About This Feature

Overview

Gender is a configuration item in Smart Forms in WPS Office for Mac. It is used to add, adjust, and save gender-related options while editing a form. After you enter the form editor, you can open the Form section, find Gender, and complete setup, preview, and confirmation in the editing panel.

Core tasks include:

Open the Gender setup entry in the form editor.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In the Smart Form editor, WPS provides a Gender entry that lets you open the Form section, adjust settings, preview the result, and confirm the change.	Microsoft Forms supports Choice questions, adding options, required settings, and a drop-down display mode.	Google Forms supports multiple choice and dropdown questions, custom options, and an Other option for single-choice collection.	Notion Forms connects questions to database properties and supports multiple choice questions shown as a list or dropdown.	Adobe Acrobat Sign supports radio buttons for predefined single-choice options such as gender.
WPS Advantages	Distinct: The Gender entry is part of the Smart Form editing flow, so setup and review stay in one editing context. Advantage: The source workflow focuses on open, set, preview, and confirm in one place.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft emphasizes general web form building and question-type management in its public Forms guidance.	Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes browser-based form building, question types, and response branching.	Compared with WPS: Notion relies on database properties to structure forms, and form creation or customization is limited to desktop and web apps.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on signing workflows and PDF field authoring rather than a smart form editor inside an office suite.

Overall Conclusion
If you already build forms inside WPS Smart Forms, the Gender field keeps the setup flow focused in one editor. Other products also support single-choice fields, but they are centered on web forms, database-backed forms, or PDF signing workflows.
