About This Feature

Overview

Gantt View Comments is a collaboration feature in WPS Office for iOS multi-dimensional tables. It lets you discuss a specific task record with text comments directly from the Gantt view workflow. After you tap a task bar in Gantt view, you can open the record details page, post a comment in the comment area at the bottom, review existing discussions, and continue with replies or deletion.

Main capabilities include:

  • Add comments: Enter and send a text comment in the record details page for a task bar.
  • View the comment panel: After sending, open the panel to review the commenter, time, and content.
  • Manage comments: Continue adding comments in the panel or delete an existing comment.

This feature works well for project collaboration, task follow-up, progress notes, and team communication. Because comments are attached to the record, the same discussion stays available when the same record is opened from other views.

Capability SummaryIn iOS Gantt view, you can tap a task bar to open record details and add, view, or manage record comments in the bottom comment area. Comments stay attached to the record and remain consistent across views.Microsoft Project officially documents task notes, including supporting text and file attachments. Public official materials reviewed here do not describe the same record-level comment panel flow as WPS in Gantt view.Google Sheets officially supports comments, replies, and comment deletion, and it also offers timeline view. Official help shows that timeline view can be viewed on Android or iOS devices, but comments are not described as being managed from the same task-card details panel in timeline view.Notion supports database page comments and timeline view. In timeline view, commenting on a database page requires showing the table next to the timeline before opening the related page.Adobe Acrobat Mobile supports viewing, commenting on, and annotating shared PDFs, but its collaboration target is a PDF document rather than a Gantt task record.
WPS AdvantagesDistinct: the path from a Gantt task bar to record comments is more direct. Advantage: comments stay attached to the task record for ongoing follow-up in project views.Compared with WPS: official guidance focuses on task notes rather than a record comment thread, and an equivalent mobile Gantt comment path is not described in the official page used here.Compared with WPS: comment tools and timeline view both exist, but the official pages do not describe direct record-level comment management inside a timeline task card.Compared with WPS: database page comments are available, but timeline view requires an extra step to show the table before opening the page for comments.Compared with WPS: commenting is centered on PDF review and does not provide a native workflow for Gantt task records.

Overall Conclusion
WPS is a practical fit for teams that need to keep task discussions close to the Gantt workflow on mobile. Compared with the alternatives listed here, it connects the task bar, record details, and comment area in one shorter path for task follow-up.
