About This Feature

Overview

Gender is a field-setting feature in the Smart Form File Collect workflow in WPS Office for Windows. It is used when you create or edit a collection form and need to add, adjust, preview, and save a gender-related field.

Core tasks include:

Open the Gender settings entry from the File Collect editor.
Adjust and preview the field settings in the editing panel.
