e� The Session Owner
The person/device which creates a session is the “Owner” of the session� The key function which
the owner must perform is to “Start” a coding session� No other participant is able to start a
session�
f� Start Coding
Once the session owner has started the session, the Code Mode screen will become clear and
you may begin coding� If the session is in progress when you join, the Code Mode screen will be
clear and immediately available for coding�
g� Session Timer and Synchronization
Once a session has been started, all the session participants, (including the Session Owner),
become equal participants as far as the CODA server is concerned� In the toolbar of a
participants coding screen a Coding Timer displays the server time elapsed since the session was
started� All participants will display the time elapsed since the start of the session irrespective of
when they joined the session� This ensures that the coding from all participants is synchronized
with a common timeline�
Note: It is conceivable that an event could be coded live from devices located in varying time
zones� In such an instance, CODA uses UTC as a reference time� (UTC is Coordinated Universal
Time which replaced Greenwich Mean Time {GMT} as the world standard time� For CODA
purposes, UTC and GMT may be considered as being the same)� For synchronization purposes,
the CODA server is concerned only with time synchronization between itself and all the session
participants� If there is to be any third party application pulling the timeline data from the CODA
server they must ensure that these computers are also synchronized with their network time�
