You can set survey expiration based on the maximum number
of survey responses you have received. This option is available for
all survey types, including survey by proxy.
If you set both an absolute expiration date and a relative
expiration date, the criteria that is met first triggers the survey
to expire. For a scenario illustrating when it would be useful to
set both, see the example at the end of the procedure Set an Absolute Expiration Date.
- On the Summary tab of an open survey, click Edit next to Expiration Max Responses.
The Maximum Responses window opens.
- Select Limit Responses and enter
the maximum number of responses you want to allow.
The maximum number of survey responses you can define is one
million.
- Click OK.
The window closes and the Expiration Max Responses field
on the Summary tab displays the maximum number of responses defined,
the number of responses received, and the number of responses that
are still allowed.
- To update the number of received and remaining responses
that display on the Summary tab, click Refresh on the ribbon.

A response is counted as soon as the answer to the first question
is submitted.
