About This Feature

Overview

Gender is a field-setting feature in Smart Forms file collection on WPS Office for Mac. It is used to add, edit, and confirm gender-related options in a form. This helps when you need a standardized field for registration details, profile information, or basic record collection.

Core tasks include:

Open the Gender field entry: go to the form editor, enter File Collection, and locate the Gender setting.
