Searching and Filtering with Codes

Search by codes that have been created and added to your comments in open-ended questions. Use the search field at the top of the stats page to search comments by plain text, by response ID, and by code.

1. From the Open Ended results page, click the Search field to access a drop-down pre-populated with any codes already added.
2. Select from the items in this drop-down, or (for larger lists) start typing the name of the code.
3. Press Enter, and any results with that code will come into view.

Once a code or codebook is added, it will behave like a variable in the logic within Custom Filters.

1. With a search query in place, click the ellipses to the far right of the toolbar.
2. Click Create filter to open the custom filters advanced logic field. Notice, there's now a variable in the logic that will let you assign or reload the data by codes.

If you have a code pre-populated in the search field, this will appear in the logic. On the other hand, you can add the advanced logic yourself. This advanced filter is available in the open-ended interface; it will globally filter the entire survey and enable you to create a custom report. This logic is also available in the filter icon outside of the open-ended interface allowing you to filter the entire dataset by these codes.
