About This Feature

Overview

Table View Field Management is a DBSheet feature in WPS Office for iOS that helps you manage table-view fields in one place. You can use the field management entry to add fields, edit fields, reorder fields, and hide fields, and you can also hide or show a field from the field header menu.

Core tasks include:

Add a field: create a new field column for the current table.
Edit a field: change the field name and field type.
Reorder fields: drag a field to a new display position.
Hide a field: quickly hide or restore a field from the field management panel.
Hide or show a field: control field visibility directly from the field header menu.

This feature works well for project trackers, customer lists, and task tables that need frequent structure updates on mobile. If you are looking for how to manage table fields on iPhone, this workflow keeps field changes in one place. Hiding a field does not delete its data, while deleting a field can affect existing content.

Capability Summary	On iOS, DBSheet supports adding, editing, reordering, and hiding fields in Field Management, and also supports hide/show actions from the field header menu.	Official Excel pages describe hiding or unhiding columns, turning table headers on or off, and inserting or deleting columns. The selected official pages do not directly show a comparable mobile field-management entry.	Official Google Sheets pages describe adding, moving, and deleting columns, plus hiding and showing columns. The selected help pages mainly describe computer workflows.	Notion databases support creating properties, editing properties, deleting properties, and hiding, showing, or reordering properties in views.	Adobe Acrobat official content focuses on PDF form fields and custom data fields rather than spreadsheet-style table field management.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps add, edit, reorder, and hide actions in one field-management path, which is practical for mobile table structure updates.	Compared with WPS: official pages clearly cover hide, header, and insert/delete actions, but the selected documentation is more general spreadsheet guidance.	Compared with WPS: official pages cover moving and hiding columns, but the selected guidance is mainly for desktop web use.	Compared with WPS: property management is comprehensive, but the product model is a database view rather than a traditional spreadsheet column workflow.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is closer to PDF form-field configuration and does not present a similar table-view field-management workflow.

Overall Conclusion
WPS brings field creation, editing, reordering, and visibility control into one mobile path, which is useful when you need to update a table structure on the go. Microsoft and Google document broader column operations, Notion focuses on database properties, and Adobe centers on PDF form fields rather than spreadsheet-style field management.

3	Task tracking views	Team collaborators	Different roles need different fields in view	Hide or show fields to switch the focus of the current table
