Adding User Profiles

If you are working in a team, you can add a user profile to a project in two ways: by prompting the user upon launch of the program, or by modifying the current name and initials in the application. Because NVivo considers the name unique, it will simply create a new user profile if you modify the current one.

To add a user profile upon launch:

  1. In the Tools menu of your open project, click Options.

  2. The Application Properties dialog box is displayed.

On the General tab, check the Prompt for user on launch box in the User field.

  1. Click OK.

The next time the program is launched the NVivo User dialog box will pop-up to prompt the user for an update.

Unless you clear the Prompt for user on launch check box, the NVivo User dialog box will pop-up every time the program is launched.

To add a user profile in Application Options:

  1. In the Tools menu, click Options.

The Application Properties dialog box is displayed.

  1. On the General tab, enter the new user name and initials.

  2. Click OK.

The new user details will apply to projects coded or edited from this point onwards.

Once a change in any project has been recorded against it, the new user profile will be added to the list of users under Project Properties.
