About This Feature
Overview
Industry is a configuration feature in the Smart Form relay workflow of WPS Office for Mac. It is used to set industry information during relay creation and works together with preview, save, and publish steps in the same editing flow.
Core tasks include:
- Open the Industry setup entry in the relay editor.
- Adjust industry-related settings and preview the result.
- Save the configuration so the relay setup is kept for later use.
This workflow is suitable for event sign-ups, registration collection, business categorization, and information gathering scenarios where industry information needs to be organized before a relay is shared.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides an Industry entry inside the Smart Form relay workflow, where you can open the editor, adjust settings, preview, and save. | Microsoft Forms supports branching logic for questions and can send respondents to later questions or the end of the form, focusing on survey flow control. | Google Forms can send respondents to a specific section based on an answer, which is useful for section-based question flow. | Notion Forms connects questions to database properties and supports conditional logic on certain paid plans. | Adobe Acrobat Web Forms mainly focuses on public web forms for submission and e-sign related collection workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The Industry setup is placed directly in the relay creation flow, making it easier to configure, preview, and confirm in one editing path on Mac. | Compared with WPS: It focuses more on branching paths in surveys than on an industry setup step inside a relay workflow. | Compared with WPS: It is stronger for section routing, while industry-style business categorization is usually built indirectly through question structure. | Compared with WPS: It has stronger database linkage, but conditional logic is plan-dependent and form creation or customization is centered on desktop and web. | Compared with WPS: It is oriented more toward signing and submission workflows than relay-based industry setup. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to complete industry setup quickly inside a relay workflow on Mac, WPS offers a more direct editing path. The other products are better aligned with survey branching, database-backed forms, or e-sign web forms, so their primary focus is different from relay-based industry configuration.
