It is possible to export an entire Code System, and import it into another MAXQDA project file. This function is especially useful as it allows you to build a “Code System” in one project, then apply it to another. In this case, importing and exporting the “Code System” eliminates the need to enter new codes.

•  Right-click on the “Code System” root in the “Code System” window and select Export Code System (MAXQDA format).
• or select Codes > Export Code System (MAXQDA format) from the main menu.

The “Code System” will be converted into a specific file format with the extension MTR. You can then import the “Code System” into a new MAXQDA project with the corresponding procedure Import Code System.
