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.
