Open-End Cleaning

Open-End Cleaning reviews open-ended responses for quality issues before coding. Metaforms processes respondents in batches, flags questionable answers, translates language-mismatched responses, and lets you keep, junk, edit, or export the results.

Cleaning is optional for coding. If you skip it, Open-End Coding treats the response file from OE Setup as already clean.

Before you begin

Complete OE Setup first. The following items must be confirmed:

• Open-ended question set

• Response-column mapping

• Entity glossary
