Behind the Scenes: Setting up the SimplyAnalytics Booth

Hi everybody! This week we wanted to bring you something unique, so we’re taking you behind the scenes to show you what goes in to setting up the SimplyAnalytics conference booth you’ve come to know and enjoy for the past few years. Let’s get into it now!

First, we need to ensure that our booth arrived intact during shipping – did you know that altogether, our booth weighs over 450 pounds?! The two pictures below represent our typical initial inspection to make sure everything arrived ok.

The assembly process requires about 3 hours, ideally with 2 people.

From the Help Desk – Analyzing all States at Once

Hello readers! This week’s “From the Help Desk” is short & sweet. Let’s get to it!

Question: How do I analyze all of the states at once in a report?

Answer: The Ranking Report allows you to analyze all of the smaller geographic units in one larger area. For example, all the states in the USA, all of the Census Tracts in a County, etc.

Ranking Reports are a default view in your project, so there are only a few steps required.

1. Open the Ranking Report from the list of Views on the right side of the SimplyAnalytics window

2. In your Ranking Report, set the location to be: USA

3. Set the appropriate dropdown to be: States
