About This Feature
Overview
Add to Quick Access lets you pin frequently used views in a multi-dimensional table to the Quick Access area at the top of the left sidebar, so you can open target views faster. It is useful when one table contains multiple data tables and multiple views, and you want a simpler way to switch between them in WPS on macOS.
Core capabilities include:
- Add a selected view to Quick Access for faster entry to frequently used views.
- Remove a view from Quick Access without changing the original view or its data.
This feature fits project collaboration, recurring data review, cross-view switching, and personal workspace organization.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Lets you add a single view in a multi-dimensional table to the Quick Access area in the left sidebar and remove it from the same area later. | Microsoft Loop supports favoriting workspaces, but not individual pages or subpages. | Google Drive lets you add files or folders to the Starred section for quicker access later. | Notion lets you add pages to the Favorites section in the sidebar for quick access. | Adobe Acrobat supports starred files in Home and Recent for quicker access to important files. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS works at the view level inside one multi-dimensional table, so you can create direct shortcuts to specific views without changing their original location. | Compared with WPS: favorites are centered on workspaces rather than direct shortcuts to a single page. | Compared with WPS: starred items are file- or folder-level entries rather than view-level shortcuts inside one table. | Compared with WPS: favorites work for pages, but not for view-level navigation inside a multi-dimensional table. | Compared with WPS: quick access is mainly file-based rather than view-based inside one table. |

Overall Conclusion
If you often switch between multiple views inside the same multi-dimensional table, WPS provides a closer match for view-level navigation. Other products also offer favorites or starred access, but they are generally organized around workspaces, pages, or files instead of table views.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable Users | Main Need | How This Feature Helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fast switching between project views | Project managers and collaborators | Too many views in one table make navigation slower | Add frequently used views to Quick Access |
| 2 | Organizing recurring review entries | Operations and analysts | The same views need to be opened every day | Keep high-frequency views at the top of the sidebar |
| 3 | Multi-role collaboration | Team members | Different roles focus on different views | Each person can manage their own Quick Access list |
| 4 | Removing temporary shortcuts | General users | Some views are no longer used as often for a period of time | Remove the shortcut from Quick Access when needed |
| 5 | Improving efficiency without changing structure | Table maintainers | The original table structure should stay unchanged | Use shortcuts without moving the original views |
