Adding matrix field

This option lets you create a matrix-style field for more complex data input.

For all for those types you can add a description, and specify which elements or definitions in your assessment the field will affect.

Fields are setup by assessments, meaning you can customize fields for each assessment’s needs. However, you cannot have two fields with the same name within an assessment.
