Introduction
The Start Menu in codeit is accessed by clicking the "Start" button on the Project Dashboard page. It is the jumping off point when you want to start working on a coding project.
The Start Menu page lists out all of the tools available to you to work on your data.
Menu Options
When you access the Start Menu, you will see five tools available for you to use as follows:
| Tool | Description | License Required |
|---|---|---|
| Manual Coding | Displays verbatims or brands in a list allowing you to apply codes and work with your codeframe | Any |

Filtering and Options
Each of the tools listed above provide settings allowing you to control the behaviour of the tool. These settings are accessed before you start the tool, using the blue button at the bottom next to the Start button.
The settings available for each tool are different, as outlined in the following table:
| Tool | Button | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Manual Coding | Filter Data | Lets you apply filters to control which verbatims are loaded into the coding screen, rather than loading all verbatims within the selected wave |
| Quality Checking | Filter Data | Lets you apply filters to control which verbatims are loaded into the coding screen, rather than loading all verbatims within the selected wave |
| Visualize | N/A | This option does not provide filters or options - all data for the selected Task and Wave will be loaded into the Theme Visualisation tool |
| Extract Themes | Next | Opens the options page for themeit allowing you to control the behaviour of the theme extraction process |
