When using Switch to Application Mode, 3 common question types include mode differences, view display, and data impact; this section covers 3 frequent questions and a glossary.
FAQ
What is the difference between Application Mode and Classic Mode?
- Application Mode is better for concentrated mobile browsing of data tables, dashboards, and frequently used views.
- Classic Mode shows Data Table and Dashboard at the top and uses the view list in the lower-left area for switching.
- If you focus on faster mobile browsing and entry, use Application Mode. If you prefer the earlier layout, switch back to Classic Mode.
Will switching modes affect my existing data?
- Switching modes changes the display layout and does not directly modify the data in the Bitable.
- After switching, you can still open a specific view, review the data list, and continue adding data.
- If needed, open the same view before and after switching to confirm the result.
Why can’t I find the Switch to Application Mode option?
- First confirm that you opened a Bitable instead of a regular document, spreadsheet, or another file type.
- Then make sure you are already inside the Bitable page and have opened the upper-right More menu.
- If the option still does not appear, update WPS Office and reopen the target Bitable.
