Ways to organize your data
While Delve is optimized for transcript data from in depth interviews, you can still make it work for Delve. Each file in Delve is called a "transcript" but you can use each "transcript" to represent either a question or a single participant.
Option 1. Make each "transcript" document represent a question.
Have all the participants' answers to that question in that single document.
Example:
Transcript name:
"Question 1: How did you learn about this program?"
Transcript text:
"Alyssa: I learned about it from social media.
Mark: I heard about you after I searched on Google.
Jackson: My friend told me about this."
Option 2. Make each "transcript" document represent a participant.
Example:
Transcript name:
"Alyssa"
Transcript text:
"Question One: I learned about it from social media.
Question Two: I was a teacher for 12 years before we implemented this program.
Question Three: It ended up being a good experience for us."
