About This Feature

Overview

Data Table Creator lets you add a Created By field in a multidimensional table on Android. When a new record is created, the field automatically writes the current user name. This is useful for ownership tracking, record attribution, and audit review.

Core capabilities include:

Add a Created By field: Open the header editing entry, choose the system field type, and set a custom field name.
Auto-fill the creator: When a new record is added, the current user is recorded automatically, and the value cannot be edited manually afterward.

Capability Summary	In a multidimensional table, you can add a Created By field. When a new record is created, the current user is recorded automatically, and the value cannot be edited manually afterward.	Excel for Android offers Cards View to review and edit table data row by row, but the public page does not describe a native Created By system field for records.	Google Sheets tables support column types, table structure, and organized data entry, but the public page does not describe a system field that automatically records the record creator.	Notion databases include a Created by property that automatically records the person who created the item, and the property is auto-generated and not editable.	Acrobat on mobile focuses on filling and signing PDF forms. It supports form entry and signatures, but it does not provide a spreadsheet-style Created By field for table records.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS can record the creator directly at the table-field level and keep the field read-only after creation, which fits record tracking workflows on Android.	Compared with WPS: Excel supports mobile row-by-row viewing and editing for tables, but the cited page does not show the same kind of built-in creator field.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets emphasizes table structure and column types, while the cited page does not show the same record-creator field behavior.	Compared with WPS: Notion offers a similar auto-recorded creator property; WPS is more aligned with mobile multidimensional table entry inside WPS Office.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is designed for PDF form workflows rather than structured table-field tracking.

Overall Conclusion
If you need to record who created each table record directly on Android, WPS provides a field model that fits structured entry and traceability. Excel and Google Sheets focus more on table editing and structure, Notion offers a similar creator property in databases, and Adobe Acrobat is centered on PDF form workflows.
