About This Feature

Overview

Table View Add/Delete Records is a basic data-maintenance feature in WPS Office for Windows. It helps you add new records, continue entering multiple records, and remove rows that are no longer needed in a multidimensional table.

Core capabilities include:

  • Open the Add Record panel from the top toolbar and fill in fields one by one.
  • Use the + button at the bottom of the table to add a blank row for faster entry.
  • Right-click a target row to delete a record and keep the table organized.

This feature is useful for project trackers, customer lists, task logs, inventory sheets, and other structured data scenarios.

Capability SummaryIn table view, WPS lets you add records from a top Add Record panel, add blank rows from the bottom of the table, and delete records from a row context menu.Excel tables let you add rows by typing, pasting, or using insert commands, and delete table rows or columns.Google Sheets lets you insert or delete rows, columns, and cells from the context menu, and add more rows at the bottom of a sheet.Notion Table view lets you add database entries, edit multiple rows, and manage each row as a database page.Adobe public help content mainly covers layout tables or PDF-related workflows and does not provide a direct Acrobat equivalent for spreadsheet-style record add/delete tasks.
WPS AdvantagesAdvantage: WPS provides both a panel-based entry flow and an in-table quick-entry flow, which works well for detailed input and fast follow-up entry.Compared with WPS: Excel documentation focuses on expanding and deleting table rows and columns, rather than a record-details side panel workflow.Compared with WPS: Google Sheets focuses on row, column, and cell insertion or deletion in a worksheet, while WPS is closer to a form-style record entry flow.Compared with WPS: Notion is more database-page oriented and less like a traditional spreadsheet cell-entry experience.Compared with WPS: Adobe does not show a direct same-component workflow for this scenario in its public Acrobat help content.

Overall Conclusion
For ongoing record entry and cleanup in a multidimensional table, WPS offers two practical entry paths in the same view. Excel and Google Sheets are more worksheet-oriented, Notion is more database-page oriented, and Adobe does not present a direct same-component public workflow for this use case.
