Creating Projects

To create a new project:

  1. On the Welcome screen, click the New Project button.

OR

  1. On the File menu, click New Project.

The New Project dialog box is displayed.

  1. Enter a name for your project in the Title field.

The project Title is not the same as the project file name. Although the title is used as a default when you first save a project, subsequent changes to the title are not reflected in the file name.

  1. If required, enter a description of your project in the Description field. For example, this might include information about the objectives of your research project.

  2. To change the location of the project, click the Browse button. By default projects are saved to your My Documents folder.  If you are running Windows Vista, projects are stored in the Users\<username>\Documents folder.

You can edit this default in Application Options.

  1. Click OK.

The NVivo window is displayed with project file name in the title bar.
