About This Feature

Overview

Filling Settings is used to manage how a questionnaire works for respondents in WPS Smart Forms. The entry is located in the Questionnaire section of the form editor. After opening it, you can adjust available settings, preview the result, and confirm the changes.

Core tasks include:

Open the Filling Settings entry from the form editor.
Adjust available response settings in the panel.
Preview the current filling effect before confirming.
Save the settings so the current configuration takes effect.

This workflow is useful for questionnaire setup, pre-publish checks, and later rule updates.

Capability Summary	Provides a Filling Settings entry inside the Questionnaire section of the Smart Forms editor, where you can open the settings panel, adjust parameters, preview the result, and confirm the changes.	Microsoft Forms provides a settings pane for response audience, one response per person, start and end dates, shuffle questions, and thank-you messages.	Google Forms provides settings for response limits, response editing, response summaries, and confirmation messages.	Notion Forms lets users configure required questions, question types, descriptions, submit-screen settings, and sharing options in the form builder.

Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes response management and post-submit presentation settings in a separate settings workflow.	Compared with WPS: Notion is closely tied to databases and web/desktop form building, with some editing limits on mobile devices.
