Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports adding, editing, deleting, dragging to reorder, and hiding or showing fields in one multidimensional table workflow. | Microsoft Lists supports adding, editing, moving, hiding, and deleting columns for list-based data management. | Google Sheets supports adding, moving, deleting, and hiding columns in spreadsheets. | Notion databases support creating, editing, deleting, and hiding or showing properties for database views. | Adobe Acrobat mainly supports editing properties for PDF form fields, which is a weaker match for multidimensional table field management. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS brings common field structure tasks into one focused management workflow for multidimensional tables. | Compared with WPS: column management is available, but Microsoft notes these features are for desktop and are not currently available on mobile. | Compared with WPS: the workflow is centered on spreadsheet columns rather than structured business field management. | Compared with WPS: property management is available, but the experience is oriented toward database properties rather than a dedicated table field management panel. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat focuses on PDF form fields instead of native multidimensional table structures. |

Use Cases

| 1 | Building a project tracker structure | Project managers, operations teams | The initial table structure is incomplete | Add fields for status, owner, deadline, and other key data |
| 2 | Updating business fields | Data maintainers | Existing field names or settings no longer fit the workflow | Edit existing fields to keep the structure aligned with current needs |
| 3 | Cleaning up redundant fields | Team collaborators | The table has too many repeated or unused fields | Delete unnecessary fields and keep the structure concise |
| 4 | Improving entry order | Form designers, coordinators | Field order slows down data entry | Reorder fields so frequently used items appear earlier |
