Core capabilities include:

Open the Relay Settings entry and enter the configuration panel.
Access the parameter editing area and review available options.
Adjust relay-related settings for the current scenario.

Capability Summary	Relay Settings in WPS Smart Forms lets you open the relay settings panel, adjust related parameters, preview the result, and save changes. Some updates take effect for new data after publishing.	Microsoft Forms provides settings for response scope, start and end dates, progress bar, thank-you message, and other form or quiz options for general collection workflows.	Google Forms lets you review form settings, limit responses, allow response editing, show response summaries, customize confirmation messages, and publish the form for responders.	Notion Forms lets users create forms connected to databases, set required questions, add descriptions, allow anonymous responses, manage sharing scope, and use conditional logic on eligible plans.	Adobe Acrobat web forms focuses on e-sign web forms, where users can edit and manage web forms, but the workflow is not a direct match for everyday relay-style information collection.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps relay setup, preview, and confirmation close to the relay creation flow, which is convenient for users who want to finish setup in one editing path.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft Forms focuses on general form and quiz settings rather than a relay-specific collection flow.	Compared with WPS: Google Forms emphasizes publishing, sharing, and response controls more than a relay-oriented workflow.	Compared with WPS: Notion offers strong database-based form customization, but its official guidance centers on desktop and web editing for form creation and customization.	Compared with WPS: Adobe Acrobat web forms is positioned more for signing and web form management than for relay-style collection scenarios.

Overall Conclusion: For users who want to configure relay settings, preview the result, and save changes directly on Mac, WPS provides a focused workflow inside Smart Forms. Microsoft, Google, and Notion all provide official form-setting capabilities, but they emphasize general forms, publishing controls, or database-backed forms. Adobe Acrobat is closer to e-sign web forms than to relay-style collection.
