About This Feature

Overview

Single Selection is a configuration option in the Smart Forms check-in module of WPS for Mac. It is used to create a voting item where respondents can choose only one answer. From the form editor, you can open the setting entry, adjust related options, preview the result, and confirm the configuration.

Core tasks include:

  • Open the Single Selection entry from the check-in module in the form editor.
  • Configure the related settings for the voting item.
  • Preview and confirm the final display before continuing.

This feature works well for event check-ins, preference collection, and other scenarios where each respondent should submit only one option.
