About This Feature

Overview

Auto Increment Table is used to configure and manage an incrementing table during Smart Form editing. After you open the Form area, you can enter the Auto Increment Table settings, adjust parameters, preview the result, and save the configuration.

Core tasks include:

Open the Auto Increment Table entry and enter its editing area.
Configure the relevant parameters in the settings panel.
Preview the result before confirming the setup.
Save the configuration and publish it when the updated setup needs to take effect.

This feature fits form scenarios that need ongoing record entry, repeated row additions, or structured table-based data collection, such as registrations, logs, itemized records, and recurring entries.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides an Auto Increment Table entry inside the Smart Form editing interface for parameter setup, preview, and saving.	Excel provides a built-in data form that can add, find, edit, and delete full rows in a range or table.	Google Forms can save responses to Google Sheets, and Sheets automatically places the data into a table.	Notion can create database tables, add entries, and assign properties to each row, but each row is fundamentally a page entry.	Acrobat can collect PDF form data and export the results to a spreadsheet or XML.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The configuration entry is placed directly in the Smart Form editing flow. Distinct: Setup, preview, and saving can be completed in one editing context.	Compared with WPS: Excel is more focused on entering and maintaining existing table data rather than configuring an online form design flow.	Compared with WPS: The Google workflow depends more on coordination between Forms and Sheets, with setup and data storage split across different interfaces.	Compared with WPS: Notion is more oriented toward database management, and table rows are more tightly tied to page-based records.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is more focused on PDF form collection and export rather than spreadsheet-style form configuration.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to configure an incrementing table directly inside a Smart Form editing workflow, WPS keeps the entry point and setup path more centralized. Other products can also work with structured data or form results, but they focus more on spreadsheet row entry, response collection, database management, or PDF form processing.
