Tags are labels that you can apply to voters based on specific criteria and accessible in lists. Check out the steps below for how to create a new tag, see tag responses, and for using tags in a survey.

💬Frequently Asked Questions

In surveys, do tags correspond to each question or response?

In Numinar, each survey question (not response option) is assigned a tag. The response options for a tag will be accessible in lists with that tag. Although assigned to a question, tags are not directly linked to the question itself.

Can I tag voters individually?

Yes, from the desktop you can search for a voter and tag them. Soon you will be able to tag voters from mobile app!

Can I upload outside data into a tag?

Yes! There is no limit to the number of tags you can create. However, the upload tool is capped at 1 million rows. If you want to upload more data than that, please, reach out to us at support@numinar.com and we will handle it manually for you. We cannot guarantee that we will always be able to manually upload the data if your volume of data is so large that it affects your database performance.

Check out this article for how to import data into Numinar, which requires creating a new tag.
