About This Feature

Overview

Cross Analysis is a configuration feature in the Smart Form relay workflow of WPS Office for Windows. It is used to set up and manage cross-analysis content while editing a form. It fits workflows where you need to organize analysis dimensions during relay creation, preview the result, and then confirm the setup.

Core tasks include:

Open the Cross Analysis entry: go from the form editor to the Relay module and open Cross Analysis.
Configure Cross Analysis settings: adjust the related options in the pop-up panel.
Preview and confirm the result: review the effect before completing the action.

Common use cases include event registration relays, information collection relays, and form setups that need condition-based result review.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Cross Analysis entry inside the Relay module of the Smart Form editor, where you can configure settings, preview the result, and confirm the setup.	Microsoft Forms supports branching for questions or sections so a form can move respondents to later questions or end the form based on answers.	Google Forms supports answer-based routing to different sections, which is useful for controlling follow-up question paths.	Notion Forms connects forms with databases, supports question setup, and offers conditional logic on Business and Enterprise plans.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF form creation, distribution, and data collection, centered on fillable PDF forms rather than relay analysis setup.
WPS Advantages	Distinct: The Cross Analysis entry is part of the relay configuration flow, making it practical to set up, preview, and confirm in one editing interface.	Compared with WPS: Focuses on question or section branching, and the official guidance notes that branching only goes to later questions rather than a relay analysis setup flow.	Compared with WPS: Focuses on section routing for surveys, with less emphasis on analysis configuration inside the editing flow.	Compared with WPS: Strong database-connected form workflows, but conditional logic is limited to Business and Enterprise plans.	Compared with WPS: Focuses more on PDF form creation and collection than on relay analysis configuration.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to configure, preview, and confirm cross-analysis settings directly during relay creation, WPS is closer to that workflow. The other products focus more on survey branching, database-backed forms, or PDF form collection, so their usage patterns are not the same as Cross Analysis in a relay setup.
