About This Feature

Overview

Matrix Question is one of the form question types in WPS Office for Windows. It helps you organize multiple options in rows and columns within one question so you can collect structured feedback more efficiently.

Its main tasks include:

Open the Matrix Question entry in the form editor.
Adjust the question content and related settings.
Preview how the matrix question will appear.
Save and apply the final configuration.

This feature fits scenarios such as satisfaction surveys, course feedback, project reviews, and multi-dimensional questionnaires. A matrix layout can reduce repeated question blocks and make the response structure easier to review before publishing.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Matrix Question entry in the smart form editor, with steps for editing, setting parameters, previewing, and saving.	Microsoft Forms provides a Likert question type that uses rows and columns for scale-based responses, which is the closest official matrix-style option.	Google Forms provides multiple choice grid and checkbox grid questions with row and column setup, required-per-row options, and column limits.	Notion Forms is built on database properties and supports multiple question types and conditional logic, but its official help page does not describe a native matrix question type.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF form fields such as lists and date fields, and its official tutorials do not show a native survey matrix builder.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps matrix question setup, preview, and saving in one editing flow, which is convenient for quick question configuration.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official matrix-style option is centered on Likert scale surveys.	Compared with WPS: Google documents grid rules more explicitly and separates single-choice and multi-choice grid types.	Compared with WPS: Notion emphasizes database-backed forms and response management, while matrix-style questions are not clearly documented as a native type.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is better aligned with PDF form field editing than survey-style matrix question setup.

Overall Conclusion
If your priority is to configure, preview, and save a matrix-style question within one focused editing flow, WPS offers a straightforward path. Google Forms provides more explicitly documented grid rules, while Notion and Adobe are better suited to database-driven forms and PDF form workflows respectively.
