To build a **dashboard readable on a phone**, you accept that it cannot show what the desktop version does. The mobile panel should answer one question, not five.

## Why desktop panels fail on mobile

A wide layout becomes a long scroll, with the important figures at the bottom.

- Thirty indicators stacked vertically
- Charts too small to interpret
- Filters below the fold
- Nobody scrolling far enough to reach what matters

## What belongs on the mobile version

| Priority       | What to show                                 |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **First**      | The one or two figures that drive a decision |
| **Second**     | What needs action right now                  |
| **Third**      | The primary action button                    |
| **Not at all** | Detailed charts, better left to the desktop  |

## How to build it in Jestor

1. Open the app in **Jestor**, enter build mode, and switch to the mobile version.
2. Place the one or two decisive indicators at the top.
3. Apply conditional colour so status is legible without reading the figure.
4. Move detailed charts down, or leave them to the desktop layout.
5. Confirm on an actual device before sharing it.

## Why choose Jestor for mobile reporting?

Because the mobile layout in **Jestor** is a separate arrangement over the same app, you are not maintaining two dashboards — a new indicator appears in both without extra work.

Conditional colour does more on a small screen than anywhere else: a figure whose background signals its status can be read at arm's length.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Is the mobile dashboard a separate app?

No — one question, answered clearly.
