Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On iOS, WPS multidimensional tables let you create a Progress field and update completion by entering a value or dragging the bar. | Microsoft Lists can track progress in list items and update item status for list-based workflows. | Google Sheets can use SPARKLINE to create an in-cell bar chart for numeric progress display. | Notion databases support Number properties formatted as progress bars and Status properties for To-do, In Progress, and Complete. | Adobe Acrobat focuses on document tracking, such as sent, signed, and waiting states, rather than a table field for progress values. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides a direct progress-bar field inside the table structure, so creation and updates happen in one field workflow on mobile. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft emphasizes list-item progress tracking rather than a native progress-bar field inside a multidimensional table. | Compared with WPS: Google relies on a formula-based setup to render progress bars in cells. | Compared with WPS: Notion supports progress and status tracking, but it depends on database property configuration. | Compared with WPS: Adobe centers on document lifecycle tracking instead of table-based progress fields. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Progress is closer to direct entry and visual review inside a mobile multidimensional table. Microsoft and Notion are stronger in list or database-style status management, Google is more formula-driven, and Adobe is oriented toward document workflow tracking.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main pain point | How Progress helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Project task tracking | Project managers and contributors | It is hard to see each task's completion level quickly | Create a Progress field and update each task directly |
| 2 | Sales target tracking | Sales teams | Goal completion is not easy to compare visually | Show milestone completion with progress bars |
| 3 | Content production scheduling | Editors and operations teams | Multiple tasks are scattered across statuses | Maintain progress in one table view |
| 4 | Personal habit tracking | Individual users | Ongoing records lack visual feedback | Review completion changes through a progress bar |
| 5 | Team checklist follow-up | Small teams | Updates do not clearly show current progress | Adjust the progress bar so everyone can review status quickly |
