About This Feature

Overview

Global Settings is a configuration feature in the Relay section of Smart Forms on Mac. It is used to manage shared settings for a relay flow from one place during form creation.

Core tasks include:

Open the Global Settings entry: go to the Relay section in the form editor and open the Global Settings panel.
Adjust shared settings: update the available settings in the panel based on the current relay scenario.
