How to Make a Dashboard Readable on a Phone

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

Open the app in Jestor, enter build mode, and switch to the mobile version.
Place the one or two decisive indicators at the top.
Apply conditional colour so status is legible without reading the figure.
Move detailed charts down, or leave them to the desktop layout.
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.
