Capability Summary	In Smart Forms on Windows, you can open the User Name item in a relay scenario, adjust related settings, preview the result, and confirm the setup.	Microsoft Forms can record a responder's name through Only people in my organization can respond together with Record name. For public external forms, a separate name question is often needed.	Google Forms can collect responder email addresses and also lets creators add a separate name question manually. Official guidance focuses on email collection and access control.	Notion Forms automatically creates a Respondent property to capture names, and form sharing settings can also allow anonymous responses.	Adobe Acrobat Sign can require a recipient name when configuring agreements or web forms, which fits signing and controlled form workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The User Name entry is part of the relay editing flow on Windows, so setup, preview, and confirmation stay in one path. Distinct: This is convenient when you want to configure a name field while building a relay form.	Compared with WPS: identity capture is more dependent on response settings, and automatic name recording has more limits for public external forms.	Compared with WPS: official guidance emphasizes email collection rather than a dedicated built-in name configuration path, so creators often need to design an extra question.	Compared with WPS: database integration is stronger, but some creation and customization work is centered on desktop and web apps.	Compared with WPS: it is more oriented to signing, agreement, and controlled collection workflows than relay-style name collection.
