Sometimes you realize that it would have been better to import a text as a focus group transcript after you have already imported and coded it as a normal text document. In this case you can use the function Insert displayed text as focus group transcript, which is available in the main menu of MAXQDA. First, open a document and then start the function from the menu. MAXQDA will insert a copy of the text as a focus group document:
• The participants contributions will be coded automatically and corresponding codes for each participant will be created in the „Code System“ window.
• MAXQDA will copy all existing coding information and memos into the newly created document, also the variable values and the summarys.
• A linked media file will be linked to the new document, too.
• The links in or on the document will not be transfered.
