About This Feature

Overview

WPS Record is a record-setting feature in the smart form editor on Windows. It is used to configure how relay records are handled during creation, preview the result before confirming, and adjust the settings again later when needed.

Core tasks include:

Open Record settings: enter the Relay section in the form editor and open the Record entry.
Configure and confirm record options: set parameters in the pop-up panel, preview the result, and save the settings.
Edit an existing record setup: return to the editor after a relay has been created and update the record settings again.

This workflow is useful for event sign-ups, information collection, team relay tasks, and other forms that need ongoing record management.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In the Windows smart form editor, you can open the Relay section, configure Record settings, and preview the result before saving.	Microsoft Forms supports branching logic so questions can move respondents to later questions or to the end of the form based on answers.	Google Forms supports publishing and sharing forms, limiting users to one response, allowing response edits, and showing response summaries.	Notion Forms connect questions to database properties so responses can be collected and analyzed directly in a database.	Adobe Acrobat web forms support turning documents into online forms, publishing them online, and tracking form status and signature progress.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The Record entry is part of the relay creation flow, so setup, preview, and later adjustments can stay in one editing workflow on Windows.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses more on branching paths between questions than on a relay-style record configuration flow.	Compared with WPS: Google focuses more on publishing, sharing, and response controls than on a relay-style record setup flow.	Compared with WPS: Notion connects responses deeply with databases, while conditional logic is limited to paid plans.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses more on web publishing and e-signature workflows than on relay record configuration.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to configure, preview, and maintain relay record settings inside a Windows smart form workflow, WPS is more closely aligned with that scenario. The other products also provide official form features, but they focus more on branching, publishing, database-linked responses, or signature-based web forms.
