The reality is that for some of your work you will know the names of participants but for others you will only be able to record the number of participants. This could be for GDPR data-sharing reasons or simply because it would be impractical to capture individuals’ details during certain activities.
Key challenge: how do you keep track of both the named and unnamed beneficiaries without needing to maintain two different ways of storing information?
The good news is you can store this information in the same place on Makerble
Progress Cards are a user-friendly way to collect and collate information on attendance, participation and engagement without needing to store personally identifiable information about participants.
Record the number of unnamed participants alongside a register of named participants
Use the register to tick the names of the named participants who attended
Simply enter the number of “anonymous contacts” on your Progress Card to capture the unnamed participants who attended
Record demographics without storing personal details
Capture as much demographic information as you like about the participants, e.g.
Age Range
Gender
Ethnicity
and more
Report your information visually
Display bar charts, pie charts and tables for each demographic characteristic
Report progress over time for the metrics you track
