The third step in creating a project is selecting target groups. On the left side of the third window you see an overview of all target groups, organized in folders. You can open and close folders the regular way, by double-clicking the triangle in front of them. You can select target groups for the project by selecting them in the left list and click the Add button . You can remove target groups from your selection by selecting them from the right list (active target groups) and click the Remove button.
Invite all
Next to the Active Target groups are three columns. The first one states the Size of the target group. The second column contains a drop-down menu per target group, where you can indicate if you want to invite the whole target group, a percentage of the target group or a sample of the target group. If you choose All, the whole group will be invited. Only when All or percentage is chosen, you can use the reminder functionality.
Invite percentage
When you choose Percentage from the drop-down menu, you can enter the percentage of respondents in the target group that should get an invitation to the survey.
Invite sample
Alternatively, you can not invite the whole target group and set a Target size. If you enter a sample size, the Metatude system invites just enough people to collect this volume of response. For instance if you only need 25 responses from the group 'Asia', you define this as the sample size. During the project the software monitors the response rate and sends out extra invitations when needed. To set a sample size, just click the number to edit it.
