While it is best practice to terminate respondents using Prequalification Questions, Custom Terminate Logic allows users to terminate respondents within PQs or in the first three questions of a survey, based on specific demographic requirements or survey answers. To use this logic on DIY surveys, users must complete the Custom Quota Logic course in the Lighthouse Academy.

⚠️ Note: Terminate logic must be written in questions that all relevant respondents will see — questions that do not contain hide or skip logic — in order to accurately enforce the commands.

Terminate Logic

Terminate Logic ends a survey for a respondent who does not meet certain criteria. A respondent who is terminated does not count toward the desired sample size — only those who complete the survey are counted.

Terminate Logic may be placed in PQs or within the first three questions of the main survey body (most commonly in single choice, multiple choice, and matrix questions).

In the example below, respondents who both purchased Brand A more than 7 months ago (from Q1) and plan to purchase it more than a year from now would be disqualified from the survey.
