Quota Setting

Quota rules can control the number of times a specified option is selected. Once the specified number of selections is reached, this option cannot be selected, or selecting this option will result in an invalid response. For example, if a survey needs to collect 500 responses each from males and females, this can be controlled by setting quota rules.
