ATLAS.ti 6.2

ATLAS.ti is a powerful workbench for the qualitative analysis of large bodies of textual, graphical, audio and video data. Sophisticated tools help you to arrange, reassemble, and manage your material in creative, yet systematic ways. ATLAS.ti keeps you focused on the material itself. Whether your field is anthropology, economics, criminology, or medicine: ATLAS.ti will meet your qualitative analysis needs!
The interface emulates the traditional paper & pencil desktop style. Source data is displayed on the left side of the screen while marked segments, codes, and notes about the data appear in the margin area on the right-hand side.
All functions can be either accessed via the main menu, the tool bar, context menus and keyboard.
All object types are easily accessible via combo boxes and independent object managers.
The structure of the menus is based around the main object types and therefore it is easy to quickly find the options one is looking for.
ATLAS.ti allows any combination of functions to be open together.
ATLAS.ti offers an interactive and flexible margin views. View and modify coded segments, codes, attached memos and comments and hyperlinks in the margin view. Choose between viewing only codes, memos or hyperlinks, or a combination.
When viewing data within the software, ATLAS.ti provides line wrap¬ping of text when the window size is reduced / enlarged.
Use text documents in plain text, Rich Text or PDF formats, work with audio files in mp3, au, wma, or wav format, with video files in mpeg, wmf, or avi formats, with graphic files like tif, multi page tif, gif, emf, jpeg formats, or with live Google Earth documents, kml and kmz formats (and many more).
ATLAS.ti uses an external referencing system for your data files. This makes it possible to work with a large data files like video files or with a large amount of data files. The ATLAS.ti project file remains rather small, as it only stores the information that you generate about your data, but not the data itself.
Coded text can be modified if needed, e.g. to correct typing errors, add missing or new data, to add further information like tables and figures. Color your written text or highlight text segments using a marker. Embedded object can be activated and edited from within the application.
ALL languages and characters can be used in every function of the program.
All text files can be exported as PDF, complete with codings and line/parahgraph numbering.
Copy Bundle tool stores the entire project in one compressed data file. The user can determine which data files are included in / excluded from the bundle. Use the bundled project file as secure backup or to transfer a project between computers / users.
Access all embedded OLE objects.
The object explorer functions like a directory of your entire project. It displays all objects and their related sub-objects (documents and their quotations, codes and their quotations, memos and their linked objects, families of objects and their members, network views with the objects they contain) in a hierarchical tree view. Access your data via the various sub trees directly.
The Code Manager and Code Forest can be used for drag & drop coding.
The powerful object managers help you stay organized by providing overview of the various object types like primary documents; quotations (i.e. coded segments), codes, memos and saved network views.
Lets you manage all assigned documents and indicates if there are problems (such as unavailable paths, drives, etc.).
Lets you manage all coded data segments. You can name or rename each quotation ID, sort, filter or delete quotations, write comments or review commented segments.
