About This Feature

Overview

Auto Increment Table is a setup feature in the Relay section of the Smart Forms editor on Windows. It is used to configure and manage a table that can keep accepting appended records during a relay workflow.

Core tasks include:

Open the Auto Increment Table entry in the form editor.
Configure table-related settings in the editing panel.
Preview the current result before confirming changes.
Save the configuration for a new relay workflow.

This feature is useful for registration, information collection, roster tracking, and other scenarios where records continue to grow over time. It helps you define the table structure before publishing the workflow so later data collection stays more organized.

Capability Summary	Provides an Auto Increment Table entry inside Smart Forms relay workflows, so you can configure settings, preview the result, and save it during setup.	Excel tables can expand by typing, pasting, or resizing the table range, which supports structured data maintenance in worksheets.	Google Sheets tables can convert ranges into tables, automatically apply structure and formatting, and support table range adjustments.	Notion offers database automations that react to database changes, but this is not a traditional spreadsheet cell table setup flow.	Acrobat focuses on collecting and exporting PDF form data rather than configuring spreadsheet-style auto-increment tables.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the entry is placed directly in the Smart Forms relay workflow. Distinct: it fits pre-launch table setup for relay-based collection tasks.	Compared with WPS: Excel is more focused on worksheet table expansion and structured spreadsheet maintenance.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets is more focused on online table formatting, table ranges, and table references.	Compared with WPS: Notion offers stronger database automation, but the object is a database record workflow rather than relay table setup.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is centered on PDF form response collection and export, so the use case is different.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to configure a table directly during Smart Forms relay creation, WPS follows a workflow that is closer to that task. The other products are oriented more toward spreadsheet management, database automation, or PDF form collection, so their use cases are not the same.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable users	Main challenge	How Auto Increment Table helps
1	Event registration relay	Admin teams and community organizers	Participant records keep growing and are hard to organize manually	Configure the table in the relay workflow so new entries can be added in a consistent structure
2	Duty schedule collection	Team leads	Multiple people submit information in batches and fields need to stay consistent	Set table parameters in advance and collect data in a unified format
3	Supply request tracking	Operations teams and project members	Request records continue to increase and can be missed easily	Use the table to hold continuously appended records
4	Training attendance summary	Training organizers	Data needs to be collected and checked at the same time	Preview the layout before saving to confirm the displayed fields
5	Project data backfill	Project collaborators	Newly added records may become inconsistent later	Define the table structure early to reduce later cleanup
