# Convert a Survey Item into a Demographic Filter

Converting a survey item to a filterable demographic field allows you to take questions from a survey and add them as a demographic value that can be measured and filtered within heatmaps, snapshots, correlations and comment reports. To convert a survey item, please follow these steps:

1. Click **Admin**, then the survey title name.
