About This Feature
Overview
Gantt View Add and Delete Records is a task-maintenance feature in WPS Office for Android within a multidimensional table. It helps you add new records from the Gantt view, remove records you no longer need, and keep the project timeline updated on mobile.
Core tasks include:
- Add a record from the bottom toolbar for quick task entry while viewing the chart.
- Add a record from the lower-left area of the timeline when you want to continue entering nearby tasks.
- Delete a record from its detail page when a task was created by mistake or is no longer needed.
This feature is useful for project schedule updates, task backfilling, and timeline cleanup. It reduces switching between the Gantt view and other table views, and it helps new or deleted task bars reflect on the timeline more directly.

| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android, WPS lets you add records directly in a multidimensional table Gantt view and delete records from the record details page. New task bars appear on the timeline after creation. | Microsoft Project officially documents adding tasks and continuing task management in Gantt-related project workflows. Public guidance for similar flows is more focused on desktop or web. | Google Sheets on Android supports adding or deleting rows and columns for spreadsheet maintenance, but it is not a native Gantt view workflow. | Notion Timeline lets you add a timeline view to a database and adjust timeline items in a time-based database layout. | Adobe offers adjacent capability mainly through Workfront, where users can update tasks in a task-list Gantt chart and delete tasks in project management workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: Add and delete records directly inside the Android Gantt view. Distinct: Newly added records can appear as task bars on the same timeline view. | Compared with WPS: official guidance is more centered on Project desktop or web task management. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets focuses on row and column maintenance rather than native Gantt task-bar actions. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses more on database timeline management, with editing and deletion tied to database structure. | Compared with WPS: Adobe relies on Workfront for adjacent project-management capability rather than an Acrobat-based Gantt workflow. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to maintain task records directly from a Gantt view on Android, WPS provides a more concentrated mobile workflow for adding and removing records in one place. Other products cover adjacent needs, but many of those flows are centered on desktop, general spreadsheet editing, or a separate project-management platform.
