Create your own custom metric type if you don't find the metric type that you want in
Survey Designer while designing surveys.

## Antes de Iniciar

Role required: survey_admin, survey_creator, or admin

## Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

You can use the Custom Metric Type module for surveys to create the custom metric
type. If you set the custom metric type using the Now Mobile app, ensure
that the widgets support the current theme of Mobile Employee Service Portal.

## Procedimento

1. Navigate to AllSurveyAdministrationCustom Metric Type.
2. On the Custom Metrics page, click New.
3. On the Custom Metric form, fill in the fields.  
   For a description of the field values, see [Custom Metric form](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/MBfw880xyA4PkAnxe3ojGQ "Description of the field values for the Custom Metric form.").
4. Select Submit.  
   Nota:  
   * Updating or deleting existing values in the Macro, Widget, and Result type fields might cause inconsistent effects.
   * The custom metric type that you created doesn't appear for the public surveys. To make it visible for the public surveys, open the Service Portal configuration and configure your survey widget to make it public. For more information about configuring widget security, see [Configure
     widget security](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=configure-widget-security&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-user-interface&ft:locale=en-US).
   * If the custom metric type is inactive or deleted, the question is not rendered on the survey form.
   * If the value in the Macro or Widget field is updated, the updated value is used to render a survey form even if an instance was created before updating the values for macros or widgets.
