About This Feature
Overview
The Image and Attachment Field in WPS multidimensional tables is used to store images, documents, and other common file types in each record. After you create the field, you can upload local files or cloud files in a cell, and use gallery view to display image content more visually.
Core tasks include:
- Create an Image and Attachment Field: add a dedicated field in the header for structured file management.
- Upload local files: select images or other files from your device and save them to a target cell.
- Upload cloud files: choose existing files from cloud storage and add them to a target cell.
This feature is useful for asset collection, project archive tracking, approval attachments, and image-based record display.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In multidimensional tables, WPS lets you create an Image and Attachment Field, upload local files or cloud files in cells, and display image content with gallery view. | Microsoft Lists lets users attach one or more files to a list item, but files cannot be attached in grid view. | Google Tables provides a File attachments column that supports drag-and-drop or upload and can be set to allow multiple attachments. | Notion databases provide a Files & media property that supports uploads, drag-and-drop, and display in table, board, and gallery views. | Adobe Acrobat lets users embed files as attachments in a PDF, which fits document distribution rather than table-based field management. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: field creation, file upload, and image display are handled inside the same multidimensional table; Distinct: both local file and cloud file entry points are available in the same field workflow. | Compared with WPS: attachments are tied to list items, and grid view does not support direct file attachment. | Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on upload behavior and column settings, but does not describe a combined cloud-file entry and gallery-view workflow. | Compared with WPS: file handling is centered more on pages and databases, and file limits vary by plan. | Compared with WPS: attachment support is centered on PDF documents rather than structured table records. |

Overall Conclusion
If your work depends on keeping images and attachments inside structured table records, WPS is a practical fit for that workflow. The other products also support attachments, but they focus more on list items, database content blocks, or PDF document attachments.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main challenge | How this feature helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Asset collection table | Operations, design, and content teams | Images and documents are scattered across different locations | Create an Image and Attachment Field to keep materials in the same record |
| 2 | Project archive tracking | Project managers and collaboration teams | Attachments for each task are hard to track | Upload local or cloud files to the target cell and archive them by record |
| 3 | Approval attachment retention | Admin, finance, and HR teams | Approval forms and supporting files are stored separately | Bind supporting files directly to the related record through the field |
| 4 | Image-based record display | Product, asset, and sample managers | Text-only records are hard to identify quickly | Upload images and review them through gallery view |
| 5 | Preparation for cross-table reference | Workflow builders | Later processes need to reuse existing images or files | Store attachments in the field first, then combine them with related-table features |
