Importing Data to NVivo

Once you are finished with creating your project, it is time to start gathering the information that you want to organize and eventually analyze. There is a multitude of formats that we can choose from: Word documents, PDF files, online services (such as survey monkey) or even image files. All of the aforementioned files can be imported into an NVIVO project. 


  • On the Data tab, in the Import group, click Documents or PDFs.

 

 

  • Choose the files you want to import, and click Import.

 

 

  • (Optional) Change the name or description of the new document source. And click Done.

 

 

  • Congratulations! You have imported your documents.
