Tools > Assign Codes to Segments

  • In order to be able to assign codes to segments, you must have previously created them by using the command Tools > Define Codes. These two commands are to be used together in conjunction with the command Distractors > Individual Distractors. The attribution of codes to segments is visible in both the horizontal view and the vertical view.

  • In the integrated editor of Zigzag Generator, select the textual segment to which the code should be attached (the segment will change color):



  • Select the menu Tools > Assign Codes to Segments (or click on the button on the toolbar). The window called Assign Codes to Segments will appear.



  • On the left-hand side of the window are the Available Codes not yet assigned to the segments selected in the integrated editor of Zigzag Generator. To assign an available code, you have two choices:

    • Double-click on the code to be assigned.

    • Select the code to be assigned and click on the right-pointing arrow.

    In both cases, the selected code is transferred to the right-hand side of the window. You will se the code now under the Assigned Codes column.


  • In multi-selection mode, a code can be assigned to many segments at a time. To access the multi-selection mode, click on the Ctrl key while using the mouse to select the desired segments; the segments will change to be red in color.


  • In the Assign Codes to Segments window, select the desired code (here: Firs) and click on the right-pointing arrow (or double-click on the code). The code will then be assigned to multiple segments at once:
