About This Feature
Overview
Message Notification Settings is a Smart Forms attendance configuration feature in WPS Office for Mac. It is used to adjust message reminder settings and control how those settings are saved and applied in the attendance workflow.
Core tasks include:
- Open the message notification settings entry from the form editor.
- Configure reminder parameters and preview the result before saving.
- Save the settings and, when needed, publish a new version so the updated rules apply to respondents.
This feature fits daily attendance check-ins, event sign-ins, team reminders, and recurring collection workflows. It helps form creators review reminder rules before publishing and reduces issues such as unsaved changes, unsuitable reminder timing, or updates that have not taken effect yet.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides a message notification settings entry in Smart Forms attendance scenarios, so creators can configure parameters, preview the effect, and save changes during editing. | Microsoft Forms lets authors turn on email notifications for each response and send reminders to people who have not responded. | Google Forms supports email notifications for new responses; more customized reminder flows often rely on add-ons or developer tools. | Notion Forms can send an email copy of each submission and can use automations to send status updates or Slack notifications. | Adobe Acrobat Sign Web Forms can notify related parties after workflow completion, with reminder features centered more on signing workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The settings entry stays inside the attendance editing flow, which is convenient for configuring, previewing, and saving reminder rules while building the form. | Compared with WPS: It focuses more on post-send notifications and reminder delivery, with less emphasis on editing-stage attendance reminder setup. | Compared with WPS: Native new-response notifications are straightforward, but more detailed reminder orchestration often needs extra tools. | Compared with WPS: Automation options are broader, but form notifications are tied more closely to databases and automation setup. | Compared with WPS: It is better aligned with signing and agreement workflows than with routine attendance collection. |

Overall Conclusion
