About This Feature

Overview

Auto Increment Table is a configuration feature in the Questionnaire area of WPS Smart Forms. It is used to set up and manage an incrementing table inside the form editor, making it easier to collect repeated rows of structured information during questionnaire design.

This feature is useful for these core tasks:

Open the Auto Increment Table entry point in the form editor.
Configure table-related settings in the editing panel.
Preview the result before confirming the setup.
Modify an existing Auto Increment Table after the questionnaire has been created.

Typical use cases include questionnaire data collection, repeated item entry, preview checks before publishing, and later adjustments for new submissions.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Auto Increment Table provides an entry point in Smart Forms questionnaires so you can configure settings, preview the result, and save the table during form design.	Excel includes a built-in data form that can add, find, change, and delete full rows in a range or table.	Google Forms can store responses in a linked Google Sheet, and Google Sheets automatically places the response data into a table structure.	Notion table view supports creating table views, bulk editing multiple rows, rearranging rows and columns, and running calculations on properties.	Acrobat mainly focuses on filling and signing PDF forms rather than spreadsheet-style row entry in a table editor.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS fits questionnaire editing more directly because the table is configured inside the form-design workflow and can be checked with preview before confirmation.	Compared with WPS: Excel focuses more on entering and maintaining existing table data than configuring an incrementing table inside a questionnaire editor.	Compared with WPS: Google relies on the connection between Google Forms and Google Sheets, with table data stored in the linked sheet.	Compared with WPS: Notion works well for database-style table management, but each row is fundamentally a page entry rather than a questionnaire field flow.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is centered on PDF form completion and signing, so it does not provide the same questionnaire table editing path.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Auto Increment Table is a closer fit for questionnaire design when you need to configure a repeatable table area directly in the form editor. The alternatives also provide table or form features, but they focus more on spreadsheet data entry, linked response storage, database management, or PDF form handling.

3	Check the display before publishing	Form designers	The final table layout may not match expectations	Preview the result before confirming the setup
4	Refine a live questionnaire later	Form maintainers	Table settings may need adjustment after creation	Reopen the editor and update the Auto Increment Table
5	Separate historical data from new submissions	Data managers	Changes may need to avoid affecting earlier submissions	Review the change scope and apply updates for new data logic
