About This Feature
Overview
Single Selection is a setup feature in WPS Office for Windows Smart Forms. It is used in the File Collection workflow to configure a single-choice voting item, adjust related content, and preview the result before finishing the setup. It fits form design scenarios where respondents should choose only one option.
Core tasks include:
- Open the Single Selection entry: go from the form editor to the File Collection module and open Single Selection.
- Set up Single Selection content: edit the question and related settings in the panel.
- Preview and confirm the result: check the display result before finishing the setup.
Common use cases include event registration, preference collection, and single-choice confirmation in file submission workflows. This feature helps creators set up a single-choice item quickly and review the display result before publishing or continuing with the form.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides a Single Selection entry in the Smart Forms File Collection workflow, with editing, parameter setup, and preview before completion. | Microsoft Forms supports Choice questions, lets creators add options, and includes a multiple answers setting; when that setting is off, it can be used for single-choice scenarios. | Google Forms provides Multiple choice questions, where respondents can choose only one option. | Notion Forms supports multiple choice questions and lets users create and customize forms on desktop and web apps. | Adobe Acrobat Sign provides radio button fields for mutually exclusive single-choice selection in online forms. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS keeps the setup flow close to the File Collection editing process, so creators can open the entry, adjust settings, and preview the result in one workflow. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft documents a general quiz and form setup flow, with less emphasis on a file-collection-specific workflow. | Compared with WPS: Google clearly supports one-option responses, but the product focus is broader form and survey creation. | Compared with WPS: Notion connects forms closely with databases, but form creation and customization are limited to desktop and web apps. | Compared with WPS: Adobe uses a dedicated radio button field approach and is more focused on signing and web form field design. |
