Capability Summary	Provides a Global Settings entry in the exam workflow of Smart Forms, so you can open exam-level configuration from the form editor, adjust related settings, and preview the result before confirming.	Microsoft Forms lets you adjust form or quiz settings such as responders, deadlines, result display, and response options at the form or quiz level.	Google Forms lets you turn a form into a quiz and manage grade release, respondent visibility, and response restrictions in Settings.	Notion Forms lets you configure questions, required fields, sharing options, and submission behavior in the form builder, with some advanced logic available on paid plans.	Adobe Acrobat Sign Web Forms lets admins configure web form availability, email verification, CC options, preview behavior, and participant-related options.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The settings entry is part of the exam editing workflow in Smart Forms, which helps you complete exam setup and confirmation in one editing flow.	Compared with WPS: Focuses on general form and quiz settings in Microsoft Forms rather than an exam workflow inside the same editing environment.	Compared with WPS: Focuses on online quiz grading and respondent settings in a separate Google Forms environment.	Compared with WPS: Strong database-connected form workflows, but form creation and customization are centered on desktop and web apps.	Compared with WPS: Focuses on signing-oriented web form administration rather than exam configuration.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Global Settings is a practical fit for users who are already building an exam in WPS Smart Forms and want to manage setup in the same workflow. Other products also provide form-level settings, but they focus more on online quizzes, database-backed forms, or signing-oriented web forms.
