About This Feature
Overview
Data Statistics is a configuration feature in the Smart Forms poll workflow of WPS Office for Mac. It is used to set up statistics options, save the configuration, review results after publishing, and adjust the statistics settings later when needed.
Core tasks include:
- Open the Data Statistics entry in a poll and enter the related settings panel.
- Configure the available parameters and review the current setup.
- Preview and save the statistics configuration so the poll is ready for publishing.
