Overview

Message Notification Settings is a configuration feature in the Survey area of WPS Office Smart Forms on Windows. It is used to set up and manage how notifications work after a form is submitted.

Save the settings and apply them: confirm the changes and save them. If needed, publish a new version so the changes take effect for respondents.
