Coding modes

You select the code for a verbatim from the coding browser using one of the following modes:

  • Search mode—Search the selected fields in a dictionary for text that begins with or contains the verbatim text, and review possible codings that contain the results by clicking the Search (Search icon. Change the coding mode to the Search mode.) icon.
  • Browse mode—Navigate through the dictionary hierarchy to find an acceptable term and code value for the verbatim by clicking the Browse (Browse icon. Change the coding mode to the Browse mode.) icon.

The Search mode is the most efficient way to search for a term. The procedures in this guide use Search mode.
