Confused about Employer Tuition Assistance

I took one class in 2022. I received a 1098-T showing how much the tuition was (Box 1). This tuition was covered by my employer, and it was considered to be a scholarship/grant (Box 5). This makes sense with the billing and the employee assistance program (yes, I work for a university, and this is part of their employee assistance program to help employees to take classes; I guess their program for this type of thing is considered to be a scholarship/grant). 

 

After I imported my 1098-T, it asks a question about employee tuition assistance. Is this part for assistance that has NOT been reported on my 1098-T? It says to enter amount not already listed on a 1098-T, but I just wanted to make sure. Since the tuition was covered by my employer's program and has been reported in box 5 of 1098-T, I should just put $0 in the corresponding box, right?
