Using Quota as a Branch Logic Item | XM Community
Skip to main content
Hello!



For my survey, I need to route people to different blocks based on awareness and usage of one of a portfolio of products. For each product, we want 200 people who have used and 200 people who are aware but never used. We want a random subset for each product and there is unequal awareness and usage across the portfolio. We want each respondent to only see one product block.



I wanted to use Quotas with the Least Filled method to route people to the relevant block. However, it looks like there is no way to capture Quota Membership to then use as a routing variable.



My ideal would be

Block Capturing Awareness and Usage

Quota Created (Product A Aware, Product A Used, Product B Aware....based on Least Filled since we know some products will have less awareness or usage and we want 200 in each cell)

Route to Product A Block if you are in Quota Product A Aware or Used



I looked into Embedded Variables but this only captures Quota Cell Has Been Met/Has Not Been Met or Count



Can anyone think of how to route people to one block based on two questions? (With the randomization I discussed before.)



Thanks!
I think it would be easier to use a Randomizer in combination with a simple quota instead of a least filled quota. You can try something like:

```

Randomizer (1 of 3, evenly present)

if Product A aware AND Product A quota not met

product = A

if Product B aware AND Product B quota not met

product = B

If Product C aware AND Product C quota not met

product = C

If product is empty

End of survey

```
Hi Tom,



This makes sense: thank you for giving it some thought!



My worry is that the awareness for some products are about 1/20th of the awareness/usage of others. So we would be wasting lots of respondents that could be in our low awareness/usage product buckets on a higher awareness product.



We would want to prioritize the least filled.



Does that help?

I think "evenly present" will take care of that. If I'm correct, it is going to assign the respondent to the product group that has been displayed the least out of the product groups they are aware of.



I'm not 100% certain, so you should try it out before fielding your survey.
@TomG Thank you! I will look into this!
