Summarizing results by demographics can provide valuable insights and help organizations make informed and strategic decisions by understanding the wishes of the individual groups that make up the organization. For example, if you are a national-level union, you could set up reporting groups to get results by State and Local.
Important Things to Know
- There is a maximum of three reporting groups for a vote.
- Each reporting group requires at least one subgroup.
- In the voter list, each subgroup requires a minimum of 3 voters to be part of it.
- Reporting Groups are NOT compatible with Preferential Voting because results are calculated through rankings and vote redistribution
Setting Up Reporting Groups
On the Voters Page, under "Voter Options", select Reporting Groups. The Group Title text box will appear.
Enter the title of your reporting group in the text box; the page will refresh when you're finished. Add additional groups by selecting the Add Reporting Group button.
Adding Subgroups to the Voter List
For each Reporting Group you add, it will show up as a column on your Voter List. You will need to assign a subgroup for each voter and have a minimum of three voters in each subgroup to validate your voter list.
Downloading Results with Reporting Groups
On the Results Page, select the Results Tab" and then either the "Summary Grouped Results" or "Detailed Grouped Results" button. A file with your grouped results will be generated and sent to the email address associated with the account.
When using Weighted Voting, use the Export Grouped Results dropdown menu to select a Grouped Results report, either with or without weighting.
