About This Feature
Overview
Kanban View Card Management is a configuration feature in WPS Office for Windows multi-dimensional tables that helps you manage card cover sources, cover display style, and the fields shown on each card.
Main tasks include:
- Set a card cover by choosing a field and switching between Fit and Crop display styles.
- Hide or show fields so each card displays only the information you need.
- Edit or delete fields from the card management panel when the current board layout needs adjustment.
This setup is useful for project tracking, task follow-up, content workflows, and sales pipeline management, where teams need a clearer card layout and faster visual scanning.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Lets you set a card cover field, switch between Fit and Crop cover styles, and hide, show, edit, or delete fields from card management in a kanban view. | Planner lets each task card show a preview from a photo, file, link, checklist, or description on the board. | Google Sheets official help covers row and column visibility controls such as hide, group, and freeze, but it does not describe a native kanban card cover and field management feature in Sheets. | Notion board view supports card previews, Fit image, property visibility controls, and drag-and-drop card ordering. | Adobe Workfront Boards lets you hide or show card fields and add existing custom fields to cards, but new custom fields are not created inside a board. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS brings cover selection, cover style, and field visibility into one card management panel. Distinct: It also provides a direct path to edit or delete fields while adjusting the current board view. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses more on task preview content, and the cited page does not present the same combined field-display management flow in one panel. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets does not present a native same-component kanban card management entry in the cited help content. | Compared with WPS: Notion offers flexible property and image preview controls, but field editing depends on database property settings. | Compared with WPS: Adobe supports field visibility control, but custom fields must already exist in Workfront before they can be added to cards. |
| Official Source | — | Set a preview picture for a task | Freeze, group, hide, or merge rows & columns | Board view | Customize which fields are displayed on a card |
Overall Conclusion: If you want to adjust card covers and visible fields directly inside the current kanban view, WPS provides a more centralized setup path. Notion and Adobe also support card display customization, while Google Sheets is better aligned with spreadsheet layout control than native kanban card management.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main issue | How this feature helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Project board cleanup | Project managers, team leads | Cards contain too much information to scan quickly | Hide secondary fields and keep only key items such as owner and due date |
| 2 | Content workflow tracking | Operations and editorial teams | Card covers look inconsistent across tasks | Choose one cover field and apply Fit or Crop for a more consistent layout |
| 3 | Sales pipeline review | Sales and customer success teams | Too many fields make lead review slower | Show only customer name, stage, owner, and other key fields |
| 4 | Design schedule planning | Design and marketing teams | Image previews are inconsistent across cards | Set an image-based cover and choose the cover style that fits the content |
| 5 | Lightweight process setup | Individual users and small teams | The board layout needs quick changes without repeated table redesign | Adjust visible fields and related card display settings from one panel |
