FAQ

Why hasn't the renamed item updated for collaborators yet?

  1. Confirm that the new name has already been saved and is visible in your sidebar.
  2. Ask collaborators to refresh the page or reopen the file.
  3. Check that everyone is viewing the same multidimensional table.

What should I do if WPS says the name already exists?

  1. Check whether another table, view, or dashboard in the same multidimensional table already uses that name.
  2. Enter a different name that is not duplicated.
  3. Add a number, date, or business label if you need a clearer distinction.

How to rename in WPS on Windows when I need to update many items at once?

  1. Batch rename is not available for multiple tables, views, or dashboards in this workflow.
