About This Feature
Overview
Selection is a built-in setup feature in WPS Smart Form on Windows for configuring voting and option-selection steps inside a relay workflow. It is useful when you need to prepare candidate options, adjust selection settings, and confirm the setup before publishing.
Core capabilities include:
- Open the Selection entry from the relay area in the form editor.
- Adjust voting-related settings and preview the result in the setup panel.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Selection lets you configure voting and option-selection steps directly inside a Smart Form relay workflow, including entry access, parameter setup, and saving. | Microsoft Forms supports poll types such as Rating Poll and Ranking Poll in Teams meetings. | Google Forms offers question types such as Rating and Multiple choice grid, which can be combined for rating or ranking-style collection. | Notion Forms connects form questions to database properties so responses can be collected and managed in the same workspace. | Adobe Acrobat focuses on distributing PDF forms, collecting returned responses, and exporting form data. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS keeps selection setup inside the same Smart Form relay editing flow, which helps reduce tool switching during form preparation. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft is more centered on meeting polls and Forms or Teams collaboration flows. | Compared with WPS: Google provides flexible question types, but ranking-style collection relies more on question design than on a dedicated voting setup flow. | Compared with WPS: Notion emphasizes database-connected forms, and voting scenarios usually depend on database design or adjacent workflows. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is stronger for PDF form collection and export, rather than live voting setup inside a form-building flow. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Selection is a practical fit when you are already building a Smart Form relay workflow and want to complete voting setup in the same editing path. If your main need is meeting polling, general surveys, or PDF form collection, the other products provide workflows designed around those priorities.
