About This Feature

Overview

Data Statistics is a built-in Smart Forms configuration feature in WPS Office for macOS. It is used to set up and manage how form data statistics are prepared, so form creators can review the setup before saving or publishing a form.

Core tasks include:

Open the Data Statistics entry point from the form editor.
Adjust related settings in the configuration panel.
Preview the current statistics effect before saving.
Save the configuration and publish a new version when needed.
