About This Feature

Overview

Field Management is a built-in structure management feature for smart table data sheets in WPS Office for Windows. It is designed for adding, editing, deleting, reordering, and hiding or showing fields while you organize a data table.

Main capabilities include:

Add a field to expand the table structure.
Edit an existing field when a name or setting needs to change.
Delete a field that is no longer needed.
Reorder fields by dragging them into a new position.

Capability Summary	Supports adding, editing, deleting, reordering, and hiding or showing fields from one Field Management panel in a smart table data sheet.	Microsoft Lists supports adding, editing, moving, hiding, and deleting columns for list-based data management on desktop.	Google Sheets supports adding, moving, deleting, and hiding columns in spreadsheets.	Notion databases support creating properties, editing properties, deleting properties, controlling property visibility, and rearranging columns in table view.	Adobe Acrobat supports adding, deleting, and configuring PDF form fields, which is a nearby form scenario rather than a table field workflow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS brings add, edit, delete, reorder, and visibility controls together in one panel, which is convenient for ongoing table structure maintenance.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft Lists covers similar column tasks, but the official page notes that these features are not currently available on mobile.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets focuses on spreadsheet column operations, with less emphasis on structured field settings in a dedicated management panel.	Compared with WPS: Notion offers flexible database properties, but the workflow is based on workspace databases rather than a spreadsheet-style smart table.	Compared with WPS: Adobe Acrobat is oriented toward PDF form design instead of structured data table field management.
