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.

| WPS Advantages | Distinct: the setup flow stays inside the form editing process, so you can open the feature, configure it, preview it, and save it in one place. | Compared with WPS, branching direction is limited by Microsoft Forms rules. | Compared with WPS, answer-based routing depends on supported question types. | Compared with WPS, conditional logic availability depends on plan level. | Compared with WPS, related extensions are more script-oriented for form behavior setup. |
