About This Feature

Overview

Filling Settings is used to manage response rules in the check-in scenario of WPS Smart Forms. It is an important part of the check-in creation flow. After opening Filling Settings, you can adjust related options, preview the result, and save the configuration when it is ready.

Core tasks include:

Open the Filling Settings entry from the form editor.
Adjust response-related options in the settings panel.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Filling Settings entry in the Smart Forms check-in workflow, where you can adjust related options, preview the result, and save the configuration.	Microsoft Forms provides form settings for response access, start and end dates, and whether responses are accepted.	Google Forms lets owners manage responses, stop collecting responses, and set a close date or response limit.	Notion Forms lets users configure questions, required fields, descriptions, sharing scope, and submission behavior in a form builder connected to a database.	Adobe Acrobat Sign web forms focus on signable web form configuration, including participants, verification, and web form options.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The entry is directly placed in the Smart Forms check-in flow, which helps creators complete rule setup and preview in one workflow.	Compared with WPS: It focuses on general form response controls and does not specifically describe a check-in workflow.	Compared with WPS: It focuses more on published response management and closing conditions than on a check-in setup flow.	Compared with WPS: It offers broad form customization, but some advanced logic is limited to paid plans and the product centers on database-backed forms.	Compared with WPS: It is more aligned with signing and agreement collection than with check-in response settings.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Filling Settings is more closely aligned with the check-in setup flow inside Smart Forms, making it suitable for configuring response rules while building a form.
