About This Feature

Overview

Auto Increment Table is a built-in configuration feature in WPS Office for Mac Smart Forms under the File Collection module. It is used to set up and manage an auto increment table during a file collection workflow. After configuration, you can manage related settings during form creation and confirm the result in preview before saving.

Core tasks include:

Open the Auto Increment Table entry from the File Collection module.
Set parameters and confirm the configuration.
Edit an existing configuration after the file collection form has already been created.

This feature is useful for building file collection forms, checking submission flows before release, and adjusting settings later.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides an Auto Increment Table entry inside the Smart Forms File Collection module, so users can set parameters, preview the result, and revise the configuration later in the same workflow.	Microsoft Forms supports file upload questions and form results can be exported to Excel; writing responses into an existing Excel table typically relies on a Power Automate workflow.	Google Forms can store responses in a linked Google Sheet, and Google Sheets automatically places the data in a table for later organization.	Notion supports file uploads and files properties in databases, but its workflow is centered on database attachments rather than a native file collection form to spreadsheet setup.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF form data collection and can export collected entries to CSV or XML for spreadsheet-style processing.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the File Collection to Auto Increment Table path is available directly inside the Smart Forms editor. Distinct: setup, preview, and later edits stay in one editing workflow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft usually depends on a combined Forms, Excel, and Power Automate workflow for table-based response handling.	Compared with WPS: Google is more focused on storing form responses in a linked sheet after submission.	Compared with WPS: Notion is better aligned with database file management than a dedicated file collection form configuration path.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is more focused on PDF form collection and export than Smart Forms table configuration.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Auto Increment Table fits users who already build file collection workflows in Smart Forms and want to open the feature, configure it, preview it, and adjust it later in one editor. Other products can also handle uploaded files or response data, but they are generally oriented toward linked spreadsheets, database attachments, or PDF form collection.
