About This Feature

Overview

After Submission is a setting in the Questionnaire scenario of WPS Smart Forms on macOS. It is used to manage the post-submission experience after a respondent sends a form. From the form editor, you can open this option in the Questionnaire section and complete the related setup.

The main tasks include:

  • Open the After Submission settings from the form editor.
  • Adjust the related post-submission options in the settings panel.
  • Preview and confirm the final effect before saving or publishing.
