About This Feature

Overview

User Name is a field setup feature in the file collection scenario of WPS Smart Forms on macOS. It is used to record the submitter's name and works together with file uploads in one collection flow.

Core tasks include:

Open the User Name setup entry in the form editor.
Adjust User Name field settings based on the current form.

Capability Summary	In Smart Forms file collection, WPS provides a direct User Name setup entry so you can open the field, adjust settings, preview, and confirm in the editor.	Microsoft Forms supports file upload questions with limits for file count, size, and type. Name collection is usually added as a separate text question.	Google Forms supports both short answer and file upload question types, so names and files can be collected through separate questions, with uploaded files stored in Google Drive.	Notion Forms automatically creates a `Respondent` property to capture respondent names, and form questions stay connected to database properties.	Adobe Acrobat web forms let you enter a Web Form Name and collect information through document-based fields, but the workflow is more focused on signing and document processing.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps the name-field setup close to the file collection flow in one editor path. Distinct: the entry is more direct for quick name-and-file collection setup on macOS.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses more on upload-question controls, while the name field is usually configured separately.	Compared with WPS: Google combines multiple question types to collect names and files, so the setup path is more distributed.	Compared with WPS: Notion captures respondent names automatically, but form creation and customization are centered on desktop and web apps.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is better aligned with document-signing web forms than lightweight file collection field setup.

Overall Conclusion: If your main goal is to set up a name field quickly inside a file collection workflow, WPS offers a more direct editing path. Other products can also collect names and files, but they often rely on separate question types or a more document-signing-oriented workflow.
