About This Feature

Overview

Handwritten Signature is a configuration feature in the Relay module of the Smart Forms editor in WPS Office for Mac. It is used to add and manage handwritten signature items in a relay workflow. Form creators can open the form editing view, go to the Relay module, find the Handwritten Signature entry, and complete setup, preview, and save actions in one editing flow.

Core tasks include:

Open the Handwritten Signature entry to start configuration in the form editor.
Set options and preview the Handwritten Signature result before confirming.
Save the Handwritten Signature configuration so the current setup is retained.

This feature fits scenarios such as registration confirmation, on-site record keeping, and lightweight approval collection.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In the Smart Forms editor, WPS provides a Handwritten Signature item directly inside the Relay workflow, with setup, preview, and save actions in the same flow.	Microsoft Forms officially supports file upload questions for responders, but the official page does not describe a native handwritten signature field.	Google Forms official developer documentation shows editor add-ons and lists native question types, but does not show a native signature field for responders.	Notion Forms can create and configure form questions connected to databases, but the official help page does not describe a native handwritten signature field.	Adobe Acrobat provides fill-and-sign workflows for PDF documents, which are suited to signing PDF files rather than configuring relay-style forms.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the Handwritten Signature entry is part of the Relay configuration flow on macOS. Distinct: setup, preview, and save can be completed in one editing path.	Compared with WPS: official documentation confirms file upload support, but not a native signature field in Forms.	Compared with WPS: official documentation confirms editor extensibility through add-ons, but native responder question types do not include signature.	Compared with WPS: official documentation focuses on database-connected forms and conditional logic, but not a native signature field.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat focuses on PDF signing workflows instead of relay-based form configuration.

Overall Conclusion
If you need to configure a handwritten signature step directly inside a Smart Forms relay workflow on macOS, WPS is closer to that workflow. The official capabilities of the compared products are centered more on file uploads, editor extensions, database forms, or PDF signing, so their use cases are different from relay configuration.
