About This Feature

Overview

Related Data is a built-in capability in WPS Office for Windows Smart Forms. It is used to configure and manage related data in the relay workflow, helping editors complete setup before publishing a form.

Core tasks include:

Open the Related Data entry: go from the form editor to the relay module and open Related Data.
Configure related data settings: complete the required settings in the pop-up panel.
Preview and confirm the result: check the effect before saving and confirming the setup.

This workflow is useful for form editors who want to manage related information in one editing flow and confirm the result before release.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Related Data entry inside the Smart Forms relay workflow, where editors can open the panel, configure settings, preview the result, and confirm the setup.	Microsoft Forms supports branching logic so questions can change based on earlier responses and route respondents to later questions or the end of the form.	Google Forms supports answer-based section routing so respondents can be sent to different sections based on selected answers.	Notion Forms connects questions to database properties, and conditional logic can show follow-up questions based on responses.	Adobe Acrobat web forms focus on publishing online forms from documents and collecting submissions or signatures.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the Related Data entry is part of the relay editing flow, so setup, preview, and confirmation can be completed in one place.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft highlights branching and section routing, but its public documentation does not describe a relay-style related-data setup panel.	Compared with WPS: Google focuses on section-based routing for simpler branching, rather than a relay configuration panel for related data.	Compared with WPS: Distinct in Notion is database-connected forms, while conditional logic is limited to Business and Enterprise plans.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is more focused on publishing and signing web forms than on relay-style related-data configuration.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Related Data is a practical fit for users already building Smart Forms in a relay workflow, because the entry, settings, preview, and confirmation steps stay in the same editing process. The alternatives listed here focus more on branching logic, database-backed forms, or online signing workflows, so their use cases are related but not identical.
