About This Feature
Overview
Multiple Selections is used in the Check-in module of Smart Forms to configure segmented selection content. It helps form creators set up grouped options, preview the result, and save the configuration for later use.
Its core tasks include:
- Open the Multiple Selections entry: go to the Check-in module in the form editor and open the related setting.
- Configure and preview settings: adjust the available parameters in the panel and review the display result.
- Save and apply the configuration: confirm the setup so the check-in flow uses the current settings.
This feature is useful for attendance check-ins, event sign-ins, and staged data collection where one form needs organized selection content for different time periods or steps.

| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides a Multiple Selections entry inside the Check-in module of the Smart Forms editor, where you can open the panel, adjust settings, preview the result, and save the configuration. | Microsoft Forms supports branching for questions or sections so respondents can move to different follow-up questions or sections based on answers. | Google Forms supports sending respondents to specific sections based on answers for multiple-choice and dropdown questions. | Notion Forms connects forms to databases and supports conditional logic for multiple-choice questions; form creation and customization are handled on desktop and web apps. | Adobe Acrobat Sign supports field conditions that can show, hide, enable, or disable fields based on other field values. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The setup entry is grouped inside the Check-in workflow, which is convenient for check-in form configuration. Distinct: You can adjust settings and preview the result before confirming the change. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft emphasizes branching between questions and sections in survey flows. | Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes answer-based section routing and limits this setup to specific question types. | Compared with WPS: Notion is tightly connected to databases, but conditional logic is limited to Business and Enterprise plans. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on field-level conditions rather than section-style form flow configuration. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Multiple Selections is a practical fit for users who already build check-in flows in Smart Forms and want one place to configure, preview, and save segmented selections. If your priority is survey branching, database-connected forms, or field-level conditional behavior, the other platforms may better match those specific workflows.
