Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Configure a fill-in-the-blank question in a Smart Forms check-in flow, including entry access, parameter setup, preview, and save. | Microsoft Forms lets users add Text questions to a form and preview the form during creation. | Google Forms supports Short answer and Paragraph questions, with required settings and descriptions. | Notion Forms supports text property questions, Long answer, Required settings, and preview in the form builder. | Adobe Acrobat mainly provides text fields for PDF forms or web forms, with a stronger focus on document forms and signature workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The question entry is placed directly in the Smart Forms check-in workflow, which helps users complete setup and preview in one editing flow. | Compared with WPS: It is designed more as a general online form builder and does not show a dedicated check-in entry in the cited page. | Compared with WPS: Its open-text question types are mature, but the product focus is broader general-purpose forms. | Compared with WPS: Text questions connect closely with databases, while some advanced logic is limited to paid plans. | Compared with WPS: It is closer to PDF or signing field management than a check-in questionnaire editor. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Fill in the Blank Question is a practical fit for users who already build content inside a Smart Forms check-in workflow and want to complete setup, preview, and saving in one place. Microsoft, Google, and Notion all support text-based questions, but they are positioned more as general form tools, while Adobe is closer to PDF form field management.
