Quota settings
The overall target is a quota that sets a limit on the total number of responses submitted for a survey. This stops responses submitting on reaching the target number. An example of setting an overall target is when offering an incentive for each response making sure you keep costs within budget.
Update the quota settings
- In the Collect section of the survey, select the Quotas and screen outs menu. This shows the quotas overview.
- Click Change settings to open the quota settings page.

- In Target, enter the target number of responses required. When responses are received the Required number is updated to reflect the number of responses left to fill the quota.

- Set the URL or message that is shown to the participant when the overall target number of responses is exceeded.
- Click Save to save the changes.
Changing the overall target
In a quota based on a variable, the targets counts and percentages must add up to the overall target and 100%. When the overall target is changed the target counts and percentages in the quotas are automatically updated to reflect the change.
The overall target can also be set when creating or editing a quota or screen out. Regardless of where the overall target is changed, the new target is used for all the quotas and screen outs in the survey.
