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.
