Create an Aggregate Census Code

Add an Aggregate Code

Click the [Add] button. Enter the Aggregate Code (name), using a combination of up to three letters and numbers, such as “MPR.” Then type in a Description. Click [Save] to add the Aggregate Code to the Aggregate Census Codes list.

In the Aggregate Code detail, make selections for Census Codes to include by checking the boxes for one or more and clicking [Save].

Distribute Weight fields will appear for each included Census Code to in the right-hand column. Enter values in the fields. Click [Save].

Important Caution: When an aggregate consists of census codes that do not add up to 100 percent, the code will be flagged in red. The aggregate code will still be available wherever census codes may be assigned; however, plan results will not be accurate.

Distribute Weight Evenly — Click the Distribute Weights link in the table header. This setting is recommended when the Aggregate Code contains numerous Census Codes.

Edit an Aggregate Code

Quick Tool Tip: Click the column headers on the Aggregate Census Codes and Census Codes list to sort the list.

Click the [Edit] icon for the record. Once selections are changed, Distribute Weights fields will again display for modification.

Click [Save] when the entries are complete.

Delete an Aggregate Code

To delete an aggregate code you created, click on the [Delete] icon. (If the aggregate code record displays without this icon, it cannot be removed.)

Restore Aggregate to Default

For the default codes you have edited, use the [Revert] icon to restore the aggregate to the system default.
