The main coding screen has many options available to give you maximum flexibility in how you code your data. There are options as seen on the coding screen itself, as well as those shown when you right click on specific areas of the screen. The image below shows the sections of the coding screen. Each section of the screen is explained in separate help pages due to the sheer volume of options to be covered, as described in the table underneath.
