Matrix

  • What is it? A table of x rows by y columns, where each cell contains a text field. Row and column headings are configurable. It is also possible to add a total row, to add up values entered in each numerical column.
  • When should I use it? When you need the customer to provide lots of similar information in a number of categories.
  • Example scenarios: 'Your income details', 'What do you receive in benefits?'.
