Notifying the participant when a quota or screen out is exceeded
You can decide what happens when a participant exceeds a quota or triggers a screen out. You can either:
- show a default page with a customised message
- send them to a page of your choice
These can be set for the
- overall target quota in the Quota Control dialog
- variable based quotas and screen outs in the Quota dialog and the Screen out dialog
Setting a message

- Open the quota or screen out as follows:
- If you wish to set the message of a variable based quota, double-click the quota in the list to open it in the Quota dialog.
