About This Feature

Overview

Matrix Question is a question type in the Poll section of WPS smart forms on macOS. It helps you organize options in a row-and-column layout so you can collect multi-dimensional feedback in one place.

Its main tasks include:

Open the Matrix Question entry: go to the form editor, open Poll, and enter Matrix Question.
Set Matrix Question parameters: configure the related settings in the editing panel.
Preview and save the result: check the display effect before confirming the setup.

This feature is useful for satisfaction surveys, event voting, course feedback, and other scenarios that need structured responses across multiple dimensions.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Matrix Question entry in the Poll workflow of smart forms, with steps for editing, parameter setup, preview, and save.	Microsoft Forms offers similar layouts such as Likert, but the official Q&A page does not describe the same matrix-style text input capability.	Google Forms officially supports Multiple choice grid and Checkbox grid for row-and-column question layouts.	Notion Forms supports multiple question types, database property mapping, and conditional logic, but the official help page does not describe a native matrix question type.	Adobe Acrobat web forms focus on online form publishing, completion, and signature workflows, and the official help page does not describe native matrix question setup.
WPS Advantages	Distinct: You can enter Matrix Question directly from the Poll module. Advantage: setup, preview, and save stay in one editing flow.	Compared with WPS: official public guidance is closer to a workaround, with less direct support detail for matrix-style text needs.	Compared with WPS: native grid question types are documented, but the product is positioned more broadly as a general online form tool.	Compared with WPS: the official guidance emphasizes database-connected forms and workflows rather than a dedicated matrix question setup.	Compared with WPS: the official guidance emphasizes web forms and signing workflows rather than matrix question configuration.

Overall Conclusion

If you want a focused editing path for setting up, previewing, and saving a matrix-style question on macOS, WPS keeps the workflow concentrated in one place. Google Forms has clearly documented grid question types, while Notion and Adobe focus more on their broader form, workflow, or signing scenarios.
