About This Feature
Overview
Scale Question is a question-type setup feature in Smart Form Relay in WPS Office for Mac. It is used to add a measurable rating question to a form so you can collect satisfaction scores, preference levels, and other graded feedback.
Core tasks include:
- Open the Scale Question entry: go to the Relay module in the form editor and find Scale Question.
- Configure the Scale Question content: set the question text and related options in the editing panel.
- Preview the Scale Question result: check how the question appears before confirming it.
- Save the Scale Question setup: confirm the settings and keep them for later form publishing.
This feature is useful for event feedback, course evaluations, service satisfaction surveys, and internal opinion collection.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides a Scale Question entry in Smart Form Relay, with editing, option setup, preview, and save steps in one workflow. | Microsoft Forms supports Rating and Likert question types in quizzes and forms. | Google Forms supports Linear scale and Rating question types, with configurable scale ranges and icons. | Notion Forms lets you add questions, mark them required, and preview forms in a database-connected workflow, but the official page does not name a native scale-question type separately. | Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF form collection, import, and export workflows, and the official page does not describe a native online scale-question flow. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the Scale Question entry sits directly in the Relay editing flow, which helps you configure, preview, and save in the same form-editing context. | Compared with WPS: rating features are clearly supported, but the official guidance is centered on general form and quiz creation. | Compared with WPS: scale ranges and icons are described more explicitly, but the workflow is still presented as a general form-question setup. | Compared with WPS: the product emphasizes database-connected forms and form building, so the scale-question scenario is less direct in the official description. | Compared with WPS: the workflow is more focused on PDF form data handling than on relay-style rating-question setup. |
