Import > Organize > Explore! This is a great new structure for the Navigation of NVivo and the first thing I noticed as I investigated the new interface. The visual separation between the Navigation View, List View, and Detail View also enhances easy access to the Files, Coding, Cases, Notes, Queries, Visualizations, and more. The icons are crisp. The labels are uncluttered and easy to identify. It’s all part of the great NVivolution.
In addition to the welcoming visual interface, four other features also caught my attention. First, the new Modules. This optional, cloud-based set of features has been on the wish list of NVivo experts and is sure to create a buzz. More specifically, the ability to collaborate in the cloud with one of the modules will generate new opportunities for teamwork among researchers as they:
Because of the ease with which the analytical journey can be shared and offered up for feedback and critique, this new feature can contribute to qualitative research transparency while building warranted conclusions (or theories!) from the data.
Coding should never be the stand-alone pinnacle of qualitative work (more on that in a moment), but many of us do spend a significant amount of time sifting through and coding our data. A few tweaks in the way we handle and view Files while we are coding in NVivo have made a BIG difference in this version:
While you’ll hear a lot about the automated coding features in NVivo (and they’re worth exploring), sometimes it’s these simpler things that really make the difference in the daily handling of data. I love the new coding visuals.
Those of you who use the NVivo book, Qualitative Data Analysis with NVivo, will know that “See Also Links” provide an essential tool for thinking qualitatively. My colleague, Pat Bazeley, and I agree that this is one of our favorite tools in the software. (BTW: we’ll be updating our on-line materials for the book this year to match the new version of NVivo!). With “See Also Links”, you create a web of connections between (for instance) a Memo that stores your written ideas and the data or quotes that gave rise to these ideas. Better yet, in NVivo you can export this Memo and all the quotes from all those Files appear as endnotes in a Word document, following your brilliant narrative.
The great new feature in this version of NVivo is an easy access icon at the top of the File to instantly hide/show/access these bits of evidence that are scattered throughout your project. This is where we move from lumping things into piles of Codes to creating threads of connections around interesting ideas.
Being released very soon is the NVivo – Integration. I’ve been given the opportunity to use this and it’s another a feature that I’m excited to show in my trainings and consultancies. NVivo – Integration allows you to send files directly from Microsoft Office . . . including from your tablet! Through the installation of add-ins for programs like Word, Excel, and Outlook, the fuss around where to store files before importing and worrying about whether you’re looking at the file you intended to import are minimized. Simply dive in and get to work.
The big takeaway after my investigation into the new design is that it is time to applaud everyone involved in the endeavor.
At times the software interface will seem to disappear as you work with your data, follow some hunches, and challenge the veracity of your ideas .
