This FAQ covers 3 common questions about WPS Table View on Android, mainly around view differences, display methods, and mobile reading efficiency.
FAQ
What is the difference between table view and other views?
- Table view displays records in a row-and-column grid, which is suitable for batch browsing and editing.
- If you need grouped presentation, you can use other views such as board-style layouts.
- If you need to review record details one by one, you can switch from table mode to card mode.
How many columns can table view display?
- Table view can display the fields that have already been created.
- When there are many fields, it is helpful to keep the most relevant columns visible for the current task.
- Adjusting the way you review records can improve mobile viewing efficiency.
Why is card mode sometimes easier to use on a phone?
- Phone screens are smaller, so table mode can feel dense when a row contains many fields.
- In card mode, each record is shown separately, which makes item-by-item review easier.
- When you need faster entry or a broader overview, you can switch back to table mode.
