About This Feature

Overview

Gantt View Grouping is a view organization feature in WPS Office for Android Smart Forms. It groups task bars automatically by the values in a selected field, making it easier to review and manage project tasks by category.

Its main capabilities include:

Add grouping: choose a field and organize tasks into grouped sections.
Expand or collapse groups: hide or show grouped tasks as needed.
Remove grouping: clear the current grouping condition and return to the default order.

This feature is useful for project schedule reviews, status checks, owner-based task tracking, and category-based planning. Grouping changes how tasks are displayed, but it does not change the timeline or delete task data.

Capability Summary	In the Android Smart Form Gantt view, WPS can add grouping by field, expand or collapse groups, and remove grouping conditions.	Microsoft Project can group tasks in task views such as Gantt Chart by one or multiple criteria.	Google Sheets can group rows or columns and let users expand or collapse them, but this is not Gantt-specific grouping.	Notion database views support grouping by property and sub-grouping, and timeline views can be used for project scheduling.	Adobe Workfront provides Gantt charts and supports filters, views, and grouping controls above the chart.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS lets users add, expand, collapse, and remove grouping directly inside a mobile Gantt view for quick task review.	Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on Project task views on desktop, and it does not describe an Android Gantt grouping path on that page.	Compared with WPS: grouping is centered on spreadsheet rows and columns rather than task bars in a Gantt timeline.	Compared with WPS: grouping depends on database view settings and is more database-oriented than direct mobile Gantt task-bar grouping.	Compared with WPS: official guidance emphasizes project-platform configuration and export workflows around the Gantt chart.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Gantt View Grouping is more closely aligned with mobile project review in a Gantt layout. Compared with spreadsheet grouping or database grouping, it is better suited to browsing task structure directly inside a Gantt view on Android.
