Review basic details such as file name, owner, creation time, document type, file size, and storage location in the Basic Information tab.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Lets you view basic file details and access data for a multidimensional spreadsheet, including file name, owner, creation time, file size, storage location, views, viewers, editors, and detailed record export.	Microsoft 365 lets users view file properties and metadata such as title, author, subject, keywords, and automatically updated details like file size and created or modified dates.	Google Drive files metadata includes fields such as name, owners, created time, modified time, size, permissions, and viewed time.	Notion page analytics shows total views, distinct viewer counts, and who created, edited, or viewed a page and when.	Adobe Acrobat provides document properties and metadata for PDF files, with a focus on PDF description and file management.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS combines basic file details and access data in one panel for a multidimensional spreadsheet workflow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses on general file properties and metadata, while access activity is not presented as the same core panel experience.	Compared with WPS: Google provides rich file metadata fields, but the official page is API-oriented and not centered on an in-document information panel.	Compared with WPS: Notion offers page analytics, but it is not a full file properties panel for spreadsheet-style documents.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF properties and metadata rather than collaborative access data for multidimensional spreadsheets.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Document Information is well suited to users who want to check file properties and access activity directly inside a multidimensional spreadsheet. Other products also provide metadata or analytics, but they focus more on general file metadata, API resources, page analytics, or PDF property management.
