About This Feature

Overview

Record Sheet in WPS Spreadsheets provides a form-style way to manage worksheet data one record at a time. After you open the Record Sheet window, you can review field values for the current row and work with records in a focused panel, which is useful when a worksheet contains many rows.

Core tasks include:

Open Record Sheet to enter the record management window from a worksheet data range.
Browse records with Previous and Next controls.
Add or delete records directly from the current data list.
Locate records with criteria and restore the current edit when needed.

This feature is useful for data review, information entry, roster maintenance, and detailed table checking in WPS Office on Windows.

Capability Summary	Record Sheet provides a dedicated record window for worksheet data, with Previous, Next, New, Delete, Criteria, and Restore actions for row-by-row management.	Word supports fillable forms with content controls such as check boxes, text boxes, date pickers, and drop-down lists, which is oriented more toward document form creation.	Google Docs focuses on online document creation, templates, smart chips, dropdowns, collaboration, and version history rather than a dedicated spreadsheet record form for row-by-row data maintenance.	Notion Forms connects questions to database properties so responses are stored alongside database entries, which is suited to information collection and database workflows.	Acrobat Reader supports filling interactive forms and using Fill & Sign for flat forms, with a focus on PDF form completion rather than spreadsheet record browsing.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: It works directly with existing spreadsheet records without requiring a separate form design step. Distinct: You can browse, add, delete, locate, and restore records within the same worksheet workflow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft Word is designed for document-based forms and does not provide the same built-in spreadsheet record window for row-by-row table management.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs is stronger for collaborative document editing and structured document elements, but it does not provide the same worksheet record panel for existing table rows.	Compared with WPS: Notion Forms is suited to collecting submissions into databases, while WPS Record Sheet is more direct for editing and reviewing existing spreadsheet rows locally.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF form filling and signing, not spreadsheet-style record review and maintenance inside a worksheet.

Overall Conclusion
If your main task is maintaining existing worksheet data one row at a time, WPS Record Sheet is closer to spreadsheet entry and review workflows. The other products focus more on document forms, collaborative databases, or PDF form handling, so their primary use cases are different from Record Sheet.
