About This Feature

Overview

User Name is a field setting in WPS Forms for attendance scenarios. It is used to configure how participant names are collected when you create or edit an attendance form. This feature is useful for attendance tracking, event sign-in, visitor registration, and similar workflows that need identity details.

Core tasks include:

Open the User Name setting: Go to the form editor, open the attendance module, and locate the User Name field.
Complete the User Name setup: Adjust settings in the panel, preview the result, and confirm the changes.

This setup helps you finish basic identity collection in a WPS form more efficiently and makes response tracking easier later.
