How to set up Quota management

Updated over 3 months ago

BlockSurvey provides two types of quota management options depending on your needs:

  1. Overall Quota: This quota is set at the survey level. It limits the total number of completed responses for the entire survey.

  2. Logic Quota: This allows you to collect responses from a specific subset of respondents based on defined logic conditions.

Setup Overall Quota

  1. Go to Settings -> Quota Management in your survey.

  2. Click on Add Quota and select Overall Quota.

  3. Name the quota and enter the maximum number of responses you want to collect for the entire survey.

  4. Choose the action to be taken once the limit is reached:

    • End Response Collection: No more responses will be collected once the limit is reached.

    • Continue Response Collection: New responses will still be collected after reaching the limit, but these responses will be saved under Disqualified Responses on the Responses screen.

  5. Customize End of Survey Collection:

    • Redirect to a Thank You screen.

    • Display a default message.

    • Display a custom message (e.g., "Thank you for participating!").

    • Redirect to a URL (e.g., your website).

Note: The Overall Quota can only be set once per survey.

Setup Logic Quota

Let's set up the Logic quota with an example: You are conducting a market research survey and want to ensure you get responses from an equal number of male and female participants. You want to limit the total number of responses to 200, with 100 responses from each gender. Here's how you can set up the logic quota:

  1. Go to Settings -> Quota Management in your survey.

  2. Click on Add Quota and select Logic Quota.

  3. Name the quota Gender Quota. Set the maximum number of responses to 200.

  4. By default, the Set percentage for quota option is enabled.

  5. Click on Add Quota Logic to define your logic conditions.

    • Define quota logic for male and female respondents by adding separate Conditional groups in the same Logic Quota.


  6. If you know the exact count, you can disable the Set percentage for quota option define a quota logic, and set the desired count.

  7. Choose the action to be taken once the limit is reached:

    • End Response Collection: Stop collecting responses once the response limit is reached.

    • Continue Response Collection: Continue collecting responses but categorize them under "Disqualified Responses".

  8. Customize End of Survey Collection:

    • Redirect to a Thank You screen.

    • Display a default message.

    • Display a custom message (e.g., "Thank you for participating!").

    • Redirect to a URL (e.g., your website).

Give it a try! and make sure your survey collects the right amount of data from the right audience.
