Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports entering the Multiple Selections setup in Smart Forms poll scenarios, then completing parameter setup, preview, and confirmation. | Microsoft Forms provides Choice and Ranking question types; Choice can allow multiple answers, while Ranking is a separate question type. | Google Forms can set a select-at-most rule for checkbox questions and can also use grid settings to limit one response per column. | Notion Forms supports multiple-choice style questions and lets multi-select questions set a maximum number of selections. | Adobe Acrobat mainly provides PDF form fields such as list boxes, check boxes, radio buttons, and text fields. |
| WPS Advantages | Distinct: WPS keeps entry access, parameter setup, and preview confirmation in one poll configuration flow for direct form-building work. | Compared with WPS: multiple answers and ranking are described as separate question types in the official workflow, so they need separate design. | Compared with WPS: selection limits can be handled through rules and grid settings, but the official help does not describe a native ranking question type on the cited page. | Compared with WPS: it is centered more on database-backed forms and property settings; form creation and customization are limited to desktop and web apps. | Compared with WPS: the official workflow focuses on PDF form fields rather than a native poll-oriented multiple-selection ranking flow. |
