The function qt is used to retrieve the target set for a particular quota, and qc is used to retrieve the current count.
qt(quotaName)
qc(quotaName)
qt and qc both return an integer. They will return target and count for the quota cell in the quota quotaName corresponding with the current respondent's answers on the questions the quota is based on.
If the respondent qualifies for several quotas within quotaName, qt and qc will return -1.
Keeping Track of the Quota Counts and Targets
CATI Supervisors can keep track of the quota counts in two places:
From the Project Management menu in the main Forsta Plus UI, by selecting Quota Targets and then the required quota. The following screen appears when clicking on the quota. Here the supervisor can change the targets (Prod. Limits).

From the CATI Supervisor interface, by selecting a survey from the surveys list and then by selecting the Quotas tab. Note that the Quotas tab is only visible when the quota setting ‘Display Quota in CATI Supervisor’ is checked.
