Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports centralized field structure management in multidimensional tables, including creating, editing, deleting, reordering, and hiding or showing fields.	Microsoft Lists uses columns to organize information and supports list structure management around those columns.	Google Sheets supports basic column operations such as hiding columns for spreadsheet workflows.	Notion databases use properties to organize information and manage database structure.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF workflows and does not provide a native equivalent to multidimensional table field management.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS brings field creation, editing, deletion, reordering, and visibility control into one panel for ongoing table-structure maintenance. Distinct: It is more directly aligned with multidimensional table field management workflows.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft is more focused on list-column management in Microsoft 365 list scenarios.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets focuses on spreadsheet column actions, while field-structure controls are less centralized.	Compared with WPS: Notion is suitable for database property management, but its experience is not the same as table-style field management.	Compared with WPS: Adobe centers on PDF document tasks rather than multidimensional table structure management.
