About This Feature

Overview

Industry is a configuration item in the Form scenario of WPS Forms. It is used to set and manage the industry category of a form, helping you align a form with a business scenario during creation.

On macOS, common tasks for this feature include:

  • Open the Industry entry: go to the Form module in the form editor and find Industry.
  • Adjust industry settings and preview the result: edit the related options and check the effect before confirming.
  • Save and review the result: confirm the setting so you can continue editing or move on to publishing.

This feature is useful for business form setup, template organization, and pre-publish checks.
