About This Feature
Overview
Gallery View New/Delete Records is a gallery-based record management feature in WPS Office for iOS. It lets you create new records as cards and remove records you no longer need from a gallery view in a smart table workflow.
Core capabilities include:
- Add a record: Create a new card from the add-record button in gallery view.
- Delete a record: Open record details and remove the record from the edit page.

This workflow is useful for quick content collection, lightweight project tracking, and card-style information management on mobile devices.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports adding records in gallery view on iOS and deleting records from record details. New records are displayed as cards automatically after creation. | Microsoft Lists focuses on list-based item management for structured records and team tracking. | Google Sheets focuses on spreadsheet-style row and column editing for structured data entry. | Notion supports adding and deleting database entries and can display them in a gallery-style database view. | Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF viewing, commenting, and document workflows rather than gallery-based database record management. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: Add, review, and remove records within a card-based gallery workflow on iOS, which is more direct for quick mobile record handling. | Compared with WPS: More centered on list management, and gallery-style card browsing is not its main presentation pattern. | Compared with WPS: Primarily designed for grid-based spreadsheet editing instead of card-based record browsing. | Compared with WPS: Also supports gallery-style databases, but its setup is often more oriented to broader workspace and knowledge management flows. | Compared with WPS: No equivalent native smart-table gallery record workflow for this use case. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to add and clean up records as cards on iOS, WPS provides a more direct gallery-view workflow for lightweight mobile management. Other products are better aligned with spreadsheet grids, list collaboration, workspace databases, or PDF-focused tasks.
