Adding Custom Columns to Transcripts

If you want to capture extra information about audio or video files, you can add columns to the transcript template. For example, you might create custom columns to capture participant names and roles.  You can also auto code transcripts using the content in custom columns— refer to Auto Code by Transcript Column.

Adding and Organizing Custom Columns

Adding/removing custom columns to transcripts in a project   

When you remove custom columns, it will apply to all transcripts in your project. To do this, select the required column and click Remove.

Setting custom columns for all new projects   

Reordering custom columns in transcripts   

 

The content in custom columns is plain text— you cannot apply formatting, code, annotate, link or retrieve the content in queries.

You cannot rename, add or remove custom columns in an individual audio or video source—custom columns are applied to all video or audio sources. If you rename, add or remove a custom column from Project Properties, any data in the column will be changed or lost and the change will apply to all audio or video sources in the current project.
