# Employee Sentiment Settings

In the Employee Sentiment **Settings** page, you can apply global settings that affect all surveys.

## Surveys settings

### Exclude devices or users

If you add a group of devices or users to this exclusion list, then that group will **never** receive any surveys, even if you create a survey that specifically targets a group of devices or users on the exclusion list.

### Survey intervals

To prevent users from being receiving too many surveys within a short interval of time, you can use these settings to set the minimum required duration between surveys. For example, in the following screenshot, the interval of 24 hours means that a user can receive a maximum of one scheduled (**Single** or **Recurring**) survey per 24 hour period.

The minimum required interval between **On Demand** surveys is controlled separately. For example, in the following screenshot, a user can receive different On Demand surveys every 5 minutes, but a user can receive the same On Demand survey only once per 24 hour period.

### Custom Font

If you want to use a font for a survey other than a device's system font or one of the preconfigured fonts in the survey template wizard, then you can add a custom font here.

You can set a different font for Windows and macOS. Note that the font name you enter must exactly match the name of a font that is installed on a device. If the font is not installed on a device, then the survey will default to the system font.

## Categories settings

Use the categories settings to add or remove Template categories. For details about how Template categories are used, [click here](https://support.controlup.com/docs/survey-library#2-choose-a-survey-category).
