surveys the demographic data will be recorded on the date of the form submission this way if the historical data changes, then form results will not change if you are having issues with the demographic data not aligning to your expectations, please contact charthop support set your mimimum group size in order to protect anonymity, charthop will categorize demographics that fall below our limit as "other " for example, if we are grouping by department with a limit of 5 , the results 10 responses from engineering ➡️ displays as "engineering" 10 responses from sales ➡️ displays as "sales" 5 responses from support ➡️ displays as "support" 4 responses from marketing ➡️ displays as "other" 2 responses from operations ➡️ displays as "other" the default minimum sample size is 5 responses the minimum allowed is 3 responses to set your minimum sample size go to admin > general scroll to anonymous set the minimum sample size click the save settings button de identified form results group results by demographic fields to view your results by the demographic fields go to the form or survey where you want to view results go to responses > summary use the group by dropdown to select a field to group and analyze the results by understanding the "other" grouping if a demographic group does not reach the minimum group size, then they will be grouped with all of the other demographic groups that have not met the minimum group size as "other " see the example above in order to preserve anonymity, if the "other" grouping only consists of a single group below the minimum group size then it is combined with another identified group in order to avoid the ability to infer identity for example, insted of presenting the responses as 25 male 35 female 2 other where it would be easy to infer that the "other" is non binary the "other" results will be grouped with a named group in order to not isolate those responses 27 male + other 35 female exporting de identified survey
