About This Feature

Overview

Filling Settings is a configuration area in the Smart Form editor of WPS Office for Mac. It is used in the relay workflow to manage how participants fill in content, how settings are confirmed, and how the updated setup takes effect. After you open the form editor, you can go to the Relay section in the left navigation pane, open Filling Settings, and then complete the setup, preview, and save process in one editing flow.

The main tasks include:

Open Filling Settings from the relay workflow.
Adjust filling-related parameters in the settings panel.
Preview the current setup before saving.
Save the updated settings so they apply to later submissions.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Filling Settings entry inside the Smart Form relay workflow, so you can adjust parameters, preview the result, and confirm the setup in the editor.	Microsoft Forms provides a settings pane for response scope, start and end dates, progress bar, thank-you message, and other form controls.	Google Forms provides settings for response limits, edit-after-submit, summary visibility, confirmation messages, and section-based branching.	Notion Forms lets users configure titles, descriptions, required questions, question types, submit-screen options, sharing, and response access.	Adobe Acrobat Sign Web Forms supports configuration for email verification, additional participants, save-progress behavior, and PDF preview options.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Filling Settings is placed directly in the relay creation flow, which helps you move from setup to preview and confirmation in one editing path.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft Forms focuses on general survey and quiz response controls rather than a relay-style filling setup inside the same workflow.	Compared with WPS: Google Forms emphasizes publishing, sharing, and response controls, while relay-style filling settings are organized differently.	Compared with WPS: Notion offers broad form configuration, but conditional logic is limited to Business and Enterprise plans.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses more on signable web forms and verification workflows than on relay-style collection settings.

Overall Conclusion
If you need to configure filling rules while creating a relay in the same editing flow, WPS offers a more direct path. Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe all provide official form settings capabilities, but their focus is broader response control, publishing and sharing, database-backed forms, or signing workflows.
