| Capability Summary | Add a User Name field from the Forms module in the editor, then configure, preview, and save it in the editing panel. | Microsoft Forms can record identity information through the Record name setting. If a custom name input is needed, users often add a separate text question. | Google Forms can use a Short answer question as a name input field and can mark it as required. | Notion Forms can automatically create a Respondent property to capture names and can also control anonymous responses in sharing settings. | Adobe Acrobat Sign supports fields such as Signer name and Text field to collect signer names or other text information. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The User Name entry sits directly in the form editing flow, which is convenient for quick adding, previewing, and saving. | Compared with WPS: Name collection is more dependent on form settings or general question types. | Compared with WPS: Name collection mainly relies on a general question type setup. | Compared with WPS: It can capture respondent identity automatically, but form creation and customization are centered on desktop and web apps. | Compared with WPS: It is more focused on signature and agreement workflows. |
