About This Feature

Overview

Gender is a question-setting feature in WPS Smart Forms for survey scenarios. It is used to add, edit, and confirm gender-related options so collected responses stay consistent during form submission.

Core tasks include:

Open the gender question entry: go to the Survey area in the form editor and locate the Gender option.
Edit the gender question settings: adjust the question and related settings in the editing panel.
Preview and confirm the result: check the display before finishing so the form looks correct to respondents.

This feature is useful for registration forms, profile collection, event surveys, and other forms that need basic respondent information.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Gender fits a survey editing flow where you want to add, adjust, and confirm a gender question in one place. If your priority is a general online form builder, Microsoft Forms, Google Forms, and Notion Forms offer similar question configuration paths. If your priority is document-based field collection, Adobe Acrobat Sign is closer to that use case.
