About This Feature

Overview

Data Dashboard is a setup feature in the Smart Forms attendance module of WPS Office for Windows. It is used to configure, preview, and manage how attendance data is displayed before a form is published or updated.

Core tasks include:

Open the Data Dashboard entry from the attendance module.
Set related dashboard parameters in the configuration panel.
Preview the current display effect before saving.
Save the configuration for later attendance data display.

This feature fits attendance activities, team check-ins, department summaries, and recurring reporting scenarios. It helps editors prepare a clearer data view during form setup and reduce repeated adjustments later.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Data Dashboard entry inside the Smart Forms attendance workflow, where editors can set parameters, preview the result, and save the configuration.	Microsoft Forms provides real-time analytics, response overview, individual result review, and export to Excel for deeper analysis.	Google Forms provides response summaries, question-level and person-level views, and export or linked analysis in Google Sheets.	Notion dashboard views combine database widgets such as tables, boards, calendars, and charts into one layout.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on collecting PDF form data, exporting it to spreadsheet or XML formats, and managing returned form data files.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The dashboard setup is placed directly in the attendance creation flow, so editors can configure and preview the display before release.	Compared with WPS: Focuses more on response analytics and Excel-based follow-up analysis than on dashboard setup inside an attendance workflow.	Compared with WPS: Focuses more on response summaries and spreadsheet-linked review than on in-flow dashboard configuration for attendance scenarios.	Compared with WPS: Supports broader database dashboards, but the official page states that dashboard views are tied to database layouts and plan availability.	Compared with WPS: Focuses on PDF form data collection and export rather than attendance-oriented dashboard setup.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Data Dashboard is more closely aligned with attendance form setup, especially when you want to configure the display before publishing. Microsoft and Google focus more on response analysis, Notion is stronger for database-style dashboards, and Adobe is centered on PDF form data management.
