Why do it

You can segment your results when you include demographics in a Manual Headcount
This gives you more insight into your results
For example, if you conduct surveys or track attendances, you can see for yourself how results compare across different segments, such as Age bracket, Nationality, Gender, etc.

How to do it

There are two ways to include demographics in a Manual Headcount

Open your project's Post An Update page
Enter the Manual Headcount figure for the metric you are logging progress towards and then click Categorise
A dropdown list appears called Choose your split
Select it and choose the demographic category you want to use to split your Manual Headcount
You can add several

Launch the Quick Update popup for the metric you want to record progress towards
Add the information including the Manual Headcount amount; and then click Categorise
A dropdown menu appears called Choose your split
Click the dropdown menu to see your list of Categories
Select one
This causes the Answer Choices (Sub Categories) within that Category to appear
As you enter numbers, Makerble will check that the sum of your Split is equal to the amount of Manual Headcount you added
To add another Split, click the Categorise button again
This causes a new Choose your Split dropdown list to appear below your previous Split
Enter information in there, and repeat the process until you've added all the splits you want to do
Then press Publish
You can now segment your results demographically when viewing them on a progress board Analytics view of Progress Board
