Do parent and child organizations share an allotment?

Yes. Responses created under a child organization automatically count toward the allotment assigned to the parent organization. You do not need to create a separate allotment for each child.

To make sure the child organization draws from the parent's allotment pool:

1. Open the child organization.
2. Set its Response Allotment to Are Unlimited.
3. Save.

Even though the child is marked "Unlimited", any responses created under it are still tracked against the parent organization's allotment. This avoids having to allocate or purchase a separate allotment for every sub-level in your hierarchy.

If you want a child organization to manage its own allotment independently of the parent, set the child's Response Allotment to Are Allocated or Can be Purchased instead, and create an allotment specifically for that child.
