Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In Smart Forms on macOS, you can open the Relay module, configure Multiple Choice settings, preview the result, and save the setup. | Microsoft Forms choice questions can allow multiple answers, but the official Q&A page states there is no option to limit how many answers a respondent can select. | Google Forms checkboxes let respondents select multiple answers, and official help also documents rules such as select at least, select at most, or select exactly. | Notion Forms supports multiple choice questions and can connect them to multi-select properties, with maximum selection settings available for some question types. | Adobe Acrobat Sign uses checkbox groups to let recipients select one or more options and supports exact, minimum, maximum, or range-based selection rules. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The setup entry is directly placed in the Smart Forms relay workflow, which is convenient for configuring, previewing, and confirming a multi-select poll in one editing flow. | Compared with WPS: supports multiple answers, but the public guidance is framed as a general form-question setting rather than a relay-style workflow. | Compared with WPS: provides more explicit public guidance for minimum, maximum, and exact selection rules. | Compared with WPS: form responses connect closely with databases, but form creation and customization are documented mainly for desktop and web apps. | Compared with WPS: focuses more on signing and form-field configuration than on relay-style polling workflows. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to configure a multi-select poll directly inside a relay workflow on macOS, WPS provides a straightforward editing path from entry to preview and save. If your priority is detailed public documentation for selection-count rules, Google Forms and Adobe provide more explicit rule-setting references.
Use Cases
