Organizations can limit the number of submissions they accept in a Project. Submission cap limits can be a good way to encourage timely submissions by letting applicants know that it’s an exclusive opportunity or simply to limit your team's review workload if desired.
To set a cap limit on your Project, follow the steps below:
1. Click on Projects.
2. Select a Project from your Project list.
3. Click on the General Settings tab.
Under the General Settings tab, scroll down until you see the checkbox labeled Set Submission Cap. Check the box and enter the submission cap limit for the Project. The image below shows a cap limit of 100. A progress bar will appear next to the setting that shows how many submissions have been received under the cap limit. When the limit is reached, the Project will automatically close.
You can choose to receive a notification to your organization's primary email address once you've reached a predetermined percentage of your submission cap. The example below is set to send a notification once 90% of the total allowed submissions have been received.
You can display the submission cap limit on your organization's portal page. Displaying the set submission cap will prompt submitters to submit earlier rather than later to ensure inclusion in a limited submission pool. Leaving this box unchecked will hide the cap limit information from submitters.

When a submission cap has been reached, and draft holders attempt to submit, they will see this message:
