Capability Summary	Provides a centralized Filling Settings entry inside the Questionnaire module for adjusting parameters, previewing results, and saving changes.	Microsoft Forms provides settings for who can respond, one response per person, start and end dates, shuffled questions, progress bar, and response receipts.	Google Forms provides settings for limiting responses, allowing response edits, confirmation messages, response summaries, and publishing or sharing controls.	Notion Forms lets users configure required questions, descriptions, anonymous responses, sharing scope, and form builder options; conditional logic is limited to some paid plans.	Adobe Acrobat Sign Web Forms focuses on signable web forms with options such as email verification, participants, CCs, and save-progress controls.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The settings entry stays inside the questionnaire editing flow, which helps creators review response rules before publishing. Distinct: It supports an adjust-then-preview workflow for final checks before updates go live.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft Forms focuses more on response collection controls and audience management.	Compared with WPS: Google Forms places more emphasis on publishing, sharing, and responder permissions.	Compared with WPS: Notion Forms is tied to database structure, and some advanced logic depends on paid plans.	Compared with WPS: Adobe web forms are oriented more toward e-signature workflows than general questionnaire response settings.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Filling Settings is well suited when you are already building a questionnaire in WPS and want to review response rules in one editing flow.
