Capability Summary	Provides a Matrix Scale entry in the Survey section of the intelligent form editor, with a panel for parameter setup, preview, and confirmation.	Microsoft Forms provides Likert and Rating question types for scale-based feedback, but the official page does not show a separate Matrix Scale entry matching the WPS workflow.
