About This Feature

Overview

Field Management is a built-in management feature for smart table data tables in WPS Office on Android. It helps you maintain field structure and field visibility from a mobile device. With this feature, you can add fields, edit fields, reorder fields, hide fields, and delete fields in one place.

Main capabilities include:

Add fields: create new information columns for expanding records.
Edit fields: change field names and field types for a more consistent table structure.
Reorder fields: adjust field positions to match your business flow.
Hide fields: temporarily remove less important fields from the current view while keeping their data.
Delete fields: remove unused fields and the data stored in those columns.

This feature fits mobile scenarios such as field data collection, lightweight project tracking, shared records, and table cleanup when you need to adjust structure on the go.

Capability Summary	On Android, Field Management lets you add, edit, reorder, hide, and delete fields for smart table data tables.	Microsoft Lists documents adding, editing, moving, hiding, and deleting columns, but the official page says these features are not currently available on mobile.	Google Sheets on Android supports adding, moving, hiding, and deleting columns for spreadsheet column management.	Notion databases support creating, editing, deleting, and hiding properties, while column rearrangement is documented mainly for desktop or browser drag-and-drop.	Adobe Acrobat on mobile focuses on filling and editing PDF form content and Fill & Sign fields rather than data-table field management.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: one Android entry covers add, edit, reorder, hide, and delete actions for table fields. Distinct: the workflow is centered on field structure management inside a data table.	Compared with WPS: the official Microsoft Lists page says the matching column-management actions are not available on mobile.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets supports several column actions on Android, but the workflow is spreadsheet-column based rather than a dedicated data-table field management panel.	Compared with WPS: property management is available, but official guidance for rearranging columns is centered on desktop or browser use.	Compared with WPS: Adobe mobile tools are oriented to PDF forms, not structured data-table field maintenance.

Overall Conclusion
If you need to maintain data-table field structure directly on Android, WPS provides a more focused mobile workflow for this task. Other products in similar scenarios are more often centered on spreadsheet columns, desktop database management, or PDF form handling.

2	Header standardization	Project owners, table maintainers	Field names are inconsistent across collaborators	Edit field names and types for a clearer structure
3	Mobile view cleanup	Daily contributors	Too many fields make phone viewing harder	Hide less important fields while keeping the data
4	Workflow-based reordering	Team collaborators	Field order does not match the actual process	Reorder fields to improve viewing and entry flow
5	Removing outdated fields	Data maintainers	Old fields make the table structure harder to manage	Delete unused fields and clean up the table
