Collect survey responses based on Manual Headcount
You can collect survey responses based on Manual Headcount. Responses collected using Manual Headcount are analysed from the same places you analyse other types of survey response.
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.

Introduction
What it looks like
When to use it
At a large in-person event
You are holding an event and use a poll within the event to get people’s responses
People put their hands up to answer each question and you manually count the number of responses
You don’t have people’s individual responses but you do know the number of people who chose each Answer Choice to each question
With Manual Headcount you can enter the number of people who responded to each Answer Choice of each question
You could also include the breakdown by gender, ethnicity or any of your demographic fields
When you want to analyse ‘already-totalled’ survey results
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
