Capability Summary	In Smart Forms attendance scenarios, WPS provides a Name setting entry for editing, adjusting related options, previewing, and saving.	Microsoft Forms can record responder identity with the Record name option and control who can respond to a form.	Google Forms can collect identity through collected email addresses or a required short-answer question, and supports preview before sharing.	Notion Forms automatically creates a Respondent property to capture names and can also allow anonymous responses.	Adobe Acrobat Sign web forms can require recipient names as part of agreement or web form configuration.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The name setting is placed directly in the attendance form workflow, which is convenient for check-in scenarios. Advantage: Editing, previewing, and saving stay in one setup path.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft Forms focuses more on organization-based identity recording and response permissions.	Compared with WPS: identity collection often depends on email collection or an extra question design.	Compared with WPS: name capture is tied more closely to database properties and broader workspace workflows.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses more on signing and agreement workflows than lightweight attendance forms.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Name Settings in Smart Forms fit everyday attendance and sign-in workflows well because the name configuration is part of the same editing path used to build the form.
