About This Feature

Overview

Find Content is a multidimensional table action in the WPS Office automation editor on Windows. It is used to locate records that match selected conditions in a target table and pass the result to later automation steps.

Core tasks include:

Select the action: add the Find Content action in the automation editor and open its parameter settings.
Configure search parameters: choose a table, define the search scope, select search fields, and decide what happens if no content is found.

This feature is useful for filtering records by condition, passing dynamic values to later steps, and controlling branch behavior in an automation flow.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In the automation editor, you can choose a target table, set the search scope, select at least one search field, and decide whether to continue or stop the current branch when no match is found.	Power Automate provides the Search rows action for retrieving indexed Dataverse rows by keyword, with search type, search mode, and advanced filtering options.	AppSheet provides the Find action to read existing table records and supports Selector expressions for filtering, ordering, and limiting returned rows.	Notion databases support table views, filters, sorts, groups, and database search to narrow visible results by property conditions.	Acrobat focuses on collecting and exporting PDF form data, including exporting responses to spreadsheet or XML formats, rather than table-based automation lookup.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps table selection, scope setting, field selection, and no-match handling in one automation step. Distinct: the result can move directly into later flow branches.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses more on Dataverse keyword search and depends on a Dataverse environment with prerequisite setup.	Compared with WPS: Google focuses more on API-based record reading and selector expressions for app data scenarios.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on database views and filtering in a workspace, not on a dedicated automation-step lookup action.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF form response collection and export, not on the same kind of multidimensional table lookup flow.

Overall Conclusion
For workflows that need to find matching records in a multidimensional table and continue with later automation steps, WPS provides a more direct flow-oriented setup. Microsoft and Google both offer record retrieval capabilities, but they are more closely tied to their own data platforms or API models, while Notion and Adobe are better suited to database organization or PDF form data handling.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable for	Main challenge	How Find Content helps
1	Find customer records by condition	Operations staff	They need to locate matching customer information during a flow	Select a target table, define the scope, and search by chosen fields
2	Control branch behavior	Flow designers	They need different behavior when no record is found	Use the no-match option to continue or stop the current branch
3	Pass results to later steps	Data processing staff	The lookup result must be reused later in the flow	Use the returned result as a dynamic value in later actions
4	Limit the lookup range	Form or workflow admins	They only want to search within a specific record set	Choose all records, filtered records, or the record triggered in Step 1
5	Prepare multi-field lookup logic	Team collaborators	They need to define lookup fields before saving the flow	Select at least one field in the Find Content setting
