How to manage lists for metadata

Lists are used to support closed-ended metadata fields such as dropdowns, radio buttons, and checkboxes. Instead of having users type in values manually, Lists provide a controlled set of options to choose from, helping ensure consistency, simplify data entry, and improve search and filtering.

Creating a metadata list

  1. In the Assessment Builder interface, hover over the cogs (⚙️) icon in the top-right corner.

  2. Select Lists from the dropdown menu.
