Max limit on cross-logic quota conditions? | XM Community
Skip to main content

I keep getting an error if I try to add more than 99 lines in a cross-logic quota logic set. Is there a max? I’m wondering if I just need to break it up into a couple of cross-logic quotas, or if there’s an actual hard limit. 

I will have participants who self identify as one of four categories -- let’s call then N, U, A, and M. N and U will be lumped together for the sake of quotas. 

I have 220 video clips that will be used in about a dozen conditions. For each video, I’d like to cap it at around 30 for N+U, 30 for A, and 5 for M.

It seemed like the way to go would be cross-logic quotas plus display logic:

  • Quota logic set 1: 46% N or U, 46% A, 8% M
  • Quota logic set 2: A line for each clip so the quota would only increment if someone assigned the video answered the attention check question correctly. 

I’m thinking it’s the second bullet point that’s the issue. I get to 99 and when I go to add the 100th clip condition, I get an error that says it can’t be saved.

At first I thought that since it applies percentages rather than specific counts for cross-logic quotas, that the 100 was significant, and that maybe it wouldn’t want to go below 1% per line (while assembling, it still said 100% per line in this set). So I thought I would break my clip list into multiple cross-logic quotas so each one could add up to 100, and I would just set each one’s target for the proportional number of target responses and that would do it. Before leaving to go start the second cross-logic quota I wanted to fix the percentages on the one I had created to 1% from 100% in the clip condition set, but when I tried to change the percentage for the first clip I got the same cannot save error, so now I’m not sure that I understand what I’m meant to do. 

I looked at doing simple quotas intead, but that seems like kind of nightmare.

Any advice on what I’m doing wrong/fundamentally misunderstanding about cross-logic quotas?

Thank you!

(P.S. If it makes a difference, the quotas will be used for display logic on hidden questions to power Loop and Merge.)

I’ll go ahead and close this myself. I talked to customer support last night and she didn’t know why I was getting the error, though she was able to replicate. When I asked if there was a 99-line limit per logic set she said she didn’t know of one and agreed that if there was such a limit it should be in the documentation, in which she couldn’t find any mention of it. She passed it on to the internal technical team to see if they could tell the reason for the error. In the meantime, I’m just breaking it up into 3 cross-logic quota sets instead of trying to do it in one. Seems to be working.
