After clicking on the Sources tab, access the page with all of your sources already uploaded. Helpful information is available on this page:
- Total number of sources uploaded.
- Percentage of sources already tagged, sources in progress and sources not tagged at all. Those can help you manage your time and workload.
- Total number of entries created in the project.
- Percentage of entries verified and percentage of entries controlled.
Add a source
DEEP supports a wide array of inputs to support the qualitative data review process:
- URLs (and ingesting their contents)
- PDFs
- Word files
- Excel files (limited support)
- Graphics
To add a new source in DEEP, click on the corresponding insert on the right top of your screen. As defined below, there are several options to add a source.
Add a source from a website
This first option allows you to add a source without downloading.
Fill the URL and then follow these steps:
- indicate a title;
- add a publishing date (original one, the creation date will be done automatically);
- decide who is the publishing organization and authoring organization;
- assign the lead to a member of your team;
- indicate its priority level, confidentiality status; and,
- check the box if your source is an assessment.
Verify organizations in the search bar
The verification badge facilitates finding the relevant organization while adding documents to your projects in DEEP. While entering part of the organization's name or its acronym, DEEP automatically recognizes the organization that matches your search (both in English and other languages) and sorts them according to the number of existing sources. All organizations verified by the DEEP team appear with a verification badge. This will let you avoid duplicating organizations in your projects and be sure to be aligned with the rest of the DEEP users.
Add sources
Access this option by clicking on Add a source and then on Add sources from the menu. This option allows a “bulk upload” by picking documents from different sources (Browse Files, Drive, Dropbox).
To upload documents from drive and dropbox, make sure you are logged-in your Gmail account and give access to your documents.
When a document is uploaded, the title appears directly from the sources but can be modified. Characteristics of the document are then to be filled in the same way as for a source from a website.
You can upload several documents simultaneously. You can delete an uploaded document by clicking on the bin.
Add sources from connectors
Access this option by clicking on Add a source and then on Add sources from connectors from the menu. This way of adding sources directly refers to the section connectors on creating a project.
When your window opens, you can choose on the left hand side the project connectors and you choose which connector you’ve created that will be able to fit your documents.
Then you can start to choose documents you want in the sources found section. When you click on a source, its metadata appears on the right hand side of your window, showing you more info on the source and a preview. You can choose to ignore or add this source.
Save when finished and you have successfully added sources to your project.
Add a source directly from the Chrome extension
Adding a source is possible directly while navigating on the internet by using the deep-browser-extension on Chrome.
While on the website of the desired source, click on the extension. A window pops up where you can fill categories similar to the one presented in the previous section. Click save and your source is directly added to the corresponding project in DEEP.
