About This Feature

Overview

Gantt View Grouping is a built-in DBSheet capability in WPS Office for iOS that helps you organize project tasks in a Gantt view by grouping task bars based on selected field values.

Core tasks include:

Add a group: choose a field and create a grouped task structure for faster project review.
Expand or collapse a group: switch between a compact summary and full task details inside each group.
Remove a group: clear the current grouping condition and return to the default order.

This feature is useful for project scheduling, phase-based reviews, and progress checks by owner or status. Grouping changes how tasks are displayed, but it does not change the timeline or task dates.

Capability Summary	In the DBSheet Gantt view on iOS, WPS can group task bars by field values and supports expanding, collapsing, and removing groups.	Microsoft Project can group tasks in task views such as Gantt Chart by one or multiple criteria and can return the view to No Group.	Google Sheets timeline view can place multiple cards on the same row with Card group, and the timeline can be viewed on Android or iOS after setup.	Notion Timeline can group entries by a property and combine grouping with sub-items and dependencies for project planning.	Adobe Workfront Gantt keeps list-level grouping when viewing or exporting the Gantt chart and lets users work with grouping applied above the chart.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The grouping flow is available directly in the iOS Gantt view, including add, expand or collapse, and remove actions for quick mobile review.	Compared with WPS: Official guidance focuses on Project desktop task views, so the mobile path is less direct than the WPS iOS flow.	Compared with WPS: Timeline grouping depends on prepared source columns, and creation or configuration is mainly done on a computer.	Compared with WPS: Grouping is flexible, but it depends on database property setup rather than a lightweight spreadsheet-style Gantt entry point.	Compared with WPS: The official workflow is centered on Workfront project management and export scenarios, where grouping follows the existing list setup.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Gantt View Grouping is well suited to mobile project review on iOS because the grouping controls are available directly inside the Gantt view. Other products also provide grouping or timeline organization, but their setup paths and product focus differ.

Use Cases

#	Scenario	Target Users	Core Pain Point	Solution
1	Review schedules by task status	Project managers	It is hard to separate not started, in progress, and completed tasks in a busy timeline	Add grouping by the status field in the Gantt view
2	Check progress by owner	Team leads	It takes time to see how tasks are distributed across team members	Group by owner and collapse unrelated groups
3	Organize work by phase	Project members	Multi-phase projects can look crowded in one timeline	Group by phase and expand the phase you want to review
4	Focus on priority work temporarily	Reviewers	Other records can distract from the tasks that matter right now	Collapse non-priority groups and keep the target group expanded
5	Return to the default layout for editing	Daily maintainers	After grouped review, users may need the original order again	Remove the grouping condition and continue working in the default layout
