About This Feature

Overview

Rename Data Table in WPS on iOS lets you change the name of a data table or dashboard tab in a multidimensional table, making tab names easier to recognize in team collaboration and ongoing data management.

Core capabilities include:

  • Rename a data table tab to a clearer business name.
  • Rename a dashboard tab for more consistent view organization.
  • Keep collaboration easier by showing updated tab names after sync or refresh.

This feature fits project tracking, team collaboration, data organization, and dashboard management scenarios. Renaming changes the displayed tab name and does not change the data or field structure inside the table.
