About This Feature

Overview

Message Notification Settings is a configuration feature in the Relay module of WPS Office Smart Forms on macOS. It is used to manage reminder-related settings together with relay publishing and later response collection workflows.

Core tasks include:

  • Open the Message Notification Settings entry: go to the Relay module in the form editor and locate the setting.
  • Adjust reminder parameters: update the available options in the panel for the current form.
  • Preview and confirm the result: review the current setup before saving.
  • Save and apply the updated setup: save the settings and publish a new version when needed for later responses.

This feature is useful for event sign-up relays, information collection, registration workflows, and other form scenarios that need centralized reminder setup during editing.
