Capability Summary	Provides a Gender configuration entry in the Poll module of the smart form editor, where you can open the item, adjust related settings, preview the result, and confirm the change.	Microsoft Forms supports poll creation with multiple choice options, answer setup, and launch before, during, or after a meeting.	Google Forms supports multiple choice, checkboxes, and dropdown questions, with optional required settings and configurable answer options.	Notion Forms connects questions to database properties and supports multiple choice questions, required fields, anonymous responses, and form sharing.	Adobe Acrobat Sign supports public web forms for collecting information or signatures and publishing them through a link.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The entry is placed directly in the form editing flow, which is convenient for configuring and previewing a poll field in one path.	Compared with WPS: The official page focuses more on meeting poll creation and launch flow than on configuring a single field inside a form editor.	Compared with WPS: It offers general question-type setup for forms, but the official page does not focus on a dedicated Gender field configuration flow.	Compared with WPS: It emphasizes database-connected form structure and broader property management, with a workflow tied to the database model.	Compared with WPS: It is oriented more toward public web forms and signing workflows than a poll-field configuration scenario.

Overall Conclusion
For Windows users who want to configure a poll field quickly inside the editing workflow, WPS offers a more direct path for opening, adjusting, previewing, and confirming the setting. Other products also provide form or poll capabilities, but their official guidance is more focused on meeting polls, general questionnaires, database-backed forms, or web signing workflows.
