About This Feature

Overview

Gantt View Add/Delete Record is used to maintain task data directly in a Gantt-style timeline. It helps you add new rows for upcoming work, enter records quickly, and remove records that are no longer needed.

Core capabilities include:

Open the Add Record panel from the top toolbar and submit a fully filled record.
Use the bottom + button to add an empty row for faster entry.
Delete a record from the right-click menu and use Undo if a record is removed by mistake.

This workflow is useful for project scheduling, task tracking, campaign planning, and ongoing maintenance of collaborative tables.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In Gantt view, WPS lets you add a record from the top + Add Record panel, add an empty row from the bottom + button, and delete a record from the right-click menu.	Microsoft Project lets users add new tasks in the task list and continue organizing them in Gantt-related views.	Google Sheets offers timeline view and lets users create a timeline from source data, then edit the source row for each card.	Notion Timeline view adds a timeline to a database and plots pages that use date properties.	Adobe Workfront lets users create tasks in a project and delete single or multiple tasks.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps panel-based adding, quick bottom-row adding, and right-click deletion in one Gantt workflow, which is practical for frequent record maintenance.	Compared with WPS: task creation is clearly documented, but the workflow is centered on project-management structure rather than a lightweight table-style Gantt record flow.	Compared with WPS: timeline editing depends on source data rows, and the official page focuses on creating and editing the timeline view rather than a direct right-click delete flow inside the timeline.	Compared with WPS: the timeline is built on database pages and date properties, and deletion is generally page or content deletion instead of a Gantt record right-click action.	Compared with WPS: task creation and deletion are available, but access requirements and project permissions are more prominent in the official workflow.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to add, enter, and remove records from one Gantt view with fewer context switches, WPS provides a more concentrated workflow. Other products also support task or timeline management, but their official flows rely more on project structures, source tables, or database settings.

4	Maintaining shared tables	Collaborative teams	Records change often during teamwork	Add or remove records directly in Gantt view to keep the timeline organized
5	Adjusting temporary plans	Event planners and product teams	Old records need to be removed after schedule changes	Delete outdated records and use Undo when needed
