To make a copy of all the code references for a particular code, select the code in the Code Book, then choose “Duplicate” from the Edit Code popup menu. Creating new code references with the Duplicate command NOTE: The Rename and Re-Code commands both cancel any case filters, so they affect all cases in your study, even if you have set up a case filter. All code references for all the selected codes are changed to the new code you choose. You can also re-code more than one code by selecting all the codes you want to change in the Code Book. When you Re-Code, the original code is still in the Code Book and you can continue to use it. The main difference between Rename and Re-Code is that a renamed code is removed from the Code Book and replaced by the new name. All the first code’s references are changed to use the second code instead. Then either select a code to reassign the first one to, or create a new one. To assign all a code’s references to a different code, select the code you want to reassign, then choose “Re-Code” from the Edit Code popup menu at the top of the Code Book. Reassigning code references with the Re-Code command Any coding you’ve done with the old name is changed to refer to the new name instead. This command changes the code’s name to the new name you enter. To simply change a code’s name throughout your study, select the code, then choose “Rename” from the Edit Code popup menu at the top of the Code Book. Changing a code’s name with the Rename command For more information about the distinction between the global changes you make in the Edit Code popup menu and the specific changes available in the Codes menu, see “The Codes menu versus the Edit Code menu” in the Code Book topic. NOTE: The “Rename”, “Re-Code”, and “Duplicate” commands in the Edit Code popup menu change the code wherever it appears, while the commands in the Codes menu change only the selected code references. You have three options: Rename, Re-Code, and Duplicate.
