About This Feature

Overview

Auto Numbering is a built-in configuration feature in the Smart Forms voting module of WPS Office for Windows. It helps form creators organize question or option order during editing by applying numbering settings inside the voting workflow.

Core tasks include:

Open the Auto Numbering entry: go from the form editor to the voting module and open the numbering settings.
Configure numbering settings: adjust the available options in the settings panel.
Preview and confirm the result: check the display effect before saving the change.

This feature is useful for surveys, event voting forms, classroom polls, and internal feedback collection where a clear item order helps reduce manual cleanup.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides an Auto Numbering entry inside the voting module so you can open the panel, adjust settings, and preview the result during form editing.	Microsoft Forms lets you adjust response settings and disable question numbers for respondents.	Google Forms lets you add, edit, and shuffle questions, but the official help page does not describe a separate native auto-numbering switch.	Notion Forms lets you create, edit, and preview questions in a form builder, with questions connected to database properties.	Adobe Acrobat provides page renumbering and list editing for PDFs, but this is not the same workflow as auto numbering in an online voting form.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The Auto Numbering entry sits directly in the voting editing flow, making setup, preview, and confirmation easier to complete in one place.	Compared with WPS: focuses more on question display settings and hiding question numbers than on a separate auto-numbering setup flow.	Compared with WPS: supports question structure management, but numbering is tied more to form presentation than to a dedicated numbering panel.	Compared with WPS: emphasizes database-connected form building, and the official page does not show a separate numbering control.	Compared with WPS: centers on PDF page numbering rather than numbering configuration inside a voting form.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to handle numbering directly while building a voting form, WPS keeps the entry closer to the editing flow. Other products offer form editing or numbering-related features, but their official workflows are not as closely aligned with voting auto numbering.
