About This Feature
Overview
Matrix Question is a built-in question-type feature in WPS Office for Windows within Smart Form relay workflows. It helps you organize structured responses in rows and columns under one question.
Core tasks include:
- Open the Matrix Question entry: go to the form editor, open the relay module, and locate Matrix Question.
- Configure Matrix Question settings: adjust the related options in the editing panel.
- Preview and confirm the result: check the display before finishing the setup.
Common use cases include event registration, feedback collection, and item-based scoring.
It helps reduce repeated single-question setup and keeps multi-dimensional options easier to review.
For users looking for a matrix question setup in WPS on Windows, this workflow keeps editing and preview in one place.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides a Matrix Question entry in Smart Form relay workflows for setup, preview, and confirmation. | Microsoft Forms offers a Likert layout as the closest similar built-in option, but the official Microsoft answer does not describe the same matrix text-question capability. | Google Forms provides native multiple choice grid and checkbox grid question types for row-and-column responses. | Notion Forms is built around database properties and common question types, and the official help page does not describe a native matrix or grid question type. | Adobe Acrobat web forms focus on fillable and signable web forms, and the official help page does not describe a survey-style matrix question type. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: Matrix Question is placed directly in the relay editing flow, so setup and preview stay in one editing path. | Compared with WPS: the official Microsoft content points to Likert as the closest layout, which is narrower than a matrix text-question workflow. | Compared with WPS: Google Forms has native grid questions, while WPS keeps this feature inside its Smart Form relay editing flow. | Compared with WPS: Notion emphasizes database-connected forms and workflow collection rather than a clearly documented matrix question type. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is oriented more toward signing and business web forms than questionnaire matrix setup. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to configure relay questions inside WPS Smart Form on Windows, Matrix Question fits that workflow directly. Google Forms offers clearer native grid question support, while Notion and Adobe are better aligned with database-backed forms or business web-form scenarios.
