Quota
- Survey Quota
- Collector Quota
- Conditional Quota
Note |
When you make changes to a question, response or the quota's settings, it takes a few minutes to sync the responses with the quotas. You cannot edit the quota while the response sync is in progress. In high-volume surveys, quotas may not be entirely reliable. For instance, even when the quota limit is enabled, multiple participants can enter the survey at a time, which increases the likelihood of several individuals submitting responses at the same time and potentially exceeding the quota. Therefore, we advise against relying solely on quota data when distributing monetary rewards or compensation to survey respondents. |

Multiple Quota Match Handling
When a response matches various quotas in a survey, it is placed in all the matching quotas if none of the quotas reject a response. If one or more quotas reject a response, then it is placed in all the quotas that rejected the response.
In such cases, the following precedence of action is performed:
- Close survey (highest)
- Close collector
- End current respondent session immediately
- Continue collecting responses as over quota (lowest)
Note |
| As quotas are all about restricting responses after a certain limit, the actions with the highest response denial will be given the highest priority. However, if multiple quotas with the same complete action reject a response, then the quota hierarchy (Survey, Collector, and Conditional) decides the precedence of action. For example, assume there's a survey with a survey quota with a quota limit of 50 and a collector quota with a quota limit of 100. The first 50 responses received will be placed in the survey quota and collector quota. The 51st response is marked as over quota and will not be placed in the collector quota since the survey quota rejected the response. Assume a survey has a survey quota with a quota limit of 100 and a collector quota with a quota limit of 50. The first 50 responses will be placed in the survey quota and collector quota. The 51st response is marked as over quota for the collector quota and is not placed in the survey quota as the collector quota rejected the response. Assume a survey has a survey quota with a quota limit of 100, and two collector quotas (C1) and (C2) with a quota limit of 50 for each of them. The first 50 responses will be placed in the survey quota as well as in the collector quota (C1) if collected through the first collector. The 51st response is marked as over quota for collector quota (C1) and is not placed in the survey quota as the collector quota rejected the response. The upcoming responses, if collected through the second collector (C2) will be placed in both the collector quota (C2) and survey quota. In the Reports, the Over Quota Responses count can be seen in the Summary of Responses. The response status is available in the Individual Responses, where Over Quota indicates that the response has been placed in the Over Quota status. The Conditional quotas in which the responses are placed are mentioned in the Quotas field. All the completed responses of a survey/collector are placed in the survey and collector quota respectively. To filter the reports based on quota, click Add Filter in the Filter by dropdown in the left pane. In the Create Filter window, select the required Response status from the available options and choose the required Conditional quota from the Conditional quotas dropdown. |
