Control the balance between speed of your studies and the naivety of the participants.

If not defined, by default Prolific calculates the best rate for most studies taking into account the filters and the total_available_places needed for this study.

Use 0 if your priority is speed. When this property is set to 0 all eligible participants will have access to your study at the same time, without any prioritization.

You can also set this at a project and study level.
