Add a termination point

Add a termination point to mark the end of a survey and to determine what happens to participants when they leave.

Use termination points in conjunction with quota checks and conditional sequences to end the survey for certain participants. Participants who enter quota checks or conditional sequences finish the survey at your termination point.

  1. In Power Survey Authoring, click the Questionnaire tab.
  2. On the Authoring Navigation Bar, hover over Action, and then select Termination Point.
  3. In the New Termination Point dialog, type a name for the termination point, and then click OK.
    Result: The termination point is added in the Question tree.
  4. From the Reason list, select one of the following reasons for termination:
    • Completed: member status is recorded as Completed, and the member's data is included in live data reports.
    • Disqualified: member status is recorded as Disqualified, and the members' data is not included in the live data reports. However, the data is stored and can be exported.
    • Over Quota: member status is recorded as Over Quota, and the members' data is not included in live data reports. However, the data is stored and can be exported.
  5. From the Method list, select one of the following options for participants who reach the termination point:
    • Redirect respondent to another website: participants are redirected to the URL that you enter in the Go to URL field.
      Note: Redirecting to a Member Hub sends the member to the hub Welcome Page. To access the hub, members are required to sign in with their email and password.
    • Display message to respondent: participants receive the message that you enter in the text editor and the survey ends.
