How do you jump straight from an indicator's view to the data table that feeds it?
In Jestor, the new app editor lets you access the table that feeds an indicator directly, with no need to manually navigate to the data structure behind it.
How this quick access works
While editing an indicator inside an app, one of the new options available lets you jump straight to the data table that generates that number. This is useful when you need to quickly understand where a value shown on the dashboard is coming from, without having to manually search for which table is connected to that block.
| Feature | What it allows |
|---|---|
| Go to the table | Direct access to the data table feeding the indicator |
| View app pages | List of all the app's pages, with quick navigation between them |
How to access the table behind an indicator
- Turn on builder mode in the app.
- Select the indicator you want to investigate.
- Use the option to jump straight to the table connected to it.
- Check the source data directly in the table.

Does this feature work for any type of indicator?
The direct table-access feature was introduced as part of the new app editor, available for indicator blocks built on top of a table.
Do you need to leave the app to access the data table?
No, access is done directly through the option available while editing the indicator itself, with no need to search for the table manually.
Did the new editor keep the previous block-editing features?
Yes, all previous features remain available; the main change was in the visual organization and the speed of access to these features.
