Remove participants from a recruitment survey

End a survey for participants who do not meet your profile criteria in a recruitment survey.

Example

You want to create a community for vehicle owners. To prevent non-vehicle owners from completing your survey, you create the following question named Vehicle owners:

Do you own a vehicle?
  • Yes
  • No

Place a Survey Logic action after this question and use it to create a condition to remove participants who do not own vehicles. To do so, you would set your survey logic condition to target participants who answered your question "No".

After you create your condition, place an End Survey action in the Survey Logic.

Participants who answer "No" will leave your survey and receive your Reason to end survey message, while participants who answer "Yes" will continue on in your survey.

Step 1: Add a profile question to your survey

Add a profile question to the survey Table of Contents. For more information, see Create questions.

Step 2: Create a survey logic condition

Use a Survey Logic action to trigger the End Survey action in your survey for participants who do not meet your profile criteria. For more information, see Skip or display questions based on a previous answer.

Note: The Survey Logic action must appear after the profile question in the Table of Contents.

  2. Create your condition.
    1. In the Survey logic action list, select Display only.

    4. Select the operator.
    5. From the Select answers/values list, select the answer to include in the condition.
  3. Close the Survey Logic action.

Step 3: End your survey

After you create your condition, add an End Survey action to your survey logic.

  1. From the Survey Builder Toolbox, drag the End Survey action onto the survey logic object in the Table of Contents.
