Quotas can be set on both single-select and multi-select questions. This feature is available in both Express missions and Recruit (screeners).
You have the option to set either “equal to” or “at most/at least” quotas. For “equal to” quotas, you’ll indicate the exact number of responses you’d like for a given choice. Use on single-select questions when you’d like to ensure a specific number of responses for either one choice, or for multiple choices. If a participant's selection is above your set quota for that question, they'll be excused as a potential scout, saving you time.
Use “at most/at least” when your recruit criteria is more flexible, but you want to ensure that at least a few participants pick a certain choice, or that too many participants don’t pick another choice.
- When using “equal to” quotas, any response option that does have a quota, will accept submissions that select that option until the quota is met and then the selection will become a knockout for scouts. Any response option that does not have a quota set will be an automatic knockout.
- When using “at most/at least” quotas, responses will either be reserved until at least a minimum number of a specific response is collected. Or, it will ensure that no more than a certain amount of responses are collected for a given condition. You can use just “at least” or “at most”, or use both in the same question.
