Code | Description |
---|---|
1 | Successful completion Any interview in which all relevant questions have been asked is flagged as successfully completed. This is the default. |
2 | Premature termination with data. Use this code to identify interviews that were not completed for whatever reason. This is a useful exit code for paper questionnaires or CATI surveys where the respondent can simply choose not to continue answering questions. It allows you to differentiate between these interviews and interviews that were stopped, where the respondent may have had the intention of continuing with the interview. |
5 | Terminated by quota control Interviews that are terminated by quota control can often be confused with successfully completed or partially completed interviews. Use this exit code to flag interviews that were terminated because the respondent belonged in a group whose quota had already been filled. |
6 | Early completion Use this code to treat an interview that is only partially completed as if it were a fully completed interview. You might decide to do this if the respondent has reached a certain point in the questionnaire. |
8 | Premature termination without data This code is not applicable to products, which always write data. |
9 | Interview stopped with no data written This code is not applicable to products, which always write data. |
10 | Interview stopped with data written Use this code to identify interviews that have been stopped pending completion at a later date. |
