About This Feature

Overview

Multiple Selections is a built-in smart form feature in WPS Office for macOS that helps route respondents to different sections based on what they choose. In the form editor, you can open Form > Multiple Selections, adjust related settings, preview the result, and then confirm the setup.

Core tasks include:

  • Open the Multiple Selections entry in the form editor.
  • Configure related parameters and preview the result.
  • Save the setup and check whether later responses follow the updated logic.

This feature is useful for survey routing, role-based form paths, and pre-publish logic checks.
