About This Feature

Overview

Single Selection is a configuration feature in the Smart Forms polling workflow of WPS Office for Mac. It is used to create and manage a poll question where respondents can choose only one option.

Core tasks include:

  • Open the Single Selection entry in the poll editor.
  • Configure the Single Selection settings.
  • Preview the result and confirm the setup.

Typical use cases include event sign-ups, team voting, and preference collection. It helps reduce ambiguity caused by multiple selections and makes results easier to review.
