Answer types can be either open-ended or closed-ended, and can be used to help guide users to provide the most accurate and relevant answers. 
  
  How to use it: 
  When creating a question in SAP ASAP, you will be asked to select an answer type. Open-ended answer types allow users to provide any type of response, while closed-ended answer types require users to select from a list of predetermined answers. Depending on the type of question you are asking, you should select the appropriate answer type to ensure that users are providing the most accurate and relevant answers. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When selecting an answer type, consider the complexity of the question and the type of response you are expecting from users. If you are asking a complex question that requires a detailed response, an open-ended answer type may be more appropriate. If you are asking a simple question that requires a straightforward response, a closed-ended answer type may be more suitable.
