About This Feature

Overview

Creator is a field type in WPS Office multidimensional tables on iOS. It is used to automatically write the current user's identity into a record when that record is created, which helps with traceability and review.

Core capabilities include:

Add a Creator field: create a Creator field from the table header editing panel and set a field name.
Auto-fill the creator: when a new record is added, the current user's name is filled in automatically.
Keep creator data read-only: after the record is created, the Creator field cannot be edited manually.

This field is useful for task tracking, issue reporting, content collection, and other workflows that need a clear record source.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In a multidimensional table, you can add a Creator field. When a new record is created, WPS automatically records the current user's name, and the field cannot be edited manually afterward.	Microsoft Lists automatically creates some system columns such as Title and Modified By, and also provides hidden auto-generated metadata columns for item information.	Google Sheets officially supports Gemini-based table generation and smart fill for text columns, but the official page does not describe a native creator system field equivalent to a multidimensional table field.	Notion databases provide a Created by property that automatically records the person who created the item, and it is auto-generated and not editable.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on creating fillable PDF forms and configuring form fields, rather than providing a creator field equivalent inside a multidimensional table.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS lets you configure the field and keep creator records in the same multidimensional table on iOS. Distinct: both field setup and record creation can be completed on mobile.	Compared with WPS: the official description is centered more on list metadata columns than on a field setup flow equivalent to a multidimensional table on mobile.	Compared with WPS: the official description focuses more on AI-generated table structure and text filling, not on an automatic creator field for each record.	Compared with WPS: it also records the creator automatically, but it is presented as a database property.	Compared with WPS: there is no native creator field equivalent for the same table-style collaboration component.
Official Source	—	List and library column types and options	Organize with Gemini in Google Sheets	Database properties	Convert documents to PDF forms

Overall Conclusion: If your priority is to keep creator information for every record directly inside a mobile multidimensional table, WPS Creator is a closer fit for that workflow. Other products also provide creator-related metadata or form fields, but they are positioned more around lists, database properties, or PDF forms.
