# 20. How to Add Subject Weighting to Zones in TrackAble

## Subject weighting allows you to give certain subjects a higher or lower influence when calculating overall progress within a Zone. This guide explains how to enable weighting, apply it correctly, and understand how TrackAble automatically adjusts weightings to ensure totals remain valid.

### **Before You Begin**

Weighting can only be applied **after your Zones have been created**.

If you need support setting up Zones, please view the related webinar or refer to the Zones setup guide.

### **Step 1: Enable Subject Weighting**

1. Go to **Admin \> Settings \> Zones**.
2. Switch on **Allow subjects to be weighted**.
3. Click **Save Changes**.

This enables weighting functionality across your Zones.

### **Step 2: Apply Weighting to a Zone**

1. Go to **Admin \> Lists \> Zones**.
2. Find the Zone you want to configure.
3. Click **Edit Zone**.
4. Enter weighting percentages for each subject.
5. Click **Save**.

> You can also turn **weighting off for individual Zones** if you prefer consistent weighting for most Zones but exceptions for specific ones.

### **How TrackAble Handles Weighting Totals**

TrackAble requires subject weights to total **exactly 100%**.  
If the numbers you enter do not add up to 100%, TrackAble will automatically adjust them:

#### **When the Total Is Less Than 100%**

TrackAble adds the remaining percentage to the **lowest weighted subject**.

**Example:**

- Number = 50%
- Using & Applying = 25%
- Shape & Measure = 20%  
  **Total = 95%**

TrackAble adds the remaining **5%** to the lowest subject (Shape & Measure), bringing the total to **100%**.

#### **When the Total Is More Than 100%**

TrackAble subtracts the excess from the **highest weighted subject**.

**Example:**

- Number = 55%
- Using & Applying = 25%
- Shape & Measure = 25%  
  **Total = 105%**

TrackAble removes **5%** from the highest subject (Number), bringing the total to **100%**.

### **Important Notes**

### **Deleted Subjects or Frameworks**

If an assessment framework or subject linked to a Zone is deleted:

- It will appear in the Zone list as **“Deleted”**
- Weighting cannot be applied
- Reports cannot run for that deleted subject or framework

If this occurs, update your Zone to remove or replace the deleted item.
