   Table 1. Message Participation Statistics: Surveys, External Surveys, and Recruitments

   Participation statistic	Description
   Invited	The number of recipients who are invited or reminded to complete the survey by the message.
   Recipient Limit	The maximum number of possible recipients entered in the Set recipient size limit field of the invitation. For more information, see Create an invitation.
   Started	The number of recipients who received the message and started the survey.
   Incomplete	The number of recipients who started, but did not complete the survey.
   Response Rate	The number of recipients with a status of Completed, Disqualified, or Over Quota, expressed as a percentage of the total Invited recipients.
   Completed	The number of recipients who received the message and completed the survey. Note: This statistic includes participants who completed the survey from the activity widget in a member hub.
   Disqualified	The number of recipients who received the message and attempted to complete the survey but were disqualified.
   Over Quota	The number of times that recipients who received the message have been recorded with status Over quota because of the following scenarios: Recipients are blocked from completing the survey because the entry quota was met. Recipients partially complete the survey, and then are disqualified or terminated because of in-survey quotas that limit the number of answers collected for specific questions. Note: Recipients who encounter a skip rule based on a quota are not included in the Over Quota count. Depending on whether they complete the survey, do not complete the survey, or encounter a Termination Point with a quota, they could be counted as Complete, Incomplete, or Over Quota, respectively.
   Sent	Note: This statistic applies to confirmation messages in recruitments only. The number of eligible recipients to which the confirmation message was sent.
   Confirmed (opted in)	Note: This statistic applies to confirmation messages in recruitments only. The number of eligible recipients who confirmed (or double opted-in) and joined the Community.

   Success Rate	A percentage value expressing the number of sent messages (minus the number of hard bounces and soft bounces), divided by the total number of sent messages.

Note: For confirmation messages in recruitments, Clicked includes the number of participants who clicked the confirmation link in the confirmation message, and in any confirmation reminders.
   Hard Bounces	The number of recipients for whom email delivery failed because of a server error or because of an invalid email address.
   Soft Bounces	The number of recipients for whom email delivery failed because the recipient's inbox was full.
