How do I exclude a group from a quota? 

To exclude a group from a quota, input a 0% next to grouping. This will exclude this group from the survey sample. For example, if a user only wants females in their survey, all quotas with ‘male or masculine’ should have 0%. Please note: if a quota is excluded from the study (has a 0%) you cannot add this group after the survey has gone live. 

Can I modify quotas once my survey is live? 

Yes! Click the ‘Edit’ button on the survey details page. From there you can edit your quotas. Please note- you cannot add any quotas to an existing survey- you can only modify existing quotas. If you put 0% in for a quota, you cannot change/add that quota when editing. You can also remove your quotas altogether if necessary. This will not trim any existing respondents and the remainder of your responses will be based on natural fall out. 

What is the difference between interlocked and non-interlocked quotas? 

Interlocked quotas are defined by more than one metric (ex: gender and region), meaning the respondent has to qualify for both demographics in order to fill that quota. Interlocked quotas give greater control over a study’s sample composition, but normally take longer to fill.
Non-interlocked quotas refer to quotas where metrics are separated, meaning the respondent only has to meet one metric to fill that quota (ex: age). Non-interlocked quotas  give less control over a study’s sample composition but tend to fill faster than interlocked quotas.
