if over and if none tags

By default, when a respondent fails to qualify for any open quota, they are immediately routed to the system termination page and assigned the appropriate status, T or Q. The if over and if none tags allow for overriding these defaults and customizing how a quota routes a respondent out of the survey.

startgroup: quotafull
condition: never

We're sorry, we have already collected enough responses that are similar to yours.

endsurvey

endgroup: quotafull

startgroup: nonqual
condition: never

We're sorry, you have not qualified to take this survey.

endsurvey

endgroup: nonqual

In the example above, a respondent that does not qualify for any of the quota buckets in QAGE will be routed to the "nonqual" group, and a respondent that only qualifies for buckets that are full will be routed to the "quotafull" group. Neither will see Q2. The condition: never tag on the groups ensure that other respondents always skip those pages.

Details

• if over defines where a respondent should be routed to if they have an "Over quota" status.
• if none defines where a respondent should be routed to if they have a "Terminate" status.
• if over and if none can be used individually or together. 
• The point defined in if over or if none can be a label, page label, group name, or 'NEXT.'
• The group or label used with if over and if none must only have one page and must also include the endsurvey widget.
• 'NEXT' allows the respondent to continue and complete the survey even if they fail to qualify for a quota.
