Creating quotas

In this tutorial, we provide a comprehensive guide on how to create a quota in the LemurSurvey system for conducting offline surveys on an Android application. Assuming that your project is already created and all questions are prepared, we illustrate how to set up the quota.

The video demonstrates how to construct a quota that includes specific questions and defines tasks or locations for interviewers. We provide a step-by-step walkthrough using three questions pertaining to the respondent's gender, age interval, and if they have children, based on a pre-prepared table.

Special attention is paid to the distinction between interlocking and non-interlocking quotas. Interlocking quotas require certain attributes to coexist, like specific gender and age, while non-interlocking quotas, like whether the respondent has children, are independent of other factors. You will learn about the importance of balancing these quota types.

The tutorial takes you through the quota creation process in the 'Quotas' section, teaching you to add a group and describe the quota. We clarify the difference between the two quota types: 'Device' for offline surveys conducted on an Android application and 'Online' for browser-based surveys.

The video also dives into quota settings and nested questions to build interlocking and non-interlocking quotas. It shows how to add locations or tasks, and the benefit of planning tasks into subcategories for convenience in linking controllers, searching questionnaires, and exporting data.

Lastly, we demonstrate how to set the number of required interviews for each quota and task, explaining how to easily transfer data from Excel. Concluding the tutorial, we show what a filled quota looks like and hint towards our next video about creating devices and linking them to locations.

This tutorial is a must-watch for anyone aiming to conduct structured and well-organized surveys using the LemurSurvey system.
