About This Feature

Overview

Message Notification Settings is a configuration feature in WPS Office for Mac Smart Forms questionnaires. It is used to manage reminder-related settings after a questionnaire is created. You can open this feature from the Questionnaire section in the form editor, adjust the available settings, preview the result, and save the configuration when you are ready.

This feature is useful when you need to collect questionnaire responses continuously, keep track of new submissions, or review reminder behavior before publishing. For form owners, it helps keep reminder setup in one editing flow and reduces the chance of missing a save or skipping a preview check.
