About This Feature

Overview

Create and Delete Data Tables is a Smart Forms management feature in WPS Office for iOS. It lets you add a new data table inside the current smart spreadsheet or remove a table that is no longer needed. This is useful for structured records such as project trackers, customer lists, and task logs.

Core capabilities include:

Create a data table: add a new table from the data table tab bar at the top of the screen.
Delete a data table: remove an existing table from the current smart spreadsheet.

This feature is helpful when you need to maintain multiple structured tables in one file and keep the file layout organized on iPhone or iPad.

Capability Summary	In WPS Smart Forms on iOS, you can create a new data table from the top tab bar and delete an existing data table from its tab menu.	Excel supports inserting and deleting worksheets, and its iPhone app supports spreadsheet editing, but the workflow is centered on worksheet management.	Google Sheets on iPhone and iPad supports creating spreadsheets and deleting sheets from the sheet tab menu.	Notion lets you create a database table and delete pages or content, but it is oriented more toward database pages than spreadsheet-style table tabs.	Acrobat for iOS focuses on PDF viewing, editing, and sharing, and it does not provide a same-component workflow for creating and deleting spreadsheet data tables.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps both create and delete actions close to the top data table tab bar, which is convenient for quick structure changes on mobile.	Compared with WPS: Excel documents official support for worksheet insertion and deletion, but its official guidance is centered on worksheets rather than smart data-table structures.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets supports spreadsheet creation and sheet deletion, but its official iOS guidance remains focused on standard sheet management.	Compared with WPS: Notion databases are page-based and property-driven, so the workflow differs from direct spreadsheet-style data table management.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat for iOS has no same-component data table creation or deletion flow for spreadsheet content.

Overall Conclusion
If you mainly manage multiple structured tables inside a smart spreadsheet on iOS, WPS provides a more direct mobile workflow for adding and removing table structures. Excel and Google Sheets are closer to traditional worksheet management, Notion is more database-page oriented, and Acrobat is not a spreadsheet table management tool.
