About This Feature
Overview
Single Selection is a configuration feature in the Survey area of WPS Forms on macOS. It is used to create a question where respondents can choose only one answer, then complete setup, preview, and saving in the form editing flow.
Core tasks include:
- Open the Single Selection setup entry and enter the survey editing flow.
- Configure the Single Selection question and preview the result.
- Save the setup for later survey publishing.
This feature works well for registration forms, opinion collection, event voting, and basic surveys. It helps limit each respondent to one answer and reduces confusion caused by multiple selections.
