About This Feature

Overview

Kanban View Grouping Criteria in WPS on Android lets you choose a field as the grouping rule in a database board view, then automatically place cards into different columns based on field values. This makes it easier to review tasks by status, owner, priority, or other structured fields.

Core tasks include:

Add a grouping criterion to organize cards by one selected field.
Switch between saved grouping criteria to review the same records from different angles.
Keep the original records unchanged while only changing the board layout.

This workflow fits task boards, project tracking, status review, and categorized work management in WPS Office.

Capability Summary	In a WPS database Kanban view on Android, you can choose a field as the grouping criterion and automatically display cards in separate columns by field value.	Excel for Android has an official mobile help hub for spreadsheet tasks, but no directly corresponding official page for Kanban-style grouping criteria was identified.	Google Sheets on Android supports grouping, expanding, and collapsing rows or columns for spreadsheet structure management, rather than Kanban card columns.	Notion Board view groups database items by properties such as status, assignee, or priority, and also supports changing the grouping property and sub-groups.	Adobe Workfront Boards can group cards by assignee or tag and display them in swimlanes.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS focuses on mobile Kanban card grouping by field values inside the board view itself. Distinct: Switching grouping criteria changes the display structure without changing the original records.	Compared with WPS: the official Android Excel help page focuses on spreadsheet editing and does not document a directly equivalent Kanban field-grouping workflow.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets grouping is row-and-column based, not a board-style card grouping layout.	Compared with WPS: Notion also supports property-based grouping, but it is positioned as a database board workflow with a different setup path.	Compared with WPS: Adobe supports grouped board views, but the official grouping options highlighted are mainly assignees and tags.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Kanban View Grouping Criteria is well suited to mobile task review because it groups cards directly by field values inside the board view. Compared with spreadsheet row grouping, it is more board-oriented, while compared with database or project platforms, it keeps the workflow centered inside a WPS database view.
