About This Feature
Overview
Multiple Selections is a built-in configuration feature in Smart Forms on WPS Office for Mac. It is used in the Check-in module to set up and manage segmented selection content during form creation. After you save the settings, and publish a new version when needed, the updated configuration can be applied to later responses.
Core tasks include:
- Open the Multiple Selections entry in the Check-in module.
- Configure related settings and preview the result.

This feature is suitable for attendance forms, event check-ins, recurring sign-in workflows, and forms that need grouped options by date or department.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides a Multiple Selections entry inside the Check-in workflow of Smart Forms, where you can configure settings, preview the result, and save the setup in the editor. | Microsoft Forms supports choice questions and branching logic, so answers can route respondents to later questions or sections. | Google Forms supports multiple choice, checkboxes, dropdowns, and section routing based on answers. | Notion Forms supports multiple choice, multi-select-linked properties, and conditional logic connected to databases. | Adobe Acrobat Sign supports public web forms with participant flow and signature field setup, with a stronger focus on signing and submission workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The Multiple Selections entry is built directly into the Check-in configuration flow, which helps you finish setup, preview, and saving in one editing interface. | Compared with WPS: It focuses more on general survey branching, so a check-in workflow usually needs to be assembled from question logic. | Compared with WPS: It works well for general-purpose forms and section routing, but it offers fewer check-in-specific configuration cues. | Compared with WPS: Database integration is flexible, but conditional logic is limited to Business and Enterprise plans. | Compared with WPS: It is oriented more toward signing-focused web forms than check-in configuration. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Multiple Selections is more closely aligned with a check-in setup workflow inside Smart Forms, which makes it practical for users who want to configure options in one editor. Microsoft, Google, and Notion are stronger as general-purpose form builders, while Adobe is more suitable for signing-oriented web form scenarios.
