Yes/no tables

Use a yes/no table when each row asks the same question of two or more options, and most answers are Yes or No. For a table of plain facts, use an ordinary table.

How cells are marked

The first column holds the row labels and stays as it is. In the other columns:

  • a cell that says exactly Yes gets a green disc with a tick;
  • a cell that says exactly No gets a red disc with a cross;
  • any other text (Only pseudonymised, Ask first) gets an amber half-filled ring, for a conditional answer;
  • an empty cell stays empty.

The word stays next to the icon, so the table still reads correctly without colour and with a screen reader. Keep conditional answers short: the detail belongs in the text under the table.
