About This Feature

Overview

Scale Question is a question type in the Poll section of WPS Smart Forms. It is used to collect feedback with a score range. In the form editor, you can open the Scale Question settings, adjust related options, preview the result, and save it to the current poll content.

Core tasks include:

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Scale Question entry in the Poll section of Smart Forms, with a workflow for configuration, preview, and saving.	Microsoft Forms supports question types such as Rating and Likert, and also provides a preview workflow for forms and quizzes.	Google Forms supports Linear scale and Rating question types, including score ranges and end labels.	Notion Forms supports multiple question types, required fields, sharing settings, and database-connected responses; the official help page does not present a dedicated native scale-question type.	Adobe Acrobat supports fillable PDF forms with interactive fields such as text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, and dropdowns; its official forms overview is centered on PDF form fields rather than survey-native scale questions.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The scale-question workflow is placed directly inside the Poll scenario, making it convenient for evaluation-style form setup. Distinct: Entry, parameter setup, preview, and save are handled in one editing flow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft Forms offers rating-related question types in a general-purpose online form workflow rather than a poll-focused scale-question flow.	Compared with WPS: Google Forms provides structured scale bounds and labels, but its official guidance is framed around general form building.	Compared with WPS: Notion emphasizes database-connected collection, sharing, and follow-up analysis; the official help page does not describe a dedicated scale-question type.	Compared with WPS: Adobe Acrobat is oriented toward PDF form creation and field management instead of an online poll scale-question workflow.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to add a scale question quickly inside a poll workflow and finish setup, preview, and saving in one place, WPS offers a focused path. If your priority is a general online form builder, database-connected workflows, or PDF form production, the other products may fit those scenarios better.
