Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Related Data entry point inside the smart form relay workflow, where you can open the editing panel, configure parameters, preview the result, and confirm the setup.	Microsoft Forms supports branching logic that sends respondents to later questions or sections based on answers, but the official page does not describe a native related-data configuration workflow.	Google Forms supports sending users to different sections based on answers, which works well for conditional questionnaires, but the official page does not describe database-style related-data setup.	Notion Forms are connected to databases, and relation properties can connect one database to another; conditional logic is only available on Business and Enterprise plans.	Adobe Acrobat Sign supports show/hide conditions for form fields in document workflows, but its official guidance focuses on conditional field behavior rather than related-data management in a form relay flow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS places the Related Data entry directly inside the relay editing flow, making it easier to open, configure, preview, and confirm in one path.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses on branching between questions or sections, and the official guidance does not present a dedicated related-data management entry.	Compared with WPS: Google focuses on section routing and conditional display, rather than a relay-oriented related-data configuration flow.	Compared with WPS: Notion offers stronger database relation modeling, but form conditional logic is plan-limited and form creation or customization is handled on desktop and web apps rather than a Mac relay editor flow.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is more focused on PDF and signing workflows with conditional fields, not on related-data setup inside a relay-style form editor.

Overall Conclusion: WPS Related Data is closely aligned with the smart form relay editing flow on macOS, especially when you want to open the feature, adjust settings, preview the result, and confirm changes in one place. Other products mainly emphasize branching, conditional field display, or database relations, which serve adjacent needs but follow different product paths.
