Is there a simpler/better way to exclude previous samples from a new sample? | XM Community
Skip to main content

I'm creating my 9th sample from a certain mailing list, and I don't seem to be able to add any more sampling criteria at this point to exclude earlier samples. I need to be REALLY sure that I'm not accidentally sending someone the same email survey invitation twice, so when I create sample 9, I have been using sampling criteria to exclude sample 8, sample 7, sample 6, and so on. But now Qualtrics won't let me add any additional sampling criteria. Any ideas?

 

Also--it seems like there must be a better, more efficient way to do this in the first place than manually excluding every previous sample. Maybe something with the transaction details…? I’m a little nervous about relying on those for a real survey unless I get solid confirmation first that it’ll work, and I couldn’t seem to find anything about it on the support pages. Which is all to say: I’d happily take any and all guidance on how to accomplish this goal, whether or not it involves excluding every single prior sample manually. Thanks in advance!

Can you create an Embedded Data field that sets a value for everyone you want to exclude who was in the previous 8 samples, then use that to create your ninth sample?
