If you have your own categories stored in an Microsoft Excel (*.xls, *.xlsx) file, you can import them into IBM® SPSS® Text Analytics for Surveys. See the topic Importing Predefined Categories for more information.
You can also export the categories you have in an open project out to an Microsoft Excel (*.xls, *.xlsx) file. When you export your categories, you can choose to include or exclude some additional information such as descriptors and scores. See the topic Exporting Categories for more information.
Important: From SPSS Text Analytics for Surveys Version 4.0.1, predefined categories have mostly replaced the use of code frames. For example, the Import Code Frame wizard has been replaced by the Import Predefined Categories wizard. However, this new wizard still enables you to import any existing code frames you have. In addition, the Code Frame Manager is no longer supported; to edit code values select Show > Category Codes from the menus to display the Code column in the Category pane and edit any codes as required.
If your predefined categories do not have codes or you want new codes, you can automatically generate a new set of codes for the set of categories in the categories pane by choosing Categories > Manage Categories > Autogenerate Codes from the menus. This will remove any existing codes and renumber them all automatically.
