|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides a Gender field entry in Smart Forms questionnaires, with an editing panel for setup, preview, and confirmation. | Microsoft Forms supports Choice questions with answer options, and also provides settings such as required, drop-down, and branching. | Google Forms supports Multiple choice and Dropdown questions, both of which can provide a single-choice option list. | Notion supports Select properties in databases, which allow one option from a list and are more suitable for lightweight categorization. | Adobe Acrobat Sign supports Radio Buttons for choosing one value from a predefined set. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The Gender field is placed directly in the Smart Forms questionnaire workflow, which makes entry and preview straightforward for field setup. | Compared with WPS: Users usually start from a general Choice question and then organize options and question structure manually. | Compared with WPS: It relies on general question types and supports flexible form building, but it is not a dedicated Gender field entry. | Compared with WPS: It is centered on database properties, so it fits record management better than a questionnaire-specific field flow. | Compared with WPS: It is more focused on document signing and PDF form scenarios than questionnaire editing. |
