Field Evenly Over Time (FEOT)

Buyers have use cases that require them to collect an even number of completes over a period of time.

To use this functionality, the feature must be enabled by an operator in you buyer account. Please contact your account manager.

For more information on this feature, access the Field Evenly Over Time - Guide.

FEOT takes the desired number of completes and divides them evenly over the defined number of weeks, days and hours.

Example

If we want 1000 completes evenly spaced over 5 days: FEOT will allow a max of 200 completes per day for 5 days.

To enable FEOT on a survey, you must pass in the following extra request body parameters in either the POST /surveys or PUT /surveys/:surveyId endpoints.

Create survey endpoint reference

Update survey endpoint reference

{
    ...
    "is_feot_enabled": true,
    "feot": {
        "pacing": "hours",
        "interval": 12,
        "is_custom": true
    }
}

Use one of these values to change the pacing hours, days, weeks (7 days from launch date) with is_custom: true.

In case you use is_custom: false, the pacing used will be days.

Important Considerations

The pacing interval cannot be bigger that field_time.

The system will recalculate the number of completes required at each interval automatically taking into consideration the remaining field time and the total number of completes required. The frequency of this recalculation is the same as the pacing and interval values.
