The table columns are:

- Not specified: The question is not mandatory.
- Specified: The question has to be filled in by respondents.
- Not relevant: The attribute Mandatory cannot be edited (e.g., text display questions).
- Other: It refers to attribute Other. If enabled, another answer option will be displayed alongside the ones defined by you. Three options can be displayed in the table:
- Not specified: The question does not have the attribute Other enabled (no "other" answer option will be displayed alongside your defined answers).
- Specified: If specified, option Other is active. This means that an other answer option will be displayed alongside your defined question answers.
- Not relevant: Certain questions do not allow you to enable the Other option (such as text display or free text question types).
