About This Feature

Overview

Contacts is a configuration feature under the Voting module in the Smart Form editor on Windows. It is used to set up and manage contact-related information during voting creation. When you create a vote, you can open the Contacts panel, adjust related settings, preview the result, and confirm the changes.

Core tasks include:

Open the Contacts entry from the Voting module.
Set and confirm contact-related options in the panel.
Edit the Contacts settings again after a vote has been created.

This workflow is suitable for survey voting, event sign-up voting, and internal feedback collection, where contact-related settings need to be managed in the same editing process.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Provides a Contacts entry inside the Smart Form voting workflow, where you can open a panel, configure related options, preview the result, and modify the settings later.	Microsoft Forms lets you choose who can respond, record names, limit one response per person, and receive email notifications for each response.	Google Forms lets you publish a form, choose responders, notify responders, collect email addresses, and control response access.	Notion Forms can capture a Respondent field, allow anonymous responses, and control who can fill out the form through sharing settings.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on distributing PDF or web forms, sending them to recipients by email, and collecting names and email addresses, rather than managing voting contacts inside a voting editor.
WPS Advantages	Distinct: The Contacts entry is placed directly in the voting creation flow. Advantage: It fits users who want to configure, preview, and revise settings in one editing interface.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses more on response scope, identity recording, and notification rules.	Compared with WPS: Google focuses more on publishing, sharing, and responder access control.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses more on database-connected forms and sharing controls.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is centered on PDF or web form distribution, so voting contact setup is not the main workflow.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to finish contact setup quickly while creating a vote, WPS offers a more direct entry point in the same editing flow. Other products place more emphasis on sharing, access control, or form distribution, which may fit different form management needs.
