About This Feature

Overview

Field Management in WPS Office for iPhone and iPad helps you maintain the structure of a smart table by managing its fields in one place.

Core actions include:

Add a field to create a new information column.
Edit a field to update its name or field type.
Reorder fields to match your workflow and keep collaborators aligned.
Hide a field to simplify the current view while keeping its data.

It is useful for project trackers, customer records, and mobile inspection logs.

It helps reduce repeated structure edits on a small screen and keeps field order consistent for collaborators.

A practical advantage is that common structure changes are grouped in the same field management panel.

Capability Summary	On iOS, WPS supports adding, editing, reordering, and hiding fields from a dedicated field management entry for smart tables.	Microsoft Lists documentation says users can add, edit, move, hide, and delete columns, but the same page notes these features are not currently available on mobile.	Google Sheets help for iPhone and iPad covers adding, moving, deleting, and hiding rows and columns in spreadsheets.	Notion databases support creating, editing, and hiding properties, while its layouts help notes that mobile devices can customize layouts and fuller layout building is centered on desktop and web.	Adobe Acrobat mobile focuses on filling existing forms, while field authoring and editing belong to Acrobat form creation workflows rather than mobile table field management.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS groups common field structure actions in one iOS panel for smart tables, including reorder and hide actions in the same workflow.	Compared with WPS: the official Microsoft page says comparable column-management features are not currently available on mobile.	Compared with WPS: Google supports column operations on iPhone and iPad, while WPS focuses this workflow on smart table field management inside one dedicated entry.	Compared with WPS: Notion supports property and layout adjustments, but fuller layout building is centered on desktop and web.	Compared with WPS: Adobe mobile is oriented to PDF form filling and document workflows rather than the same kind of mobile table field management flow.

Overall Conclusion

WPS is a closer fit for mobile smart table field maintenance on iPhone and iPad. Other products may support general column operations, desktop-centered layout building, or different document scenarios rather than the same in-app field management flow.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable For	Pain Point	How Field Management Helps
1	Adding customer record fields	Sales and support teams	A table needs a new column for contact details or follow-up tags	Add a field directly from the field management panel
2	Refining inspection table fields	Field staff and operations teams	Unclear field names make mobile entry harder	Edit the field name or type for clearer input
3	Reordering headers for review	Project owners and collaborators	Important fields are not in a practical viewing order	Reorder fields to match the working sequence
4	Simplifying the mobile view	Mobile users	Limited screen space makes secondary fields distracting	Hide fields that are not needed for the current view
