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.

Core tasks include:
- Open the Single Selection entry from the check-in module in the form editor.

| Capability Summary | In Smart Forms check-in scenarios, WPS provides a Single Selection voting entry where you can open the editor, configure settings, preview the result, and confirm the setup. | Microsoft Forms provides a Choice question type and lets creators decide whether a question allows multiple answers. | Google Forms provides Multiple choice and Dropdown question types where respondents can choose only one option. | Notion Forms supports multiple choice questions and lets creators show options as a list or dropdown; form creation and customization are handled on desktop and web apps. | Adobe Acrobat Sign provides radio button fields for online forms when only one option should be selected from a set. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS keeps the entry, setup, preview, and confirmation flow inside the Smart Forms check-in workflow on macOS. Distinct: It fits check-in and voting scenarios that need a one-answer response path. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses on general-purpose quizzes and surveys, and the same question type can be switched to multiple answers. | Compared with WPS: Google separates single-answer and multi-answer question types clearly for standard form collection. | Compared with WPS: Notion connects forms closely with databases, but creating and customizing forms is limited to desktop and web apps. | Compared with WPS: Adobe centers this capability on PDF and e-sign form fields rather than a check-in form workflow. |
