WPS Table View Add/Delete Records on Windows FAQ

Last updated:July 22, 2026

This FAQ covers 3 common questions about choosing an entry method, restoring deleted records, and adding multiple records in sequence, plus a short glossary for key terms.

FAQ

What is the difference between the two ways to add a record?

  1. The top + Add Record button opens a details panel on the right, which is better for records with many fields.
  2. The bottom + button adds a blank row directly in the table, which is better for quick entry.
  3. If speed matters more, use the bottom entry method. If field completeness matters more, use the panel.

Can I restore a record after deleting it by mistake?

  1. Yes. If the deletion just happened, use Undo right away.
  2. On Windows, a common shortcut is Ctrl+Z.
  3. If the table is shared, restoring the row quickly can help reduce follow-up data differences.

Can I add multiple records in sequence?

  1. Yes. When you use the top + Add Record entry point, you can enable Continue adding after submit.
  2. After you submit one record, the panel stays open for the next one.
  3. If you prefer direct table entry, you can also keep adding rows from the bottom and fill them one after another.
