About This Feature

Overview

Data Dashboard is a configuration feature in Smart Forms relay workflows in WPS Office for Mac. It is used to set up and manage a data dashboard during creation, preview the result, confirm the setup, and return later for updates.

Core tasks include:

Open the Data Dashboard entry: go to the relay module in the form editor and open the dashboard setup area.
Configure dashboard settings: adjust the available parameters in the setup panel.
Preview the display result: review the current dashboard effect before saving.
Edit an existing dashboard: return to the relay editor after creation and update the dashboard again.

This workflow fits activity sign-ups, information collection, registration tracking, and progress display scenarios where organizers want a more direct way to review and configure how relay data is shown.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Data Dashboard entry inside the Smart Forms relay workflow, where you can open the editor, set parameters, preview the result, and confirm the setup.	Microsoft Forms provides real-time response summaries, per-question details, individual results, and Excel export for deeper analysis.	Google Forms provides a Responses summary view, question-by-question or person-by-person review, and Google Sheets integration for further analysis.	Notion Forms stores responses in a database, where users can analyze them with filters, sorting, and chart views; charting depends on database views.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on collecting PDF form data, compiling responses, and exporting them to spreadsheet or XML formats, without a native dashboard workflow described here.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The dashboard setup is placed directly in the relay editing flow, which helps you configure and preview the display while creating the form.	Compared with WPS: the workflow centers more on reviewing responses and exporting to Excel than on configuring a relay-style dashboard during creation.	Compared with WPS: the workflow focuses on response summaries and spreadsheet follow-up, with display centered on form summaries and Sheets-based analysis.	Compared with WPS: analysis depends on combining database and chart views, so the setup path is more distributed.	Compared with WPS: the workflow is stronger for PDF form collection and export, while native dashboard-style visualization is less emphasized.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to configure and preview data display during relay creation, WPS keeps the workflow more centralized. If you need spreadsheet export, database-based analysis, or PDF form collection, the other products provide different strengths for those use cases.
