Manage Answer Types

The Answer Types tab allows you to create and manage Answer Types. The Answer Types are used when creating Field Schemes or adding Answers Types to tasks or Bot Configurations.

Generally, an Answer is a form input field of a special type, but some Answer Types are more complex blocks, for example, Information Extraction or Taxonomy.

To manage Answer Types, go to System Settings > Answer Types.

Changes to Answer Types affect all tasks that use those Answers.
