Project Management

Your  data need to be organized in such  a way that  access to them  is both  quick  and accurate. In  achieving  this a good qualitative analysis program will display  an index  of  documents with facilities to select and retrieve individual documents. Computer readable text based documents can be displayed in  full so that units of text can be selected for operations such  as editing indexing ( coding or categorizing) or not making ( memos ) simply by highlighting and  without affecting the primary document. One  of the most powerful tools in CAQDAS is  the ability  to  search swiftly any number of documents for specified units of data or codes. The  software a ability  to cluster units  of text containing the words you select and to display the cluster in a window together with reference to the sources document replaces the tedious process of multiple  photocopying slicing copies into paper slips and annotating each one before sticking them into  data cards and filing them in piles  or sticking  them in appropriate places on a vast clipboard. This  process  can be undertaken without  any damage to your primary data which  are still  held  in the  original primary  documents.
