About This Feature

Overview

Auto Increment Table is a Smart Forms configuration feature in WPS Office for Mac for exam scenarios. It lets you open the Auto Increment Table setup entry, adjust related settings, preview the result, and save the configuration in the form editor.

Core tasks include:

Open the Auto Increment Table entry under the Exam module.
Configure the related table settings in the editing panel.
Preview the current result before confirming the setup.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides an Auto Increment Table setup entry inside Smart Forms exam workflows, so users can configure settings, preview the result, and save changes in one editing flow.	Excel provides a built-in data form that can add, find, update, and delete complete rows in a range or table.	Google Forms can store responses in a linked Google Sheet, and Google Sheets automatically places the data in a table, but it is not a native in-sheet exam table configuration flow.	Notion databases let users create table-style records, add properties, and manage rows for general information organization.	Acrobat focuses on filling and signing PDF forms and does not provide a spreadsheet-style auto-increment table configuration workflow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The setup entry is part of the exam form editing flow. Distinct: Preview and confirmation stay close to the same editing path before publishing.	Compared with WPS: Excel is oriented more toward general row entry and editing in tables than a dedicated exam form configuration path.	Compared with WPS: Google is stronger for a form-collection-plus-sheet-storage workflow, while table setup and form editing are split across different interfaces.	Compared with WPS: Notion is better suited to general database organization than a dedicated exam form setup path.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is centered on PDF form completion and signing rather than exam-oriented table setup.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Auto Increment Table fits users who already build exam workflows in Smart Forms and want the setup, preview, and save steps to stay in one editing path. Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe each support adjacent workflows, but their primary focus is general table entry, response storage, database management, or PDF forms.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable Users	Main Pain Point	How WPS Helps
1	Collecting exam registration details	Teachers and training organizers	Structured multi-column information needs to be collected in one form	Configure an Auto Increment Table in the Exam module for consistent entry
2	Checking rules before publishing	Form editors	The final display may not match the intended setup	Adjust settings first and verify the result in preview
3	Entering repeated records	Users who need multiple repeated entries	A single field is not enough for multi-row information	Use an Auto Increment Table to hold repeated rows of data
4	Updating an existing exam flow	Form managers	Table settings still need changes after the form is created	Reopen the Auto Increment Table panel, adjust settings, and save
5	Managing when new settings take effect	Form maintainers	It may be unclear when changes affect respondents	Save the setup and continue with publishing so later data uses the updated settings
