What do you want to do?
You can use nicknames in the quick coding bar. They are particularly useful for nodes that have long names—for example perceptions of water quality could be shortened to PWQ. Nicknames must be unique in the project.
Refer to More manual coding techniques (Using nicknames to speed up coding) for more information about using the Quick Coding bar.
You can give a node a shortened name or 'nickname' to facilitate quick coding:
In List View, select the node.
On the Home tab, in the Item group, click the Properties image.
The Node Properties dialog opens.
In the Nickname box, enter a shortened name for the node.
Click OK.
