Defining quotas

Each survey task has an overall sample target (for example, you might want to conduct 500 interviews). This can be set in the target sample size property of the task properties. However, when you want to set individual quotas that make up this overall target, you should use the quotas window. Here, you can set a minimum and maximum target for individual quota criteria. If your changes in the quotas window affect the overall target sample size, then the value in the task's target sample size property will change accordingly.
