About This Feature

Overview

Matrix Scale is a built-in smart forms feature in WPS Office for Windows. It is used to set up matrix-style rating or scale questions in attendance-related forms.

Its main tasks include:

Open the Matrix Scale entry in the form editor.
Set Matrix Scale parameters in the editing panel.
Preview the display result before confirming.
Save the configuration and continue editing the form.

This feature is useful for attendance check-ins, satisfaction collection, recurring feedback, and multi-dimension evaluations. It helps form creators organize several rating items in one question area instead of adding many separate questions.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Matrix Scale entry in the smart forms attendance workflow, with parameter setup, preview, and confirmation in one editing flow.	Microsoft Forms officially documents question types such as Rating, Ranking, and Likert, but the official page does not describe the same dedicated Matrix Scale editing flow.	Google Forms officially documents Linear scale, Rating, Multiple choice grid, and Checkbox grid, which support grid-style rating scenarios.	Notion Forms is connected to databases and supports multiple question types and conditional logic, but the official help page does not describe a native matrix grid scale question.	Adobe Acrobat officially focuses on online web forms, form fields, publishing, and tracking, rather than a native survey-style matrix scale question.
WPS Advantages	Distinct: WPS places Matrix Scale directly in the attendance creation flow on Windows. Advantage: setup, preview, and confirmation are handled in one focused workflow.	Compared with WPS: the official Microsoft description focuses on general question types instead of a dedicated Matrix Scale setup path.	Compared with WPS: Google Forms offers general-purpose grid questions, while WPS is more directly aligned with attendance form configuration.	Compared with WPS: Notion emphasizes database-backed forms and response management, so matrix-style rating scenarios rely on other question structures.	Compared with WPS: Adobe emphasizes document-based forms and signing workflows rather than matrix scale survey configuration.

Overall Conclusion
If your priority is to configure a matrix rating question quickly inside the Windows smart forms attendance workflow, WPS offers a more direct path. If you need broader survey question libraries, database-driven response management, or document-signing workflows, the other products may fit different use cases.
