You can export all behavioral information from an INTERACT document easily. In most cases, a simple copy & paste allows you to transfer data between INTERACT and your target application.
The content of all Result dialogs can be copied or saved as a text file. Even the raw data can be transfered by copy & paste.
For some purposes a real export is needed though.
To keep the size of this manual under control, the listed routines are described in the INTERACT Help only.
Export statistics - The content of any of the Results dialogs can be transferred by Copy & Paste a well as a Save as... command. Details are available in the corresponding topics. |
Export to SPSS - The Full statistics results from the Timeline Chart can be exported in a special SPSS format that puts all cases (= DataSets) in one line. |
▪Read Export Results to learn how.
Interval based export of Codes per Class - From within the Timeline Chart, it is possible to export your data into a matrix, in which each line presents a predefined time interval and each Class is represented by a single column. The Code that was logged first (for a particular Class) within an interval, is entered into the corresponding Class column. This works for Classes with mutual exclusive Codes only! |
▪Click Analysis - Evaluation - Timeline Chart , to create a Timeline Chart with the data to export.
▪Select Analysis - Export per Class from the TLC menu.
▪Read Export data per Class for further information.
Interval based export per Code - Also from within the Timeline Chart, you can create a 0/1 Matrix, based on a predefined interval. For each Code/Class combination, a separate column created. Each line represents the predefined interval. Whenever a Code was coded within an interval, a 1 is entered into this line. If no Code was coded, a 0 is entered. |
▪Click Analysis - Evaluation - Timeline Chart , to create a Timeline Chart, with the data to export.
▪Select Analysis - Export per Code from the TLC menu.
▪Read Export data per Code for details.
Cluster data export - To get to the roots of pattern detection or to exclude minor coding errors, the Cluster data export routine is worth a second glance. |
▪Click Analysis - Evaluation - Timeline Chart , to create a Timeline Chart, with the data to export.
▪Select Analysis - Cluster Data Export from the TLC menu.
▪Read Cluster Data Export for further explanations.
Raw data file contents - If necessary, you can export all Observation Codes from the current data file, including time information, DataSet and DataGroup information, Independent Variables, as well as your Transcriptions. You can make your selection in the raw data export dialog. |
▪Click Start - Current Document - Export > Raw Coding Data, in the toolbar.
▪Select the items you want to export in the 'Export' dialog.
▪Read Export Raw Coding Data for more details.
Export transcripts - If you only want to get the textual contents of the transcript field entries of the current document, do as follows: |
