- Automatically generate form fields based on the fields in the current table view.
- Sync submitted form data back to the same data table and other related views.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On iOS, WPS lets you open a multi-dimensional table, create a Form View from the view list, generate fields from the current table view, and sync submitted records back to the same table. | Microsoft Forms lets users create a form, add question types, and preview the form, with a workflow centered on standalone form creation and collection. | Google Forms lets users create online forms, send them to respondents, and review responses and analysis, with a workflow centered on standalone forms. | Notion Forms connects forms to databases, where questions map to database properties; official guidance notes that creating and customizing forms is done on desktop and web apps. | Adobe Acrobat web forms focus on publishing web forms and collecting filled or signed responses, with an emphasis on web distribution and e-sign workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS can turn an existing multi-dimensional table view into a mobile-friendly entry form and keep the submitted data in the same table used by other views. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft Forms focuses on a separate form product flow rather than a form view generated directly from the same multi-dimensional table on mobile. | Compared with WPS: Google Forms focuses on standalone form sharing and response analysis rather than switching within the same multi-dimensional table view structure. | Compared with WPS: Notion has clear database-linked forms, but its official help states that creating and customizing forms cannot currently be done on mobile devices. | Compared with WPS: Adobe Acrobat web forms are better aligned with web publishing and signature collection than with record entry inside a multi-dimensional table view on mobile. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to enter data on iOS directly from an existing multi-dimensional table, WPS Form View provides a more table-connected workflow. If your priority is standalone surveys, web form publishing, or e-sign processes, the other products also provide relevant options, but their data structure and usage flow are different.
Use Cases

| 2 | On-site information capture | Sales, field teams, researchers | Editing many columns in a table is inconvenient on mobile | Use Form View for record-by-record entry |
| 3 | Survey data backfill | Operations and admin teams | Need to add offline responses into a data table | Enter data in Form View and sync it back automatically |
| 4 | Customer profile intake | Support staff and consultants | Need a fixed field order to reduce missed entries | Form fields follow the current table view by default |
| 5 | Daily mobile reporting | Team members | Wide tables are harder to fill in on a phone | Switch to Form View for single-record entry |
