The System Total Quota is one way to control the number of respondents who are allowed to complete a survey. When it is used, once a specified number of respondents have completed the survey, no new responses are allowed. New respondents attempting to click into the survey are assigned a status of 'O' - Total Cap. Total Cap is different from regular quotas because it assigns a custom status. The custom status permits respondents to re-enter the survey, and be re-statused to 'P', if the total cap is lifted.
Note: Similar to "soft shutdown," any In-Progress ('P') respondents are allowed to continue with their survey when the total cap has been met, but any respondents whose statuses have changed to 'N' (Inactive) are assigned a status O when they attempt to resume their survey.
See Understanding respondent statuses to learn more.
Syntax
To enable the System Total Quota, use the totalcap tag on the appconfig widget.
appconfig totalcap: y
This causes a new tile to appear in the Quota Manager. When the number entered in the Quota Manager is met or exceeded, no new respondents are allowed into the survey.
