Response Quota

You can set a limit to the number of respondents or block the respondents who select a certain answer.

Suppose you need to record results of a certain number of respondents belonging to three age categories: 18 to 25, 30 to 40, 45 to 50. In this case, you should set limit of respondents for each category. Completed and submitted surveys of the respondents will be added to the report if they are within the limit. You will find their addresses in the 'Completed' list. The responses of other respondents will be regarded as not completed or as completed partially. If master link is used and 'Allow multiple responses' is set no results will be saved at all.

To use the "Response Quota" in your survey insert new question on the Questions page and select a question type from the dropdown box, then:

To set a limited number of respondents:

  1. Insert tag <QUOTAxxx/> into the answer field.
  2. Instead of xxx enter a number of respondents selecting this answer whose completed and submitted surveys are added to the report.
  3. Save your question.

To block the respondents:

  1. Insert tag <BLOCK/> into the answer field to block the respondents who select this answer.
  2. Save your question.
Note

  • Both tags must be inserted in simple editing mode when the WYSIWYG editor is turned off.
  • That responses of blocked respondents will be regarded as not completed or as completed partially.
  • If both tags (<QUOTAxxx/> and <BLOCK/>) were put into two separate responses for the same question, the survey will become inactive once the number of respondents who select the answer with the tag <QUOTAxxx/> reaches xxx. If the question includes extra answer options without tags applied, the survey will allow respondents to complete the survey and will count them as incomplete.
