About This Feature

Overview

Auto Increment Table is a Smart Forms configuration feature in WPS Office for Mac. It is used to set up and manage auto-increment tables during form editing.

Core tasks include:

Open the Auto Increment Table entry from the form editor.
Configure and preview related settings.
Save and apply the configuration to the current form.

This feature is useful for form design, data-entry rule setup, and pre-publish checks. It helps keep table-based numbering or record structures ready before the form is used.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides an Auto Increment Table entry inside the Smart Forms editing flow, so you can configure, preview, and save settings in one place.	Excel supports sequential numbering with the fill handle or the ROW function. In an Excel table, numbering can continue for rows added at the end of the table.	Google Sheets supports autofill for number series, which helps continue sequential values in a worksheet.	Notion databases support an ID property that automatically creates a numerical ID for each database item.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF editing, conversion, and signing rather than native spreadsheet-style auto-increment table configuration.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The setup entry is part of the form editing workflow, which is more direct for form structure design and submission-oriented scenarios.	Compared with WPS: Excel focuses on worksheet numbering methods instead of a dedicated form configuration flow.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets focuses on spreadsheet series filling rather than a form-specific auto-increment table setup panel.	Compared with WPS: Notion provides database item IDs rather than spreadsheet-like table configuration inside a form editor.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is centered on PDF workflows and does not provide a matching form-table configuration entry.

Overall Conclusion: WPS Auto Increment Table is more closely aligned with form editing and configuration tasks on macOS. The other products mainly cover spreadsheet numbering, database IDs, or PDF workflows, so their use cases are related but not the same.
