Capability Summary	Provides a Candidate Information entry inside Forms exam scenarios, so you can configure parameters, preview the result, and confirm settings during exam creation.	Microsoft Forms lets you control who can respond, record names, limit one response per person, and manage quiz-specific settings.	Google Forms can turn a form into a quiz, collect email addresses, and manage grading release and respondent settings.	Notion Forms can capture respondent details through Respondent or Created by properties and also supports anonymous responses.	Adobe Acrobat web forms focus on collecting form responses and e-signature information, with a workflow centered more on signing and response collection.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The Candidate Information entry is placed directly in the Exam module, which keeps setup, preview, and confirmation in one exam-focused flow.	Compared with WPS: stronger emphasis on responder permissions, organization identity, and quiz response controls.
