How to Customize Indicator Format and Decimal Places

To customize indicator format and decimal places, you set the number formatting, the precision, and the styling on the indicator itself. The same underlying figure can read as a currency, a percentage, or an abbreviated number.

Why formatting is not cosmetic

A figure formatted badly is a figure read badly, and on a dashboard that is scanned in seconds the cost is real.

Currency values showing cents nobody needs
Percentages displayed as raw decimals
Large numbers unreadable without abbreviation
Indicators that look alike, so nothing stands out

What can be adjusted on an indicator

Title and subtitle, written in your own words rather than the field name
Number format, including which currency to display
Decimal places, so cents appear only where they matter
Alignment, left, centre, or right
Colours, separately for the data, the title, and the subtitle
Border and corners, rounded or square

How to configure it in Jestor

Press B in Jestor to enter build mode and open the indicator.
Write a custom title and subtitle — for example, "accounts payable" and "sum of payables".
Set the number format and choose the currency where relevant.
Set the decimal places, removing them where cents add nothing.
Choose alignment, colours, border, and whether corners are rounded or square.

Why choose Jestor for dashboard styling?

Square corners exist for a practical reason in Jestor: when indicators sit side by side, square edges let them align flush rather than leaving gaps between rounded cards.

Separate colour control for data, title, and subtitle means an important figure can be emphasized without the whole panel shouting.
