Recipe notes
The worksheet divides elements into four categories: Text, Checkboxes, Dropdowns, and Radio Buttons.
Some text boxes expect numeric characters, as noted in parentheses.
Checkboxes can be considered as a yes or no question. For instance: Provide Page View is the Views shorthand for "Do you want to provide a page view?"
Some of the drop-down boxes allow you to select more than one element.
Radio buttons are mutually exclusive.
