About This Feature
Overview
Kanban View Card Management is a board configuration feature in WPS Office for Android database views. It helps you adjust the card cover source, cover display style, and the fields shown on each card.
Key capabilities include:
- Create a cover: Use an image or attachment field as the card cover source, or add a new cover field.
- Adjust the cover style: Switch between fit and crop display modes.
- Add a field: Add more fields that should appear on the card.
- Edit a field: Change the field name and field type.
- Reorder fields: Drag fields to adjust the information hierarchy on the card.
- Hide fields: Temporarily hide fields and show them again when needed.
This feature is useful for task boards, project tracking, and team collaboration boards. With card management, teams can reduce visual clutter, highlight the most important information, and keep a consistent card layout for collaborators.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android, WPS lets you set card cover content, switch cover display style, add fields, edit fields, reorder fields, and hide fields in a board view. Dragging a card updates the related grouping field value, and card settings sync for collaborators. | Microsoft Planner for Android supports most Planner actions on mobile and can show a photo on a task card. The official Android help page does not describe the same level of card field visibility management as WPS. | Google Sheets can create kanban-style and card-based layouts with Sheets canvas, and supports drag-and-drop updates, but the official help page says canvas may not be available in the mobile Sheets app. | Notion board view supports grouping by property, drag-and-drop, image previews, property visibility, property order, and hidden columns. | Adobe Workfront Boards for mobile supports viewing boards, moving cards, editing card details, searching, and filtering, but you cannot create a new board in the mobile app. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides a direct Android entry for card cover, field visibility, and field order management. Advantage: The field order and hide controls are practical for quickly organizing a shared team board. | Compared with WPS: the official Android page focuses more on task handling and photo attachments, with less detail about card field display controls. | Compared with WPS: it offers board-style capabilities, but the official page notes that canvas may be unavailable in the mobile app, so mobile use is more limited. | Compared with WPS: property visibility and image preview are well documented, but the official page is written as general workspace guidance rather than an Android-specific board workflow. | Compared with WPS: mobile board actions are broad, but board creation is not available in the app and the product is centered on Workfront workflows. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS is especially suitable when you want to adjust card covers, visible fields, and field order directly on Android. Other platforms may fit broader project workflows, but for mobile card presentation management in a board view, WPS offers a more direct setup path.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main challenge | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Organizing a task status board | Project managers | Cards contain too much information and status is hard to scan | Hide fields and reorder fields so only key status information stays visible |
| 2 | Managing design asset flow | Design teams | Image-based tasks need to be recognized quickly | Use cover content and cover style settings to highlight image fields |
| 3 | Tracking sales leads | Sales teams | Different stages need different field emphasis | Add fields and edit field names to match the sales process |
| 4 | Keeping team views consistent | Collaborators | Team members see inconsistent card layouts | Use shared card settings so collaborators see the same layout |
| 5 | Making quick mobile adjustments | Mobile workers | The board needs updates when no desktop is available | Open card management directly on Android and finish the adjustment there |
