About This Feature

Overview

Kanban View Grouping Criteria is a kanban grouping feature in WPS Spreadsheets on iOS. It lets you choose a field as the grouping rule and automatically place cards into different columns based on field values, making it easier to review and manage records by category.

Core capabilities include:

Add a grouping criterion to organize cards by a selected field.
Switch between saved grouping criteria by tapping the group name.
Keep the original data unchanged while only adjusting the card layout.

This feature is useful for task tracking, project categorization, and record review by field value.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In a kanban view on iOS, WPS lets you choose a field as the grouping criterion and automatically sort cards into columns by field value.	Microsoft Planner offers a Board view and organizes tasks with options such as buckets; its product page highlights visual task tracking.	Google Sheets product pages focus on spreadsheet collaboration and data organization, but they do not describe a native kanban grouping view.	Notion boards can group database items by property and display them as columns in a board layout.	Adobe Acrobat product pages focus on PDF viewing, editing, and signing rather than spreadsheet-style kanban grouping.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: field-based grouping is available directly inside the kanban view on iOS. Distinct: switching grouping criteria changes the display layout without changing the original data.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft's public page is centered on planning workflows and does not describe the same spreadsheet-style field grouping setup.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets public pages emphasize spreadsheet work, not a native kanban grouping view.	Compared with WPS: Notion also supports property-based grouping, while WPS connects the grouping action directly to a spreadsheet-style kanban view.	Compared with WPS: Adobe does not present a comparable spreadsheet-style kanban grouping workflow on its Acrobat page.

Overall Conclusion: If you want to review and manage cards by field value in a spreadsheet-style kanban view on iOS, WPS provides a direct in-view grouping workflow. Microsoft Planner and Notion also support visual organization, but their public pages describe different product contexts. Google Sheets and Adobe Acrobat do not present the same native workflow on the cited pages.
