Wed, 18 Aug 2010 12:19:00 -0700 Archiving projects in Saturate http://saturate.posterous.com/archiving-projects-in-saturate-on-vimeo http://saturate.posterous.com/archiving-projects-in-saturate-on-vimeo

When you are completely done with a project you can archive it. After you've archived your project, Saturate will create a zip file that contains the project's coding (in a csv file), memos, text data, tabular data and a list of webpages (it may take a minute or two for Saturate to create the zip file). Once the zip file is ready, you'll see a download link below the archived project's name as shown in this video.

Wed, 07 Jul 2010 08:31:54 -0700 Now in Saturate you can code and memo audio data (without transcribing it) http://saturate.posterous.com/now-in-saturate-you-can-code-and-memo-audio-d http://saturate.posterous.com/now-in-saturate-you-can-code-and-memo-audio-d

Suppose that you have some audio data, say some recorded interviews, and you don't want to transcribe the recordings. Now in Saturate you can upload those recordings and directly code and memo the audio. This video shows you how.

Thu, 01 Jul 2010 10:53:00 -0700 Small change in Saturate: "Groups" are now called "Projects" http://saturate.posterous.com/small-change-in-saturate-groups-are-now-calle http://saturate.posterous.com/small-change-in-saturate-groups-are-now-calle

Groups in Saturate are now called projects because this better captures how they are used. A project in SaturateĀ is a collection of data, coding and memoing shared between members of a project team.

Memoing in Saturate has just been improved in a few ways. Specifically, Saturate is now smarter about incorporating selections and attaching the memo to the source of the selection. Watch this video for details.

Thu, 22 Apr 2010 08:01:02 -0700 Coding in Saturate http://saturate.posterous.com/coding-in-saturate http://saturate.posterous.com/coding-in-saturate

I've just made several improvements to coding in Saturate. The main change is that you can now code in more places. For example, when you are looking at all of the data coded with a given code, you can further code portions of that data right on that page. Have a look at this video for details.

In Saturate you can search through your memos, coding and text data. This short video shows you how.

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:37:45 -0800 A collection of small changes http://saturate.posterous.com/a-collection-of-small-changes http://saturate.posterous.com/a-collection-of-small-changes A few small changes have been rolled out to Saturate. You'll notice avatars used in more places. Coding is now shown beside text data, rather than below. When looking at the memos for a group, only 30 memos are now shown at a time. To see more memos, click on the "next" link at the bottom. Same goes for activities and text data. Finally, we've made it more obvious that Saturate supports tabular data.
Have a look at these screenshots to see these changes ...

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I've rolled out some user interface changes to Saturate. The most important changes have to do with the way codes are categorized. I'll give a few more details about this in a subsequent post.

If you have any questions please send me an email at saturateapp@gmail.com.

If you have a file you want to share with a group in Saturate, you can attach that file to a memo. For example, you may want to share a graph you made in Excel or the audio from an interview. This video shows you how to do it.

In Saturate you can share and analyze tabular data such as Survey data. For example, you can add a survey with questions (i.e., a header) and responses (i.e., several data rows).
