About This Feature

Overview

Progress Field is a field type in WPS multi-dimensional tables on macOS. It displays completion from 0% to 100% in a visual percentage format. After you create the field, you can enter a percentage directly in a record or drag the progress bar to adjust the value. It fits project tracking, task follow-up, and work progress management.

Core tasks include:

Create a progress field: add a new field from the table header and choose the Progress type.
Set a progress value: enter a percentage or drag the progress bar to update completion.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	WPS lets you add a native progress field in a multi-dimensional table, show completion as a percentage, and update it by typing a value or dragging the bar.	Microsoft Lists can track progress in list columns and let users update an item's progress, with a stronger focus on list-based status tracking.	Google Sheets can use gauge charts to show progress toward a goal, which is more chart-based than a native in-cell progress field.	Notion database Number properties can be formatted as progress bars, and Status properties can track work progress.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on collecting and exporting PDF form data, rather than providing a native table progress field.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: creation, display, and adjustment all happen in one field, so the editing path is more direct for record-based tracking.	Compared with WPS: progress can be tracked, but the official guidance focuses more on list updates and column formatting.	Compared with WPS: progress is mainly represented through charts instead of a native record field.	Compared with WPS: progress can be shown with database properties, but setup usually depends on database property configuration.	Compared with WPS: it is better suited to PDF form collection than ongoing progress tracking inside a table.

Overall Conclusion: If you want to maintain completion percentages directly inside a record table, WPS Progress Field offers a more direct workflow. Other products can represent progress, but they usually do so through list status, charts, database properties, or PDF form data handling.
