About This Feature
Overview
Data Statistics is a built-in setup feature in the Exam section of Smart Forms in WPS Office for macOS. It is used to configure and manage how exam data is counted and reviewed before publishing.
Core tasks include:
- Open the Data Statistics entry: go to the form editor, enter the Exam section, and open Data Statistics.
- Set statistics options and preview the result: adjust available options in the panel and review the effect.
