Request for User Guide / Documentation on Getting Started with DeTAILS #1

Description

@dilky97

I have successfully installed the DeTAILS desktop application, but I am looking for a step-by-step guide on how to initiate and navigate the analysis workflow.

Based on the thesis documentation, the system follows a specific six-phase reflexive thematic analysis (TA) framework. I would appreciate instructions on how to properly move through these stages:

  • Phase 1: Background Research – How do I upload literature to create the "memory snapshot" and interact with the radial map of related concepts?
  • Phase 2: Loading Data – What are the exact steps to pull data via Academic Torrents versus uploading pre-formatted Reddit data?
  • Phase 3: Coding – How do I switch between 'Review Mode' and 'Edit Mode' to refine LLM-generated codes and interact with the chat-augmented view?
  • Phase 4: Reviewing Codes – How do I use the "bucket" interface to cluster codes into higher-order reviewed codes?
  • Phase 5: Generating Themes – What is the process for dragging reviewed codes into overarching theme buckets?
  • Phase 6: Report – How do I toggle between 'Detailed' and 'Summary' views for the final CSV export?

Technical Environment:

OS: [e.g., Windows 11 / macOS / Linux]
LLM Provider: [e.g., Local Ollama, OpenAI, or Google Vertex AI]

If there is a tutorial video or a README_USAGE.md available that covers these interactive steps, please point me in that direction. Thank you for developing this toolkit!
