There are 4 steps to InFuse

Step 1: Topics

All available topic combinations appear in the grid on the screen.
Narrow down the topic combinations by using the Filters column on the left hand side of the screen (you can tick multiple items)
The Filters column consists of:
- Topics: these are all of the individual topics that appear in the census
- Information about: this is the unit of measurement (e.g. most combinations consist of the number of people or the number of households)
- Number of Topics: If you know that you want a 2 topic combination then you would select this (e.g. Age and Amenities)
When you have found your topic combination click Select
You will then see a definition of the components of the topic combination

Step 2: Categories

Use the + and – buttons to expand and collapse the topics.
Tick categories within each topic, and click Add.

Step 3: Geography

Choose the areas for which you want data. You have the flexibility of selecting all areas within an area type, for example all Districts within the County of Cheshire. Some geography types containing large numbers of areas (Districts within the UK, for example) can be chosen, but not expanded to avoid displaying huge lists. Individual areas for these geography types can be displayed by expanding within higher level geography types (Counties, for example).

Expand and collapse the areas
Tick boxes to choose areas or area types.
When finished, click Add button to confirm area selections.
