About This Feature
Overview
Auto Increment Table is a built-in configuration feature in the smart form editor of WPS Office for macOS. It is used in the check-in scenario to add and manage an auto-increment table inside a form.
Core tasks include:
- Open the Auto Increment Table entry in the check-in module.
- Adjust the related settings in the editing panel.
- Preview the current result before confirming changes.
- Save the configuration so it can take effect in the form workflow.
This feature is useful for check-in form design, event information collection, and form scenarios that need repeated row-based records. It helps reduce repeated manual setup and keeps table configuration inside the same form editing flow.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Configure an Auto Increment Table inside the Check-in module of the smart form editor, including entry access, parameter setup, preview, and confirmation. | Excel provides a built-in data form that can add, find, edit, and delete rows in a range or table. | Google Forms can save responses to a linked Google Sheet, and Google Sheets automatically puts the response data into a table. | Notion Forms connect questions to database properties so responses are stored directly in a database table view. | Adobe Acrobat Sign can create public web forms that collect submitted information as part of an agreement workflow. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The setup flow stays inside the check-in form editor, so configuration, preview, and confirmation happen in one place. | Compared with WPS: Excel focuses on spreadsheet row entry and row management rather than an embedded check-in form configuration flow. | Compared with WPS: The workflow depends on Google Forms and Google Sheets together, so form setup and table storage are handled in separate interfaces. | Compared with WPS: Notion is oriented more toward database-based collection, and form creation and customization are limited to desktop and web apps. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on signing and agreement collection, which is different from configuring an auto-increment table inside a form. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Auto Increment Table is more closely aligned with a check-in form editing workflow on macOS, especially when you want to configure, preview, and confirm settings in one editor. Other products provide form or table entry features as well, but they are generally centered on spreadsheet entry, database collection, or signing workflows.
