WPS iPad Form is a versatile tool that allows users to create and fill out forms on their iPad devices. Whether you are filling out a simple questionnaire or a complex document, WPS iPad Form provides a user-friendly interface to make the process efficient. One of the time-saving features of this app is the ability to automatically fill in the date. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to set up and use this feature.
Preparation Before Starting
Before you begin, ensure that you have the latest version of WPS iPad Form installed on your device. This ensures that you have access to all the latest features and improvements. Additionally, make sure that your iPad is connected to the internet, as some features may require an internet connection.
Creating a New Form
To start using the automatic date filling feature, you first need to create a new form. Open WPS iPad Form and tap on the + button to create a new form. You can choose from various templates or start from scratch. Once you have selected a template or started a new form, you can begin adding fields such as text boxes, checkboxes, and dropdown menus.
Adding the Date Field
To add a date field to your form, tap on the + button in the form editor and select Date from the list of field types. You can then customize the date field by setting a label, choosing the date format, and specifying any additional properties. This will ensure that the date field is clearly visible and easy to fill out.
Configuring the Automatic Date Filling
With the date field added to your form, it’s time to configure the automatic date filling feature. Tap on the date field to open its properties. Look for the option to enable automatic date filling. This option may be labeled differently depending on the version of the app, but it is typically found under the Behavior or Properties tab.
Setting the Date Format
When you enable the automatic date filling feature, you will be prompted to set the date format. Choose a format that suits your needs, such as MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY. This format will be used to automatically fill in the date field every time the form is opened.
Testing the Automatic Date Filling
Once you have configured the date field and set the date format, it’s important to test the automatic date filling feature. Open the form and observe whether the date is automatically filled in when you open the form. If it is not working as expected, double-check the settings and ensure that the internet connection is stable if required.
Saving and Sharing Your Form
After you have tested the automatic date filling feature and are satisfied with the results, save your form. You can then share the form with others by using the built-in sharing options in WPS iPad Form. This allows you to collect responses and data efficiently, knowing that the date will be automatically filled in for each submission.
By following these steps, you can easily set up and use the automatic date filling feature in WPS iPad Form. This not only saves time but also ensures consistency in the data collected from your forms.
