About This Feature
Overview
Multiple Fill-in Blanks is used in the Check-in section of Smart Forms to configure segmented fill-in content for form questions that require structured text responses.
Core tasks include:
- Open the Multiple Fill-in Blanks entry: go from the form editor to the Check-in section and locate this question type.
- Set up and preview Multiple Fill-in Blanks content: adjust settings in the editing panel and review the display result.
- Save and apply the configuration: confirm the settings so the check-in form uses the configured layout.
This feature fits scenarios such as event check-ins, training attendance forms, and structured information collection. It helps form creators organize response content more clearly and reduce repeated editing.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In Smart Forms check-in workflows, WPS provides a Multiple Fill-in Blanks entry that lets you open the editor, adjust settings, preview, and save the result. | Microsoft Forms provides a Text question type in quizzes and forms, with options such as Required and other question settings. | Google Forms provides short answer and paragraph questions, with required settings and response rules. | Notion Forms supports text questions, long answers, descriptions, and required settings, with responses connected to a database. | Adobe Acrobat mainly provides PDF form text fields and field property settings for fillable PDFs rather than check-in style online forms. |
| WPS Advantages | Distinct: the question entry is placed directly in the Smart Forms check-in workflow, which is convenient for check-in-oriented setup and saving. | Compared with WPS: it focuses on general forms and quiz questions, and the official page does not describe a dedicated check-in workflow for segmented fill-in questions. | Compared with WPS: it supports open text responses and validation rules, but the official page does not describe a dedicated check-in module entry. | Compared with WPS: text question setup is flexible, but form creation and customization are documented for desktop and web apps rather than a Mac check-in workflow inside WPS. | Compared with WPS: it is centered on PDF form field editing instead of online check-in form question setup. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main task is configuring segmented fill-in content inside a Smart Forms check-in workflow, WPS offers a more direct path for that scenario. Other products also support text responses or form fields, but their official documentation focuses more on general forms, database-backed forms, or PDF form editing.
