Why this helps
Territory research can become a scattered collection of statistics that is difficult to revisit or compare.
- Gather planning-oriented statistics for selected small areas.
- Use a consistent briefing prompt for each review.
- Reduce manual work preparing territory research.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notis to Census bureau once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Describe the tracts or block groups and Planning Database fields to include in the brief.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real area and confirm the available fields support your planning use.
Questions about this workflow
What areas can I query?
The Planning Database includes tract and block group level data. Confirm the selected query and fields are available for the areas you need.
Can the brief recommend territories?
It can summarize the requested data and apply criteria you provide. Any criteria or baseline not present in the data must come from you.
