About This Feature

Overview

Rename in WPS Office for Mac is a naming management feature for multidimensional tables. It lets you change the names of datasheets, views, and dashboards so your workspace is easier to organize and easier for collaborators to understand.

Core capabilities include:

Rename a datasheet, view, or dashboard from the More Options menu.
Rename an item directly by double-clicking its name.
Use clearer names to reflect business purpose, project stage, or team ownership.

This feature is useful for project tracking, team collaboration, data organization, and dashboard maintenance. After renaming, collaborators can identify each item more quickly.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports renaming datasheets, views, and dashboards from the left sidebar in multidimensional tables, either from the More Options menu or by double-clicking the name.	Microsoft Lists supports creating, switching, and saving views, and users can enter a view name when saving a view.	Google Sheets supports renaming sheets, and the official developer documentation includes `setName(name)` for sheet renaming.	Notion database views can be renamed by clicking the view name, and view settings can be managed in the same area.	Adobe Acrobat mainly supports PDF page numbering and page label management rather than renaming table-style objects such as views or dashboards.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: One entry area covers datasheets, views, and dashboards. Distinct: It supports both menu-based renaming and direct double-click editing.	Compared with WPS: The official workflow is more focused on list view management and naming saved views.	Compared with WPS: The renamed object is mainly a sheet tab, not multiple object types inside a multidimensional table.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on database view naming and configuration, with a different data structure model.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is centered on PDF page organization rather than a comparable multidimensional table rename workflow.

Overall Conclusion
If your work centers on naming datasheets, views, and dashboards inside a multidimensional table, WPS provides a more concentrated entry path and a more direct workflow. Microsoft, Google, and Notion offer related naming capabilities, but their object types and usage models are not exactly the same. Adobe Acrobat is more suitable for PDF page management.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable For	Main Pain Point	How Rename Helps
1	Project stage labeling	Project managers	Similar object names make stages hard to identify quickly	Rename datasheets or views to labels such as Backlog, In Progress, or Done
2	Team collaboration cleanup	Collaborators	Team members cannot quickly tell what each object is for	Rename items by team, role, or workflow
3	Dashboard maintenance	Data analysts	Dashboard names do not match the content being shown	Update dashboard names by topic or reporting period
4	Template reuse	Operations teams	Default copied names are not convenient for ongoing work	Rename the copied object to the current business name right away
5	View management	Table maintainers	Multiple views increase switching cost	Use clearer view names to reflect filters or display purpose
