Summary
Now you have a CODA Form for the hypothetical activity in which you have created 3 Events and
lled the Event buttons with the images for each� Each Eventbutton has 3 Popup Tags and 2 Tags�
You have grouped the Popup Tags by color, you have named them all to describe their various
event descriptors and possible outcomes; and the Tags, (which may be selected at random as
non-associated event descriptors,) are dierentiated by a distinctive elliptical shape�
What has been described in paragraphs 4 – 8 above are the basic building blocks of the CODA
application�
As a starting point for your own activity it would be helpful to you if you were to compile a list of
all the primary events, (each of these will become an Event Button,) that may occur during the
activity�
Next, for each of these, list the variable descriptions which may arise� Those descriptors which
are specic to an event will become Popup Tags, those which are global to the whole activity will
become Tags�
In the example above, the primary events possible are the selections from the grading belt of
either a banana, a peach or a pineapple� A further possible description specic to each piece of
fruit, is that the piece of fruit selected may be unripe, it may be ripe or it may be over ripe� These
are the Popup Tags which are linked to each Event� A further consequence description which has
been added but would not necessarily be dependant in the event is that the piece of fruit could
be replaced on the grading belt or discarded. These 2 consequences are Tags�
