How to Build a Mobile Layout for an Internal App

To build a mobile layout for an app, you switch to the mobile view in build mode and arrange the components for a narrow screen. The data and logic stay identical; only the arrangement differs.

Why a desktop layout does not translate

A dashboard designed for a wide screen becomes a long scroll on a phone, with the important things at the bottom.

Indicators stacked below a large chart nobody needs on mobile
Boards squeezed beside panels that should be hidden
Key actions pushed off the first screen
Users giving up and waiting until they are at a desk

What to prioritize on a small screen

Priority	What belongs at the top
Action	The button that starts the task — new movement, new order
Current state	One or two indicators that answer "where are we"
The working view	The board or list the person actually uses
Everything else	Further down, or left to the desktop version

How to configure it in Jestor

Open the app in Jestor and click to build.
Switch from the desktop version to the mobile version.
Arrange the components as they should appear on a phone.
Put the primary action and the key indicator at the top.
Open the app on a device to confirm the result before sharing it.

Why choose Jestor for mobile-ready apps?

Because the mobile layout in Jestor is a separate arrangement over the same app, you are not maintaining two apps — a field added to the table appears in both without extra work.

Everything else behaves identically: navigation, creation, boards, forms, and dashboards all work the same way on a phone as on a computer.
