About This Feature

Overview

New Smart Form is a built-in creation feature in WPS Office Forms on macOS. It is used to start a new form from the Quick Start area and complete the initial setup. It fits scenarios where you need to build a collection form, survey, or business intake form quickly.

Core tasks include:

  • Open the New Smart Form entry: enter the creation flow from the Quick Start area in the form editor.
  • Set options and finish creation: configure related settings, preview the result, and confirm the setup.

This feature works well for event registration, information collection, and internal process intake.
It helps reduce the steps needed to build a form from scratch and makes it easier to review the setup before finishing.
The experience keeps creation and preview in one continuous workflow inside the form editor.
