About This Feature
Overview
Level Field is a field type in WPS Office smart data tables on Windows. It helps you assign consistent levels to records and review grouped results by level. This is useful for customer tiers, task priority, service levels, risk levels, and other workflows that need fixed grading standards.
Core capabilities include:
- Create a level field: add a dedicated grading column to a data table.
- Set the number of levels: adjust how many level options are available.
- Group records by level: review record counts and distribution by level.
This feature is useful when you want more consistent data entry, less free-text variation, and faster table-based analysis in WPS Office on Windows.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | WPS lets you create a Level Field in a smart data table, set multiple levels, and group records by level for quick review. | Microsoft Lists supports Rating settings and can add Likes or Star Ratings to a list. | Google Sheets supports in-cell dropdown lists with multiple predefined items through data validation. | Notion databases support Select and Status properties with configurable options. | Adobe Acrobat supports form field properties such as list boxes, but no native table-style level field equivalent was identified on the official page. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS keeps level creation, level-count setup, and grouped review in one table workflow for structured grading scenarios. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses more on list rating behavior such as likes or stars. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets mainly relies on dropdown validation, and grouped analysis usually depends on additional formulas, filters, or views. | Compared with WPS: Notion works well for database tagging and status tracking, but level-style analysis depends more on database view setup. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF form fields rather than native data-table grading workflows. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Level Field is more directly aligned with structured grading inside a working data table. If your workflow needs a fixed level system that can be created and maintained in the same table, WPS offers a more focused path, while other products often approach similar needs through ratings, dropdowns, or form fields.
Use Cases
| # | Scenario | Target Users | Core Pain Point | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Customer tier management | Sales teams and customer success teams | Customer value labels are entered inconsistently, which makes filtering harder later | Use a Level Field to define fixed tiers such as Standard, Silver, and Gold |
| 2 | Task priority management | Project managers and execution teams | Priority descriptions vary from person to person | Use a Level Field to define Low, Medium, and High priority |
| 3 | Service level tracking | Operations teams and support teams | Service standards are hard to record consistently | Mark each record with a fixed service level |
| 4 | Risk level assessment | Review teams and risk control teams | Risk records are not graded with the same standard | Preset risk levels and use them for consistent entry |
| 5 | Quality inspection grading | Quality teams and production teams | Inspection results are hard to summarize quickly | Group records by level to review counts by grade |
