Simplify NVivo and make it easier and faster to learn. Over the past 18 months, they’ve been some of the most common requests we’ve received from those who use our software. NVivo 9 will be released in October 2010, and in response to your feedback, we’re not only adding requested features, but we’re also making the software easier to use. Frequently used commands are easier to find. Tasks can now be completed with fewer steps. And you’ll work in the same way throughout the software, whether you’re coding a document or a database table, so there’s no need to learn new steps.
Best practice design makes it easier to find and work with your information
NVivo 9 has been designed using the latest Microsoft design guidelines, which means it includes new features that make it even easier to find and work with your information. From the NVivo Ribbon, to the new quick coding bar, you’ll wonder how you ever worked without them.
TAKE FEWER STEPS TO GET THINGS DONE
The new NVivo Ribbon (click here to see a sneak preview) has been designed to help you quickly find the commands that you need to complete a task. It makes the most frequently used commands easily accessible, groups commands for related tasks together, and makes commands easier to locate and use through a combination of visual and textual cues. More frequently used commands have larger icons, providing faster access.
EVERYTHING AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
You’ll also save time when you’re working with the new quick coding bar in NVivo 9 thanks to ‘auto suggest’. Just as you would in an Internet browser, type the information you’re searching for, and a list of suggestions appears to help you find it. For example, if you’re searching for the theme or ‘node’ called “rising sea temperatures”, type the letter “R” into the space on the coding tool bar. You’ll then see a list of all of the themes in your project that begin with the letter “R”. Keep typing, “i”, then “s”, and you’ll see all themes starting with “Ris” in your project. With just one click, you’ll be able to select the node you’re looking for.
If you’re using Windows 7, NVivo 9 will also let you access recent projects with one mouse click from the Windows taskbar at the bottom of your screen. They’re called “jump-lists”. In addition, you’ll have the ability to browse and manage your information by using touch to select, drag and zoom if you’re working with a touch-sensitive screen.
Simplifying NVivo
From streamlined help resources, to ‘wizards’, NVivo 9 will also include a range of new features that make it even easier to use. Additional ‘wizards’ will take you through more complex operations one step at a time. Also, our ‘help’ resources have been redesigned to make learning easier. For example, ‘voiceovers’ will now talk you through our instructional tutorials and mini ‘table of contents’ at the top of most pages make it easy for you to get directly to the information you need.
Stay tuned for more!
We’ll be revealing more about new features in NVivo 9, some of which will further simplify how you work with the software. Keep an eye out for updates on our website.
