About This Feature

Overview

Auto Numbering is a built-in setup feature in the Poll section of WPS Smart Forms on macOS. It is used to manage numbering display and related setup steps while creating a poll.

Its main tasks include:

Open the Auto Numbering entry: go to the Poll module in the form editor and locate the Auto Numbering option.
Adjust Auto Numbering settings: complete the relevant setup in the settings panel.
Preview and confirm the result: review the effect and save after setup.

This feature is useful for surveys, polls, event sign-up forms, and other scenarios where questions or options need to appear in a clear sequence. Auto numbering helps keep form content organized and easier to review in WPS Office.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides an Auto Numbering entry in the Poll workflow of Smart Forms, so users can complete setup, preview, and confirmation during creation.	Microsoft Forms automatically numbers questions, but the official Q&A page does not describe a native setting for removing or customizing numbering.	Google Forms help covers adding questions, sections, reordering, and shuffle settings, but it does not describe a native Auto Numbering setting.	Notion Forms supports form creation, question editing, and database-linked responses, but the official help page does not describe a separate sequential auto-numbering setting.	Adobe Acrobat forms can be extended with JavaScript for formatting, calculations, validation, and other automation, but this is a script-based form workflow rather than a direct poll auto-numbering setting.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS places Auto Numbering directly in the poll editing workflow, which helps users finish numbering setup during form creation. Distinct: the path from entry to preview and confirmation is more centralized.	Compared with WPS: numbering is closer to a system behavior, and the official page does not describe a separate editor setting for numbering rules.	Compared with WPS: the official page focuses more on form structure editing and order management than on a dedicated auto-numbering switch.	Compared with WPS: the official page focuses more on database-connected form customization, and numbering is not described as a separate setting.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat offers broader script-based automation, but it usually requires JavaScript or field design instead of a direct poll-oriented setup item.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to handle auto numbering directly while building a poll, WPS offers a more focused setup path inside the editing workflow. Other products also provide form editing or automation features, but their official pages describe less direct support for a dedicated auto-numbering setting, or rely more on default behavior and scripting.
