6. Subject

A subject is the name of any person, place, or thing that you want to save records for.

Subjects are used only if you want to save a record of a session or transaction. If you have no need to save a record, leave the subject box blank.

Subjects often represent a person's name. For example, if you are interviewing patients, the subject would be the patient's name.

Each project has one or more lists of subjects associated with it. You can see the list by pressing the down triangle on the Subject Bar. The names contained in the list depend on which of two "Use" options are checked:
  1. If the Use Directory box is checked, the names are read from prior records for the project. If there is no prior record for a subject's name, the name will not be listed.

  2. If the Use List box is checked, names are obtained from a list selected by the Select Subject List button. Names are included whether or not records exist.
The "Use" options are accessed by clicking the Subject button on the Subject Bar. Subject Lists are created by clicking the Edit Subject List button.
