About This Feature

Overview

Industry is a configuration item in the Smart Forms editor in WPS Office for Windows. It is used to set the industry category for the current form so the form keeps clear business context during creation and management.

Core tasks include:

Open the Industry entry: go to the Form section in the editor and locate the Industry setting.
Adjust Industry settings: choose or modify the related option in the editing panel.
Preview and confirm the result: check the setting before saving so later use stays consistent.

This feature is useful for business form creation, template organization, and multi-scenario form management because it helps complete basic classification during editing.
