Verbatim Coding is a valuable way to organize responses to open-ended questions. By labeling and categorizing insightful comments from respondents using codes, you can save time by efficiently identifying common themes within your data set.

1. From the Stats page, click the Verbatim icon below the header, or on the right side of a question header.
2. Click the Coding icon in the left menu. From here, create codebooks and add codes to organize open ended responses.
