About This Feature

Overview

Auto Increment Table is a setup feature in the Questionnaire module of the Smart Forms editor on Windows. It is used to add and manage a table area that can keep expanding with submitted data inside a questionnaire. After setup, you can configure related options, preview the result, and save it for later form collection.

Core tasks include:

Open the Auto Increment Table entry: go to the Questionnaire module in the form editor and open the Auto Increment Table option.
Configure related settings: complete field or display settings in the pop-up panel.
Preview the result: check the table layout and interaction before saving.
Save and publish for use: save the setup and publish when needed so new submissions follow the updated configuration.

This feature is useful for event registration details, equipment or asset records, and repeated-item questionnaire entry. It helps reduce repeated field creation and lets one questionnaire collect multiple rows of similar data. In the WPS Office workflow, the entry stays close to questionnaire editing, which is convenient when you want to design, preview, and adjust in one place. Users looking for how to use WPS Auto Increment Table on Windows can start from the Questionnaire module and complete setup in the same editing flow.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides an Auto Increment Table entry inside Smart Forms questionnaires so you can open the editor, configure settings, preview, and save.	Excel includes a built-in data form that can add, find, change, and delete complete rows in a range or table.	Google Forms can store responses in a linked Google Sheet, where Google Sheets automatically places the data in a table.	Notion Forms connect questions to database properties, and responses stay in a database table.	Acrobat focuses on filling and signing PDF forms and is designed for document forms rather than spreadsheet-style table entry.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the setup entry is directly inside the questionnaire editing flow; Distinct: it supports a configure-then-preview workflow for form design.	Compared with WPS: it is more focused on maintaining existing spreadsheet rows than configuring a questionnaire table block in the same editor.	Compared with WPS: the workflow usually depends on Google Forms plus a linked Sheet instead of questionnaire table setup in one editing surface.	Compared with WPS: it is more database-centered for collection and follow-up organization.	Compared with WPS: it is centered on PDF form completion and does not provide the same questionnaire table setup flow.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to design a questionnaire that can collect repeated rows of structured data, WPS keeps the setup flow closer to questionnaire editing. Other products can also support form or data collection, but their workflows are more oriented toward spreadsheet maintenance, database management, or PDF form handling.
