About This Feature

Overview

Cross Analysis is a configuration feature in the poll module of WPS smart forms on Windows. It is used to set up cross analysis during poll creation, preview the effect, and confirm the settings before finishing the action.

Core tasks include:

Open the Cross Analysis entry from the form editor and poll module.
Set related parameters, preview the result, and confirm the setup.

This feature is useful when preparing poll structures, checking questionnaire logic before publishing, and reviewing setup details before sharing. After the setup is complete, you can continue to generate a sharing link and review results later through data statistics.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Cross Analysis entry inside the poll module of smart forms, allowing users to configure settings, preview the effect, and confirm the setup within the editing flow.	Microsoft Forms supports branching logic so a survey or quiz can change based on responses, but the official page notes that branching can only go to a consecutive question or the end of the form.	Google Forms supports answer-based routing by sending respondents to different sections or directly submitting the form, which works well for section-based branching.	Notion Forms can collect responses into connected databases, and conditional logic can show follow-up questions based on responses, but this is available only on Business and Enterprise plans.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on creating and editing fillable PDF forms. Its official form pages describe fillable fields and form creation, rather than a native poll cross-analysis workflow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the Cross Analysis entry is part of the poll creation flow, so setup and confirmation stay in one editing path. Distinct: the workflow clearly includes parameter setup, preview, confirmation, and follow-up statistics review.	Compared with WPS: supports branching logic, but official guidance limits branching to later consecutive questions.	Compared with WPS: uses section-based routing, which fits multi-section forms, but the official workflow is less direct for poll-specific analysis setup.	Compared with WPS: conditional logic has plan restrictions, and form creation and customization are centered on desktop and web apps.	Compared with WPS: focuses on PDF form creation and fillable fields rather than a poll-oriented cross-analysis setup flow.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Cross Analysis is more closely aligned with poll setup inside a single editing workflow. Microsoft, Google, and Notion focus more on branching or conditional form logic, while Adobe Acrobat is centered on PDF forms. For poll cross-analysis setup on Windows, WPS provides a more direct entry path.
