1� The CODA Toolbars
The Function and Purpose of each of the Toolbar Icons is as follows:
a� Events
When you place your cursor arrow over the Event icon the “Add an Event to
the Form” message appears� When, (and each time,) you click on this icon an
Event button will be placed in a descending vertical sequence on the left hand
side of the CODA Form� By default an Event button will be colored blue� This
will have a default caption “Event” in the centre of the button� This Event button
will be used to mark an event when the Event Log is synchronized to the
timeline in a SportsCode™ / Studiocode™ video analysis system�
An Event button may also be created by converting an existing Tag Button� This
can be achieved by Control Clicking on the target Tag button, and selecting
the “Convert into Event” option� You may also achieve this result by selecting
the “Convert into Event option from the Edit Menu in the Main Menu Bar� Be
aware that when you convert a Tag button into an Event button, the existing
aesthetic properties of the button, (name and appearance,) will be unchanged�
When an activity is being coded, clicking on an Event button will “activate” or
“deactivate” the button and at the same time mark the Log� The button may
deactivate itself automatically or may be required to be manually deactivated
depending upon whether or not the Lag Time function is active� (Refer to para�
1�j (ii) below)� A button may also be automatically “activated” or “deactivated”
pursuant to Linking instructions� (Refer to Para� 1�j (iii) and 9 below�)
b� Popup Tag
When you place your cursor arrow over the Popup Tag icon the “Add a Popup
Tag to the Selected Event” message will appear� This icon will not be available
unless an Event button in the CODA Form is selected� A Popup Tag button has a
circle symbol in the top left corner of the button�
The purpose of a Popup Tag button is to enable you to code event descriptions
for the Event button and, (if you choose,) to describe consequent event results
and so on� They may also be tabulated for more focused analysis as part of the
analysis reporting that CODA can provide�
Refer to paragraph 5 below for further details about Popup Tag button
functionality�
When you click on this icon, (with an Event button selected,) a Popup Tag
button will be placed within a background panel referred to as a “Popup Tag
Mat” which will encompass / include / surround the selected Event button, (and
any prior created Popup Tag buttons which have been attributed to that Event
button) in the CODA Form� By default a Popup Tag will be colored yellow�
