About This Feature

Overview

Message Notification Settings helps form creators configure notification-related options in Smart Forms exam scenarios. It supports the editing flow from opening the setting entry to previewing the result and saving the final configuration.

Core tasks include:

Open the Message Notification Settings entry from the exam module.
Adjust notification-related options and preview the result.
Save the settings and publish a new version when required for respondent-side changes to take effect.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Message Notification Settings entry inside the Exam module of Smart Forms, where creators can configure options, preview the result, and save changes during the editing flow.	Microsoft Forms lets users turn on email notifications for each response and manage reminders from sharing or settings areas.

Notion Forms lets users receive an email copy of each submission and build automations for notifications.

WPS Advantages	Advantage: The setting entry is placed directly in the exam workflow, making it easier to configure, preview, and save notification settings in one editing path.	Compared with WPS: It focuses more on response notifications and reminders, with less exam-specific module context in the official guidance.	Compared with WPS: It supports response notification emails, but the official flow is centered on response management rather than an exam-specific notification panel.	Compared with WPS: It supports email copies and automations, but form creation and customization are mainly described for desktop and web apps.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to configure notifications directly inside an exam editing workflow, WPS keeps the entry point more centralized. The other products also provide notification features, but their official guidance focuses more on response emails, automations, or signing workflows.
