Using SimplyAnalytics: Start a New Project

This guide will help you find and interpret the data in SimplyAnalytics.

Creating a New Project

There are 2 versions of creating a new project. If you login as a guest, you will be prompted with a box to choose a location to get started. If you login with your own account, you will open the last project you were working on by default. 

Below are step by step instructions on how to create a new project in SimplyAnalytics.  The instructions are described via a clickstream below as well as by written-out steps and screen grabs.

The default seed variables are Educational Attainment, Bachelors Degree or Higher and Median Household income. These are good baselines for demographic data, but there are many more variables we can choose from later.
