Select “Tabular" as the question type.
Enter the question prompt in the text editor.
Adjust table dimensions dynamically using the add (plus icon) or remove (garbage can icon) buttons placed at each row and column.
Use the plus (+) and minus (−) icons to add or remove rows and columns dynamically.
Header customization

Default Headers: Enabled by default (e.g., A, B, C for columns; 1, 2, 3 for rows).

Configuring individual cells

Why use tabular or fill-in-a-table questions?
• Allow you to structure answers within a table format, perfect for evaluating skills such as classification, data completion, matching, grammar correction, or computation. • Especially powerful when response cells must align with organized columns and rows, offering both flexibility and clarity for evaluators and test-takers.
