About This Feature

Overview

Related Collection Sheet is a data collection feature in WPS Smart Spreadsheet on Windows. It lets you connect a form to the current sheet, share the form link with teammates or external users, and collect submitted data directly into the spreadsheet. Submitted content syncs to the current sheet automatically for ongoing review and consolidation.

Its main capabilities include:

Create a related collection sheet: use the current header row to generate a new collection form, or connect an existing published collection form.
Manage collected data: view submissions in the right-side panel, with data filled into matching columns together with submitter details and submission time.
Edit or remove the connection: reopen the connected collection form for editing, or cancel the current connection.

This workflow is useful for registrations, information gathering, team reporting, and other spreadsheet-based collection scenarios.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Connect a collection form directly inside Smart Spreadsheet, generate a form from sheet headers or link an existing one, and sync submissions back to the current sheet automatically.	Microsoft Forms can show response data in an Excel workbook stored in OneDrive or SharePoint.	Google Forms can store responses in a linked Google Sheet, including a new sheet or an existing one.	Notion Forms connect to databases, and responses are stored in a Responses table view with mapped properties.	Adobe Acrobat web forms support creating, publishing, and tracking online forms for data collection and signing workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The connection, sharing flow, and synced results stay close to the spreadsheet interface, which fits ongoing collection around an existing sheet.	Compared with WPS: the workflow depends on coordination between Forms and Excel rather than staying in one spreadsheet view.	Compared with WPS: the form and the spreadsheet are mainly managed in separate Google Forms and Google Sheets interfaces.	Compared with WPS: the workflow is database-centered rather than a traditional cell-based spreadsheet workflow.	Compared with WPS: the product focus is online forms and signature tracking instead of spreadsheet-first data sync.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to keep collecting and organizing responses around an existing spreadsheet, WPS Related Collection Sheet fits a spreadsheet-centered workflow more closely. Other products also support form collection, but they differ in how forms connect to data tables, how responses are organized, and where the main workflow takes place.
