How-to Guide

1. Create and manage a local shortcut for a Smart Form

Entry: File Operation → Other Open Methods → Create Local Shortcut

  1. Open the target Smart Form in a browser or in the WPS client.
  2. Click File Operation in the upper-left area, or open the menu icon.
  3. Click Other Open Methods → Create Local Shortcut.
  4. Wait for WPS to generate and download the shortcut to your computer.
  5. Click Open Folder if you want to view the download location immediately.
  6. Click X if you want to remove the shortcut that has already been created.
  7. Find the shortcut on your desktop and double-click it to open the target Smart Form.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: The shortcut is downloaded successfully, and an option to open the folder is available.
  • Next action available: A desktop shortcut appears and can open the target Smart Form.
  • No unwanted impact: Removing the shortcut only removes the local entry and does not affect the original Smart Form.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: If the target Smart Form is not open first, you cannot create a shortcut for that current form.
  • Permissions: If your account no longer has access to the Smart Form, the shortcut may open but the content may not load.
  • Environment limits: Online Smart Forms require internet access. If the original form is deleted or your permission is removed, the shortcut will no longer work.
