About This Feature

Overview

Matrix Question is a question type in Smart Forms in WPS Office for macOS. It helps you organize multiple evaluation items or options in one question with rows and columns, so structured feedback can be collected more clearly.

Core tasks include:

Open the Matrix Question entry: go to the form editor and find the Matrix Question option.
Configure Matrix Question content: set the related question options based on the interface.
Preview the Matrix Question result: check whether the display matches your needs before saving.
Save the Matrix Question setup: confirm the settings and continue form design.

This feature is useful for rating surveys, satisfaction questionnaires, course feedback, and other scenarios that need multiple dimensions in one question.

Capability Summary	Provides a Matrix Question entry in the Smart Forms editing flow, with setup, preview, and confirmation steps.	Microsoft Forms provides a Likert question where scale options are columns and statements are rows.	Google Forms provides multiple choice grid and checkbox grid question types with row and column setup rules.	Notion Forms supports form creation, question editing, and database-connected responses, but the official help page does not describe a native matrix question type.

Overall Conclusion

If you want a direct matrix-style question setup path inside a Mac form editor, WPS keeps the workflow focused on opening, configuring, previewing, and confirming the question. Other products may be a better fit when your priority is grid rule depth, database-connected workflows, or PDF form publishing.
