Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides a Related Data entry inside the Poll module of Smart Forms, where you can open the editor, set parameters, preview, and confirm the result. | Microsoft Forms supports branching logic so a form can route respondents to later questions or to the end of the form based on answers. | Google Forms supports section-based routing and can send respondents to a specific section or submit the form based on an answer. | Notion Forms connects questions to database properties, and conditional logic is available on Business and Enterprise plans. | Adobe Acrobat web forms focus on publishing, filling, signing, and managing online forms for collection workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Distinct: the Related Data entry is part of the poll setup flow, so users can configure, preview, and confirm in one editing path. | Compared with WPS: the official pages emphasize branching and survey flow control rather than a dedicated related-data setup step for polls. | Compared with WPS: the official pages focus on section routing for answer paths and do not describe a separate related-data entry for poll setup. | Compared with WPS: forms are tightly connected to databases, but conditional logic is plan-limited and form creation or customization is centered on desktop and web apps. | Compared with WPS: the official pages focus more on web form publishing, signatures, and management than on poll configuration workflows. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to configure poll-related data within the editing flow, WPS keeps that work close to the poll setup process. The other products focus more on branching, database-backed forms, or web form publishing and signing, which fit different form workflows.
