Importing Log Entries

You can import log entries into picture sources. You can import an entire picture log or add entries to an existing log.

Log entries can be in Word (.doc, .docx), rich text (.rtf), or text format (.txt).

When importing a picture log, a line in a text file or a paragraph in a document file will be imported as one log entry and placed as a row in the Content column. If there are existing entries in the picture source, the imported log entries will be positioned after the last existing entry.

To import log entries:

  1. In NVivo, open the picture source that you want to import log entries into.

  2. On the Picture menu, click Import Picture Log Entries.

  3. In the Open dialog box, locate and select the document or text file containing the log entries.

  4. Click Open.

 Log entries in table format will become disjointed upon import. You will need to reformat the table into paragraph form to ensure a successful import.
