About This Feature

Overview

The Fill in the Blank Question feature in WPS Smart Forms is used to collect short text responses in a check-in form workflow. In the form editor, you can open the check-in section, add a fill-in-the-blank question, adjust its settings, preview the result, and save the configuration.

This feature fits scenarios such as attendance check-ins, information collection, classroom exercises, and event feedback, where organizers need a structured way to gather short written responses.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In Smart Forms, you can open the check-in module, configure a fill-in-the-blank question, preview it, save it, and continue with response collection.	Microsoft Forms supports Text questions in forms and quizzes for typed responses.	Google Forms supports Short answer questions for one-line text responses, with required and validation options.	Notion Forms supports text questions and can allow Long answer for text properties.	Adobe Acrobat web forms support text fields for online form collection, but the workflow is centered more on web forms and signing fields than questionnaire-style question editing.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the entry is tied closely to the Smart Forms check-in editing flow, which is convenient for check-in-based form setup. Distinct: question setup, preview, and save steps stay in one continuous workflow.	Compared with WPS: text questions are available, but the official guidance is broader and focuses on general form or quiz creation.	Compared with WPS: short answer questions are clear and flexible for general surveys, while check-in-specific structure is assembled manually.	Compared with WPS: text questions connect closely with databases, and form creation is documented for desktop and web, while mobile creation has limits.	Compared with WPS: better aligned with signing and field collection workflows than with check-in question design.

Overall Conclusion: If your main goal is to configure a fill-in-the-blank question directly inside a check-in workflow, WPS offers a more direct editing path. If you need a broader survey builder, database-linked forms, or signing-focused web forms, the alternatives emphasize different strengths.
