About This Feature

Overview

Data Dashboard is a configuration feature in the Smart Forms survey workflow of WPS Office for Mac. It is used to set up and manage how survey data is presented. After you open the form editor, you can find the Data Dashboard entry under the Survey section and complete setup, preview, and saving in the related panel.

Core tasks include:

Open the Data Dashboard entry: go from the form editor to the survey dashboard settings area.
Configure and preview the dashboard: adjust related settings in the panel and review the display result.
Save and apply the configuration: confirm the settings and save them for later use in the workflow.

This feature is useful for survey design, display preparation, and pre-publish checks, helping you manage dashboard settings during editing.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Data Dashboard entry inside Smart Forms surveys, where you can configure settings, preview the result, and save changes during editing.	Microsoft Forms lets users review response summaries, inspect individual responses, and open results in Excel for further analysis.	Google Forms provides response summaries, per-question and per-person views, and export to Google Sheets.	Notion can turn databases into dashboard views with widgets, but it is not a dedicated survey response dashboard workflow.	Adobe Acrobat Sign provides reports and data exports for agreement and web form data, with filtering and CSV export for later analysis.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The dashboard entry is part of the survey editing flow, so setup and preview can be completed while the survey is being configured.	Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on reviewing collected responses and exporting data, not on configuring a dashboard during survey editing.	Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on summaries, chart copying, and spreadsheet export rather than a separate dashboard configuration flow.	Compared with WPS: dashboard building depends on database views and widgets, which is flexible but not centered on survey dashboard setup.	Compared with WPS: the official workflow emphasizes reporting and export after data collection rather than dashboard configuration inside survey editing.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to handle data presentation settings while editing a survey, WPS keeps that path more centralized. The other products focus more on response review, database dashboards, or exported analysis after data has already been collected.
