About This Feature

Overview

Table Components are a table-view feature in WPS Office for macOS dashboards. They are used to display complete records and detailed data in a dashboard. You can add a table from the component panel, edit or remove an existing table, and configure the table with a data source, record filters, fields, sorting, grouping, and row height.

This feature is useful when you need to review detailed records, supplement chart-based analysis, or organize dashboard data in a structured list. It helps present information that is not easy to show completely in a chart.

Capability Summary	Add a table component to a dashboard and configure its data source, record filters, fields, sorting, grouping, and row height in one place.	Microsoft Word supports sorting table contents by column, data type, and order, but the official page focuses on sorting tables inside documents.	Google Docs supports adding and editing tables, sorting rows, moving rows and columns, and pinning header rows, with an emphasis on document tables.	Notion table views are database views that support filters, sorts, groups, and property-based table layouts.	Adobe InCopy supports selecting table cells, rows, and columns, and inserting rows and columns for document layout workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS combines data source selection, filtering, field display, sorting, grouping, and row height settings in one dashboard table component workflow.	Compared with WPS: the official Microsoft page highlights document-table sorting rather than dashboard component configuration.	Compared with WPS: the official Google page focuses more on document table editing and row sorting than dashboard-based data components.	Compared with WPS: Notion provides database views, while WPS is more directly focused on configuring a dashboard table component for record display.	Compared with WPS: Adobe official guidance here centers on publishing-style table editing rather than dashboard table component setup.
