About This Feature
Overview
Single Selection is a Smart Forms feature in WPS Office for Mac that is used to set up a single-choice voting question in the File Collection workflow. It is suitable when respondents should choose only one option.
Core tasks include:
- Open the Single Selection entry: go to the form editor, open File Collection, and find Single Selection.
- Configure the single-choice settings and preview the result: adjust the related settings in the editing panel and check the display.
- Save and apply the setup: confirm the settings so the form collects one selected result per response.
This feature fits scenarios such as event registration, preference collection, and pre-approval routing.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides single-choice voting setup in the Smart Forms File Collection workflow, with an editing entry, parameter setup, preview, and save flow. | Microsoft Forms supports Choice questions with settings such as required, correct answer, and multiple answers; when multiple answers is not enabled, it works as a single-choice question. | Google Forms supports Multiple choice and Dropdown questions, where respondents can choose only one option, and questions can be marked as required. | Notion Forms supports multiple choice questions and can show options as a list or dropdown, with responses connected to database properties. | Adobe Acrobat Sign supports radio button fields for mutually exclusive single-choice input in online forms. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The setup is placed directly in the Smart Forms File Collection workflow, making it convenient to configure, preview, and save in one editing path. | Compared with WPS: It focuses more on general forms and quiz configuration, so file collection workflows depend on the broader form structure. | Compared with WPS: Its single-choice question types are clear, but the product focus is broader questionnaire design. | Compared with WPS: Database-connected forms are flexible, while some advanced conditional logic is limited to paid plans. | Compared with WPS: Single-choice setup relies on separate radio button field configuration and is more oriented to e-signature and PDF form workflows. |
