When collecting data, record the descriptive information to support the comparisons you want to make. For example-you might make a case for a participant called Ken, assign attributes like Age Group, Gender and Education level, and then code all of Ken's content at the case: When you begin a project, it is a good idea to decide on your units of analysis and plan for the cases you will need to represent them.Ĭases can have attributes (variables) such as Age, Gender or Location. You can open a case to see all the information that has been coded there-for example, you could review everything that Mary said or everything about Harkers Island. Your project might have cases for people, places, organizations, events or other entities that you want to analyze and compare.Ĭases are like containers that hold all the information related to a person, place or other unit of analysis. In NVivo, cases represent the 'units of analysis' in your research study-for example, the people you interviewed or the communities you studied.
