About This Feature

Overview

Table View is a basic smart-table view in WPS Office for iOS. It displays records in a spreadsheet-like grid so you can review fields, switch views, and enter data more directly on mobile.

Core capabilities include:

Create or switch to a table view and manage records in a standard grid layout.
Change the reading mode between table mode and card mode for different browsing needs.

This feature is useful for project tracking, information logging, and lightweight data organization when you need a clearer multi-field view on iPhone or iPad.

Capability Summary	Provides a table view in smart tables on iOS, where you can create or switch views from the view list, enter data in a grid, and change reading modes for record display.	Microsoft Lists supports list view and Edit in grid view for adding, editing, and managing multiple items, with saved views available.	Google Sheets tables support column types, a table menu, and table views or filter views for organizing and filtering table data.	Notion table view displays database entries in rows and columns, with support for adding table views, bulk editing, and rearranging rows and columns.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF table structure and accessibility editing, including table tagging and reading order, rather than spreadsheet-style table views.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: You can create or switch to a table view directly from the view list in the same smart table and enter records in a grid. Distinct: On mobile, you can switch between table mode and card mode from reading mode.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft documentation focuses more on list and grid editing workflows, with less emphasis on mobile reading-mode switching for the same dataset.	Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes web-based table structure, column typing, and saved views more than a mobile smart-table reading-mode workflow.	Compared with WPS: Notion table view is more database-page oriented, while WPS offers a more direct path for grid-based record entry in the same smart table.	Compared with WPS: Adobe does not provide a directly equivalent smart-table view workflow and focuses on PDF table repair and tagging instead.
