About This Feature

Overview

Handwritten Signature is a setup feature in WPS Office Smart Forms on macOS for check-in scenarios. It lets you add a signature item during form editing, preview the result, and save the configuration to the current form.

Core tasks include:

Open the Handwritten Signature entry: go to the check-in module in the form editor and find Handwritten Signature.
Set up and preview the signature configuration: adjust related settings in the panel and review the result.
Save and apply the configuration: confirm the settings so the form can use them in later submissions.

This feature fits attendance check-ins, event sign-ins, on-site confirmations, and other form scenarios that need a signature record.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Handwritten Signature setup entry in the Check-in module of Smart Forms, with editing, setting adjustment, preview, and save actions in one flow.	Microsoft Forms supports file upload questions, which can collect uploaded signature files, but the official support page does not describe a native handwritten signature question.	Google's official eSignature feature is designed for Google Docs and PDFs in Drive, and the official page does not describe a native handwritten signature field in Google Forms.	Notion Forms can create and share forms and store responses in databases, but the official help page does not describe a native handwritten signature field.	Adobe Acrobat Sign supports signable web forms and lets authors place signature fields for signers.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps handwritten signature setup inside the Smart Forms editing flow for check-in scenarios. Distinct: setup, preview, and save are handled in one editing path.	Compared with WPS: the official workflow is closer to collecting uploaded files, so signature capture depends on a workaround rather than a native signature field.	Compared with WPS: the official signature workflow is centered on document signing rather than handwritten signature setup inside a form field.	Compared with WPS: the official form workflow focuses on question types and database-connected responses, without a documented native signature input.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is better aligned with formal signing workflows for web forms, while WPS is closer to check-in configuration inside Smart Forms.

Overall Conclusion

If you want to configure handwritten signatures directly inside a Smart Forms check-in workflow, WPS offers a more focused editing path. If your priority is a formal document-signing process, Adobe and Google's official signing features are closer to that use case.
