About This Feature

Overview

Modify View Name is a view management feature in WPS Office for Windows multidimensional tables. It helps you rename existing views so the view title reflects its purpose more clearly during filtering, sorting, and collaboration.

Core tasks include:

Double-click a view name to enter edit mode for quick renaming.
Use the three-dot menu next to a view name to rename it while reviewing other view actions.
Use the right-click menu to rename a view through a context menu workflow.

This feature is useful for team collaboration, multi-view management, and organizing data views by purpose. After a view is renamed, collaborators will see the updated name.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports renaming a view directly from the left navigation pane in a multidimensional table through double-click, a three-dot menu, or a right-click menu.	Microsoft Lists lets users edit list views and enter a new name when saving a view.	Google Sheets lets users rename a filter view so saved filtered results are easier to identify.	Notion database views can be renamed by clicking the view name, while each view keeps its own settings.	Adobe Acrobat mainly provides PDF page viewing and zoom controls, and its official help does not describe named data-view management for this scenario.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS provides three rename entry points close to the view list, which is convenient when managing multiple views in sequence.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft supports view editing and saving with a name, but the official guidance focuses on list view configuration rather than direct renaming from a left-side view list.	Compared with WPS: Google supports renaming filter views, which is centered on spreadsheet filtering workflows.	Compared with WPS: Notion supports renaming database views, but the workflow is centered on database view tabs and settings menus.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF viewing controls instead of named multidimensional data views.

Overall Conclusion
WPS keeps view renaming close to the view list, which is practical when you need to organize and distinguish multiple views quickly. Compared with spreadsheet and database tools, WPS emphasizes fast management of existing views in place, while Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF viewing rather than named data-view workflows.
