Journals

You can record your thoughts when coding your data in journals. Make use of these to develop ideas and themes. Journals can be exported as a single journal or all journal text can be collated and exported as a single file. Journals can be deleted.

The font of the journal text uses the documents font, found in the Settings.

There is a search option to search through journal text. The search uses regex symbols for more flexibility.

  • A dot '.' is used as a wild card, e.g. '.ears' will match ‘bears’ and 'years'
  • A '?' after a character will match one or none times that character, e.g. 'bears?' will match 'bear' and 'bears'
  • A '*' after a character will match zero or more times.
  • '.' will match the dot symbol, '?' will match the question mark. '\n' will match the line ending symbol.
