About This Feature
Overview
Data Statistics is used in Smart Forms relay scenarios to configure and manage how data is counted and presented. It helps form creators complete statistics settings during editing and keep a consistent structure for later participation tracking and result review.
Core tasks include:
- Open the Data Statistics entry: enter the relay module from the form editor and locate Data Statistics.
- Configure statistics settings: adjust the available options in the panel.
- Preview the statistics result: check the display before confirming the setup.
- Save and apply the configuration: confirm the settings and publish a new version when needed.
This workflow is useful for event sign-ups, information collection, team relay forms, and other scenarios that need structured follow-up summaries.

| Capability Summary | Provides a Data Statistics entry inside the Smart Forms relay editing flow, where you can configure settings, preview the result, and save the setup. | Microsoft Forms lets you review response summaries, inspect individual responses, and open results in Excel for further analysis. | Google Forms provides a Responses summary view, individual response review, and export to Google Sheets or CSV. | Notion Forms connects forms to databases, where responses can be filtered, sorted, and visualized with chart views. | Adobe Acrobat focuses on collecting PDF form data, storing returned responses in a response file, and exporting data to CSV or XML. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: statistics setup is placed directly in the relay creation flow. Distinct: setup, preview, and confirmation stay in one editing path. | Compared with WPS: it focuses more on reviewing submitted responses and exporting data after collection. | Compared with WPS: it focuses more on response management and spreadsheet-based analysis after submission. | Compared with WPS: its strength is database-based organization and later analysis rather than a relay-specific statistics setup flow. | Compared with WPS: it is centered on PDF form collection and export, not the same type of built-in online form statistics configuration flow. |
