About This Feature

Overview

Contacts is a configuration feature in the Smart Forms file collection workflow on Windows. It is used to set contact information while creating a file collection form, then review the result through preview and save the configuration. It fits workflows where you need to add contact details, check the collection setup before publishing, or return later to update the contact settings.

Core tasks include:

  • Open the Contacts entry: go from the form editor to the File Collection module and open Contacts.
  • Set and preview contact information: adjust the settings in the panel and review the result.
  • Edit saved contact settings later: return to the editor and update the saved configuration when needed.

Capability SummaryIn Smart Forms file collection workflows, WPS provides a Contacts entry so you can open the contact settings, adjust parameters, preview the result, and save in the editor.Microsoft Forms supports file upload questions with controls for file count, single file size, and file types. File upload is available only when the form is limited to people in the organization or specific people in the organization.Google Forms supports collecting email addresses, controlling access, adding questions, and previewing the form before sharing.Notion Forms can be created from scratch or from an existing database, support sharing inside or outside an organization, and include field types such as files & media.Adobe Acrobat Sign supports public web forms, participant configuration, base file upload, field authoring, and publishing through a public URL.
WPS AdvantagesAdvantage: Contacts is placed directly in the file collection creation flow, so opening the setting, previewing, and saving can happen in one editing path.Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses more on file upload rules and organization-based response controls, while contact-style information is usually designed through form fields.Compared with WPS: Google Forms is stronger for general form distribution and email collection, but contact information is usually built through question fields instead of a dedicated file collection contact setting.Compared with WPS: Notion offers broader form customization and database workflows, but contact configuration is not a dedicated entry inside a file collection flow.Compared with WPS: Adobe is more focused on signing-oriented web forms and participant flows rather than a contact setting path inside file collection editing.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to set contact information quickly during a file collection workflow, WPS keeps the entry point and editing path more focused. The other products are better aligned with general-purpose forms, broader database workflows, or signing-based web forms, so their setup paths and use cases are different.
