About This Feature
Overview
Hyperlink is a field type in WPS Office smart tables on iOS. It is used to store and display URL links so you can open web pages or other online resources directly from a table record.
Core tasks include:
- Create a Hyperlink field: set a column to the Hyperlink field type in the header editor for structured link entry later.
- Enter display text and a link address: fill in the visible text and the target URL in record details so the content can be recognized as a clickable link.
This feature fits scenarios such as resource collection, project tracking, and customer information management. It keeps descriptive text and the destination URL in the same record, which makes link management easier on iPhone or iPad.
