Creating New Type

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.
