About This Feature

Overview

Student/Faculty ID is used to add and manage an identity number field in the check-in scenario of WPS Forms, making it easier to collect student IDs or faculty IDs.

Core tasks include:

Open the Student/Faculty ID setup entry: go to the related field settings from the form editor.
Configure the field: adjust the available settings shown in the panel.
Preview the result: check how the field appears before saving.
Save and apply the setup: confirm the changes so the form uses the updated field settings.

This feature fits campus check-ins, information collection, event sign-ins, and routine identity data collection. It can also support attendance sheet workflows when a form needs a consistent ID field.
