You can limit the number of times a participant can complete a quiz, survey, or evaluation by setting an access limit in the questionnaire settings. This ensures participants can only complete the questionnaire once—or a defined number of times.

Where to Set the Access Limit

For Surveys

  • Navigate to MarketingSurveys

  • Select the survey you wish to configure

  • Open the Settings tab, then open the Registration sub-tab

  • Set a value under Survey access

  • Click Next step (bottom right) to save and apply your changes

For Quizzes

  • Navigate to Tools & TeachingQuizzes

  • Select the quiz you wish to configure

  • Open the Settings tab, then open the Registration sub-tab

  • Set a value under Quiz access

  • Click Next step (bottom right) to save and apply your changes

For Evaluations

  • Navigate to Tools & TeachingEvaluations

  • Select the evaluation you wish to configure

  • Open the Settings tab, then open the Settings sub-tab

  • Set a value under Evaluation access

  • Click Next step (bottom right) to save and apply your changes

How Access Limits Work

  • If you keep the default value (0):
    → Participants will have unlimited access to complete the questionnaire.
    → They will be able to complete it as many times as they want.

  • If you enter 1 (for example):
    → Participants will only be able to complete the questionnaire once
    → This restriction applies as long as they remain listed in the questionnaire’s participant list.
    → If you manually delete a participant’s record from the list, they will be able to complete it again.

This setting allows you to control questionnaire access and avoid multiple submissions from the same user when needed.
