| Capability Summary | In smart forms on Mac, WPS provides a name configuration entry inside the voting workflow, with editing, parameter adjustment, preview, and save actions. | Microsoft Forms lets form owners control who can respond and record responder names in form settings. | Google Forms can collect participant email addresses and use question design plus required fields to gather identity information. | Notion Forms automatically creates a Respondent property to capture names and can also allow anonymous responses. | Adobe Acrobat Sign web forms can require a recipient name during agreement or web form configuration. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The name setting is placed directly in the voting workflow, so the entry is easy to find. Advantage: Editing, previewing, and confirming are completed in one focused flow for quick setup. | Compared with WPS: It focuses more on responder identity tracking and access settings across the whole form. | Compared with WPS: It emphasizes email collection and question rules, so name collection is usually built through question design. | Compared with WPS: It can auto-create a Respondent property, but form creation and customization are mainly handled on desktop and web apps. | Compared with WPS: It is more oriented to e-signature and agreement workflows than poll configuration. |
