About This Feature

Overview

Matrix Scale is a built-in configuration feature in the Smart Forms editor of WPS Office for Mac. It is used in check-in scenarios for ratings, satisfaction surveys, and multi-dimensional feedback collection.

Its main tasks include:

Open the Matrix Scale entry: go from the form editor to the check-in module and locate Matrix Scale.
Set Matrix Scale parameters: adjust question content and related settings in the editing panel.
Preview and confirm the setup: review the display result before confirming the configuration.

This feature is suitable for scenarios where multiple evaluation items and one shared scale need to appear in the same question, making structured feedback easier to collect.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Matrix Scale provides a dedicated entry in Smart Forms check-in scenarios, where you can open the editor, adjust settings, preview the result, and confirm the configuration.	Microsoft Forms supports question types such as Likert, Rating, Ranking, and File upload for surveys and feedback collection.	Google Forms supports Linear scale, Rating, and Multiple choice grid for single-score or grouped rating scenarios.	Notion Forms lets users create forms connected to databases and configure multiple question types for structured data collection.	Adobe Acrobat web forms focus on publishing online forms, collecting responses, and supporting signing workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps the Matrix Scale workflow inside the Smart Forms check-in path, so setup, preview, and confirmation can be completed in one focused editing flow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft Forms offers broader general-purpose survey question types, but the official page does not show a dedicated check-in-specific Matrix Scale entry.	Compared with WPS: Google Forms provides scale and grid question types, but they are configured through a general form-building flow rather than a check-in-specific entry.	Compared with WPS: Notion Forms is closely tied to databases, while its official help notes that creating and customizing forms is not available on mobile devices.	Compared with WPS: Adobe Acrobat web forms are oriented more toward web publishing and e-sign workflows than a dedicated Matrix Scale setup inside a check-in editor.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Matrix Scale is a practical fit for users who already build Smart Forms check-in workflows and want a concentrated setup path. Microsoft and Google provide broader general survey scale options, Notion emphasizes database-connected forms, and Adobe focuses more on online form publishing and signing workflows.
