About This Feature

Overview

Form View in WPS converts the fields in a current table into fillable questions for data collection. It is suitable for registrations, information intake, questionnaires, and other lightweight collection workflows on Windows.

Core tasks include:

Create a form view from an existing table.
Remove fields that should not appear in the form.
Reorder fields by dragging them.
Mark fields as required before submission.
Add more fields from the question list.
Manage collection settings such as pausing responses and setting start or end times.

This workflow is useful when you want to keep form responses connected to the same table used for organizing the data.

Capability Summary	Form View can create a form directly from a table, then supports removing fields, adding fields, dragging to reorder, marking fields as required, and managing pause/start/end collection settings.	Microsoft Forms supports response settings, start and end dates, and controls for accepting responses.	Google Forms supports editing questions, turning required on, stopping response collection, and setting a close date or response limit.	Notion Forms can be created from a database, supports adding questions, marking them required, and syncing with database properties.	Adobe Acrobat web forms focus on publishing web forms, editing them, and applying field validation rules.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS Form View starts from the current table, so the form and collected results stay tied to the same data structure. Distinct: field removal, field addition, ordering, and collection timing are handled in one editing flow.	Compared with WPS: public documentation focuses more on standalone form settings and response controls, rather than generating a form from an existing table view.	Compared with WPS: public guidance covers mature standalone form editing and response controls, but not a table-driven form workflow.	Compared with WPS: it also connects forms with a database, but creation and customization are described mainly in desktop and web workflows.	Compared with WPS: Adobe emphasizes web-form publishing, editing, and validation for signing-related scenarios rather than a table-based collection workflow.

Overall Conclusion
If your workflow already starts from a table, WPS Form View is a practical way to turn existing fields into a collection form and keep the results in the same data structure. Other products also provide form features, but their public guidance places more emphasis on standalone forms, database forms, or validation and signing workflows.
