After saving the websites in the Web Collector (see Save Web Page with Web Collector) you can import them into your MAXQDA project:
- Open the MAXQDA project you want to import the saved websites in.
- Mark a document group in the “list of documents” in order to import the website in a selected document group.
- Select Documents > Import web pages from MAXQDA Web Collector in the main menu.
The following dialog window appears:
- If you open the dialog for the first time the standard folder for downloads is selected and displayed in the top of the box. Every single website located in this folder will be listed in the center of the dialog. By clicking the three dots … you can choose any other folder to import saved websites from the MAXQDA Web Collector.
- Select every website you want to import with the mouse. It will be highlighted green.
Tip: Double click a row to open the downloaded file in the Internet browser. This allows you to check single websites for their content.
- Two options are provided at the bottom of the dialog: first, you can select whether websites should be imported as pdf or picture documents. Second, you can select whether simplified websites or segments should be imported as pdf or text documents.
In order to start the import, click Import selected files. The time for import can vary depending on the scope and format of the selected document. A progress bar informs you about the import progress of each document.
In case you selected pdf or picture format and you want to import big files, MAXQDA asks you whether you want to import them as externally saved files or in the project (see External Files).
Note: The main layout will be adopted in the import process. Intentionally, the website’s changed print layout won’t be imported. Deviations from the website’s original layout might occur especially as far as complex websites are concerned.
