About This Feature
Overview
Gantt View Add/Delete Record is a record maintenance feature in the iOS Gantt view of WPS Spreadsheets. It helps you add new task records, complete field details, and remove records that are no longer needed while managing a project schedule on iPhone or iPad.
Core tasks include:
- Add a record from the bottom toolbar when you need to create a task quickly while viewing the Gantt chart.
- Add a record from the lower-left area of the timeline when you want to enter tasks continuously in the current view.
- Open record details to edit or delete a record when you need to correct or clean up task data.
This feature is useful for project scheduling, task tracking, and phase plan maintenance. After a record is added, its task bar appears on the Gantt timeline. After a record is deleted, it is removed from the current view.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In the iOS Gantt view of WPS Spreadsheets, you can add a record from the bottom toolbar or the lower-left area of the timeline, then delete the record from its detail page. New records appear as task bars on the timeline. | Microsoft Project officially documents adding tasks in the task list and adding multiple tasks in Gantt Chart views. Public official pages found here focus on desktop or web workflows rather than iPhone Gantt editing. | Google Sheets officially supports adding or deleting rows and columns on iPhone and iPad. This helps maintain spreadsheet data on mobile, but it is not a native Gantt task-bar workflow. | Notion officially supports adding database items, and each item is its own page. Deleted pages go to Trash and can be restored within the documented retention flow. | Adobe Workfront officially supports updating task information directly in a task list Gantt Chart, while task deletion is handled through a separate task management flow with access requirements. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides two add-record entry points inside the same iOS Gantt view and lets you delete a record from its detail page in one mobile workflow. | Compared with WPS: official guidance is centered more on desktop or web task-list operations, with less direct iPhone Gantt maintenance guidance. | Compared with WPS: official mobile guidance focuses on row and column maintenance instead of native Gantt task-bar creation and deletion. | Compared with WPS: database item management is flexible, but the official workflow is centered on database pages and Trash rather than a dedicated Gantt task-bar flow. | Compared with WPS: Gantt updates are supported, but deletion follows a separate task-management path and requires documented access conditions. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS is a practical choice when you want to maintain Gantt task records directly on iOS. Other products also support task or data maintenance, but their mobile workflows are often centered on adjacent components or separate management paths instead of a single native Gantt record flow.
