Updating the list of suppliers for a Survey

Overview

Every survey in PureSpectrum has a list of suppliers that send sample. You may update the list of suppliers, and their goal, using this API endpoint

Use

This API endpoint may be used to update a survey’s supplier list by updating a supplier’s “completes_required”, or by grouping suppliers together.

  • To “remove” a supplier - set their “completes_required” to 0.

  • Supplier allocations may add up to more than or less than 100% of the survey’s goal.

    • To set “flexibility” among suppliers, set the “completes_goal” values to be in excess of the survey’s goal.

    • To pace the flexibility among suppliers, set the “completes_goal” values to be less than the survey’s goal.

Important Considerations

  • This endpoint may only be used after a draft survey has been created

  • By default, all valid non-blocked suppliers in a locale are added to the survey upon creation. To update/remove suppliers, either omit their supplier ID from this endpoint, or set their “completes_required” to 0.

  • Suppliers can not be removed from a survey, though their allocations can be set to 0.
