Dictionary

  • a Manual Headcount is a number you type directly into Makerble without needing to select the individual contacts whom those numbers relate to.

  • It’s useful for recording approximate amounts, rough numbers or figures you have calculated elsewhere.

...

There are two ways to do this:

  1. Manual Headcount + Tagged Contacts: i.e. Add approximate amounts alongside progress that is tagged to individual contacts

  2. Manual Headcount only: Only add Approximate Amounts, i.e. do not display the option to tag progress to individual contacts

  • Let’s say that you have an external partner or colleague who has collected survey results on paper or using another tool, i.e. the surveys were not collected on Makerble

  • If that person has already summarised the survey responses so that there are total numbers of responses to each question (rather than providing you with itemised responses to each question, in other words: each respondent’s answer to each question)…

  • …you can analyse those ‘already-totalled’ survey results on Makerble by keying them in as Manual Headcount
