About This Feature

Overview

Kanban View is a view type in WPS Office for Mac multidimensional tables. It displays records as cards grouped by field values, making it easier to track task status, business workflows, and collaboration progress.

Core capabilities include:

Create a Kanban view: add a card-based view in the same multidimensional table.
Group cards by field: organize columns with an existing field or a newly added grouping field.
Manage card display: set card covers and cover effects for easier visual browsing.

This view works well for task tracking, workflow management, project collaboration, and status reviews. If a record does not contain a value in the current grouping field, it appears in the Ungrouped column.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Kanban View is a practical fit for users who already manage information in multidimensional tables and want a card-based grouped view without moving data to another tool. If your work centers on table data plus status tracking, WPS offers a more direct path. If you need a heavier project management framework, compare the dedicated capabilities of the other platforms as well.
