FAQ

What is the difference between a data table and a worksheet?

1. A data table is better suited to structured data management and can use field types, related references, and formulas.
2. A worksheet is closer to a traditional spreadsheet and is better for free-form layout and standard calculations.
3. If you need to manage record-based data, use a data table. If you need flexible spreadsheet editing, use a worksheet.

Does the data remain after I delete a data table?

1. No. When you delete a data table, its field settings and records are removed together.
2. This action cannot be reversed directly after deletion.
3. Before deleting, confirm that the data is no longer needed and back it up if necessary.

Can I rename a data table to a name that already exists?

1. No. Data table names in the same Smart Spreadsheet cannot be duplicated.
2. If you try to use an existing name, the app will show a name conflict prompt.
3. Use another available name and save again.
