While offering a wide range of answer types there are times when you might need to build your own answer type to meet a specific business case. ngSurvey allows your to create new answer types with or without programming knowledge.
You may create following types of answer types.
Custom fields with your own custom javascript validation code.
Data source lists of items to create lists that are build using a collection of text / value based items. Those lists can be build either from scratch or you may re-use existing data from a JSON REST API endpoint or from a Microsoft SQL Server database table.
Widgets to create a powerful javascript, html and css based answer types. Using widgets you may develop almost any kind of functionality that you would miss in ngSurvey to collect data.
To create a new answer type you may click on the + icon to open the answer editing interface to add your type.
New answer types can only be used and seen by the account that creates them.
