About This Feature

Overview

Field Management is a built-in multidimensional table feature in WPS Office for Windows that helps you review and maintain all fields in the current table from one panel.

Core tasks include:

View the full field list in one place.
Search for a target field by name.
Show or hide fields as needed.
Edit a field from its action menu.
Delete a field you no longer need.
Drag fields to reorder them.
Add a new field from the bottom of the panel.

This workflow is useful when you need to organize business records, simplify a shared view, or maintain a table with many fields. A single management panel can reduce repeated column-by-column navigation and make field updates easier to complete in batches.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Centralizes field review in one panel and supports search, show or hide, edit, delete, drag-to-reorder, and add field actions.	Microsoft Lists supports adding, editing, moving, hiding, and deleting columns on desktop.	Google Sheets supports adding, moving, deleting, and hiding columns, with actions spread across header and context menus.	Notion databases support creating properties, searching properties, editing properties, hiding or showing properties, and deleting properties.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF form fields, including adding fields, deleting fields, and setting field properties, rather than a table field management panel.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Search, visibility control, editing, deletion, reordering, and adding fields are grouped in one panel, which is practical for tables with many fields.	Compared with WPS: Column management is available, but the workflow depends more on column headers and settings menus.	Compared with WPS: Spreadsheet column actions are available, but field search and centralized management are not grouped into one panel.	Compared with WPS: Property management is flexible, but it is oriented toward page-based databases rather than the same table field workflow.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is better aligned with PDF form design than table field maintenance.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Field Management is well suited to users who want one entry point for several field maintenance tasks in a multidimensional table. Microsoft, Google, and Notion provide related column or property controls, but their entry points and object models differ. Adobe’s official workflow is closer to PDF form field editing than table field management.
