Pending limit for incentives
If you enable the pending limit for your current calendar year incentives, any new study or screener that is completed by a participant will count immediately towards the pending limit. This means the participants doesn't have to be invited to schedule or confirmed to add to their pending limit. It's useful if you have participants filling out multiple studies at the same time and you want to limit their eligibility.
Logic
There are some interesting points to consider around how the logic applies to pending state:
- Cancelled participants in the scheduling part of a study will not be counted towards pending
- Multi-session mode - the pending limit takes the amount in study details and multiplies it by the number of sessions. So if you enter $75 in study details, and you have 3 sessions, the pending limit will be $225.
Multi-Session Details
- For MSM, it's easier to reach the pending limit because of the multiple sessions. Please keep in mind that even one MSM study can launch a participant well past their yearly incentive limit.
