About This Feature

Overview

Advanced Fields is a built-in field feature for multidimensional tables in WPS Office on Android. It helps you fill record information automatically and reduces manual entry when you manage structured data.

Main capabilities include:

Add an ID field to generate record numbers automatically, with support for custom numbering rules.
Add Created By and Last Modified By fields to track who created a record and who updated it most recently.
Add Created Time and Last Modified Time fields to keep a timestamp trail for each record.
Use auto-maintained fields for traceability, without editing those values manually.

This feature is useful for project trackers, review logs, customer follow-up tables, and process records where ownership and update history matter.

Capability Summary	On Android, WPS multidimensional tables let you add automatic fields such as ID, Created By, Last Modified By, Created Time, and Last Modified Time directly from field settings.	Microsoft Lists and SharePoint list items include built-in fields such as Author, Created, Editor, Modified, and ID for item-level tracking.	Google Sheets can extract Creation Time, Last Modified By, and Last Modified Time from file smart chips, but this is file metadata extraction rather than native row-level advanced fields.	Notion databases provide Created time, Created by, Last edited time, Last edited by, and ID as auto-generated properties for database entries.	Adobe Acrobat supports date/time fields and calculated form fields in PDF forms, but it does not provide a row-style record metadata system equivalent to multidimensional tables.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: field setup is available directly from the table header workflow on Android, and the automatic values stay attached to each record in the table structure.	Compared with WPS: similar tracking fields exist, but they are centered on Microsoft Lists or SharePoint list architecture.	Compared with WPS: related metadata is available through smart chip extraction and file history, not as native record fields in a table row.	Compared with WPS: Notion also offers automatic properties, while WPS keeps the setup flow closer to mobile table-header configuration.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat focuses on PDF form fields and calculations rather than structured table records with creator/editor metadata.

Overall Conclusion
If you want automatic ID, creator, editor, and timestamp fields inside a multidimensional table on Android, WPS provides a direct mobile workflow tied to table headers. Other products offer related tracking features, but they are typically oriented toward list systems, file metadata extraction, database properties, or PDF forms.
