About This Feature
Overview
Gallery View Card Management helps you control the cover source, cover effect, and visible fields of cards in gallery view, so records in a database can be presented in a more visual card layout.
Core tasks include:
- Set a field as the card cover and switch between Fit and Crop cover effects.
- Show or hide fields on cards to simplify the information hierarchy.
- Edit field settings or delete fields from the field management area.
This feature is useful for product catalogs, asset libraries, project boards, and image-based record browsing where card presentation matters.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In gallery view, WPS lets you set a card cover field, switch cover effects, and manage visible card fields from one panel. | Microsoft Lists and SharePoint gallery views support custom card layouts and field value presentation, with more emphasis on formatting configuration. | Google Sheets supports images in cells and alignment controls for spreadsheet display, but it does not provide a comparable gallery card management panel. | Notion gallery view supports card preview settings, Fit image, and property show, hide, and order controls. | Adobe Acrobat mainly provides PDF form field properties rather than native gallery-style card management for database records. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS keeps cover, effect, and field controls together in the gallery view toolbar for direct visual adjustment. | Compared with WPS: customization is available, but common workflows rely more on formatting or designer-style configuration. | Compared with WPS: the workflow focuses on images inside cells instead of card-based record browsing. | Compared with WPS: similar preview and property controls are available, but field editing and deletion depend more on database settings menus. | Compared with WPS: the product focus is PDF forms rather than gallery-style data cards. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS is focused on everyday card presentation adjustments inside gallery view, with a centralized entry for cover and field controls. Notion offers a closely related gallery workflow, Microsoft emphasizes configurable layouts, and Google plus Adobe are adjacent rather than directly equivalent options for this scenario.
