About This Feature
Overview
WPS Matrix Question is a Smart Form voting question setup feature in WPS Office for Windows. It helps you organize multiple rows and columns in one question so you can collect structured feedback more efficiently.
Core tasks include:
- Open the Matrix Question entry: go from the form editor to the voting module and locate Matrix Question.
- Configure Matrix Question content: set the question details in the editing panel.
- Preview the Matrix Question layout: check the display before saving.
- Save and apply the setup: confirm the question so it can be used in later sharing and response collection.
Common use cases include polls, satisfaction surveys, and event feedback. It helps reduce repeated question setup and keeps multi-dimensional options in one place. Within the WPS Office workflow, the feature keeps editing, previewing, and saving in one continuous process.

Compare with Alternatives

| Capability Summary | Provides a Matrix Question entry in Smart Form voting, with steps to configure settings, preview the result, and save the question. | Microsoft Forms supports polls, quizzes, and Likert-style questions. An official Microsoft Q&A page says there is no out-of-box way to meet this kind of matrix requirement with multiple answers in each row and column. | Google Forms supports multiple choice grid and checkbox grid questions, with row and column setup, required-answer rules, and one-response-per-column options. | Notion Forms is built around database properties and supports multiple question types and conditional logic, but the official help page does not describe a native matrix question type. | Adobe Acrobat web forms focus on turning documents or PDFs into online forms for publishing and tracking, and the official page does not describe a native survey matrix question type. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: Matrix Question is available directly in the Smart Form voting flow. Distinct: editing, previewing, and saving stay in one focused path for quick setup. | Compared with WPS: the official public guidance does not show a ready-made question type for this matrix requirement. | Compared with WPS: Google Forms offers grid questions, but the setup is centered on the Google Forms interface and rule model. | Compared with WPS: Notion emphasizes database-connected forms and workflows, while matrix-question support is not explicitly documented on the official help page. | Compared with WPS: Adobe emphasizes online business forms and signing workflows rather than poll-oriented matrix question setup. |

Overall Conclusion: If your main goal is to set up a matrix-style question quickly inside a voting workflow, WPS keeps the entry point close to the form editing process. Other products also provide form or grid capabilities, but their focus, question models, and workflow emphasis differ.

| 4 | Internal team assessments | Team leads | Multiple indicators need a consistent layout | Present evaluation dimensions together in one matrix question |
