| Data type | Compatible methods | Description |
|-|-|-|
| Attachment | Assessment | On questionnaires, users attach one or more files to a question. |
| Checkbox | Assessment | On questionnaires, users select a check box next to a statement or leave it cleared.Abbildung : 1. Check box ![Check box]() Set the Scale definition field to High if a selected check box equates to a good score. |
| Choice | Assessment | On questionnaires, users select a value from a list of custom answer options. Create a metric definition for each answer option.Abbildung : 2. Choice |
| Date | Assessment | On questionnaires, users select a date.Abbildung : 3. Date |
| Date/Time | Assessment | On questionnaires, users select a date and time.Abbildung : 4. Date/Time |
| Duration | Script | When the script runs, the system populates the Duration value and Scaled value fields on the Metric Result form with the appropriate values from the <var class="keyword varname">actual_result</var> and <var class="keyword varname">scaled_result</var> variables in the metric script. |
| Likert Scale | Assessment | On questionnaires, users select a value from a custom scale of answer options. Create a metric definition for each answer option, which is represented by a radio button on the scale. A Likert scale metric that evaluates an application's ease of use might have the metric definitions Easy, Average, and Difficult. If you want to reuse a series of answer options for multiple metrics, create a metric template and use the Template data type instead of the Likert Scale data type.Abbildung : 5. Likert Scale |
| Number | Assessment, Script | Assessment: On questionnaires, users enter a number. Abbildung : 6. Number Script: When the script runs, the system populates the Actual value and Scaled value fields on the [Metric Result](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/c~48fVR4Oq026V_valo4bg "Metric results contain values that represent an evaluated record's performance for a specific metric, based on a single evaluation from one user or from the execution of a script. Metric results contain actual values as well as calculated values. The system uses values from metric results to calculate category results.") form with the appropriate values from the <var class="keyword varname">actual_result</var> and <var class="keyword varname">scaled_result</var> variables in the metric script. |
| Percentage | Assessment, Script | Assessment On questionnaires, users enter a number.Abbildung : 7. Percentage Script When the script runs, the system populates the Actual value and Scaled value fields on the Metric Result form with the appropriate values from the <var class="keyword varname">actual_result</var> and <var class="keyword varname">scaled_result</var> variables in the metric script. |

| Yes/No | Assessment | On questionnaires, users select Yes or No from a list. Abbildung : 11. Yes/No Set the Scale definition field to High if selecting Yes equates to a better score. |
