Composite indicators on a dashboard cross two or more variables to produce a result, such as an approval rate or a ratio, instead of displaying a single field value. In Jestor, these now carry the same styling options as the simple indicator: format, decimal places and conditional color. What a
A many-to-many relationship between tables applies when records on both sides can connect to several on the other: one payable can belong to marketing, to finance, or to both, and each cost center holds many payables. In Jestor, you create it with the connected tables field type. Why
To track AI usage meaningfully, you need a metric people can predict. In Jestor, document reading is measured in processed pages rather than in variable credits, so a three page PDF counts as three and an image counts as one. Why unpredictable metrics discourage adoption When consumption is measured in
Ready made templates let you install a complete application, with its tables, automations and layout already built, in a few clicks. In Jestor, the template store is organized by category, and everything installed remains fully editable. Why starting from a template beats starting from zero Most internal processes are variations
Being able to view PDFs inside forms and cards removes a small friction that adds up: nobody has to download a file, open it in another application and switch back. In Jestor, the PDF renders inside the form or card, with zoom and page navigation available. Why downloading a document
Setting up notifications when records change does not require an automation. In Jestor, you can follow an entire table, which subscribes you to every record in it, and you are notified whenever someone else makes a change. Why managers end up refreshing screens Someone responsible for a process wants to
App versioning lets you edit an internal app without the changes reaching your users immediately. In Jestor, you choose which version is published to the team, so you can build version six while everyone keeps working on the stable version four. Why editing a live tool is risky An internal
To embed external dashboards and other outside content into an internal app, you add an embed block and give it a link or an iframe. In Jestor, that block supports dashboards from other tools, videos, text and PDFs, with styling options so the result does not look bolted on. Why
An order management system has to answer two questions at once: what the customer ordered, and where that order currently is in production. In Jestor, a ready made template covers orders, clients and the production line, with a product registry underneath. Why orders and production drift apart Sales records the
Getting currency and due date fields right is what makes a payables workflow calculable. In Jestor, a currency field standardizes the symbol across every record and, unlike text, can actually be summed by formulas and automations. Why an amount stored as text breaks everything downstream Typing an amount into a
Choosing between single option or tags comes down to one question: can a record belong to more than one category at the same time? In Jestor, a single option field allows exactly one value per record, while a tag field allows several. Why this small decision has large consequences Classification
Formula fields in tables calculate a value automatically from other fields on the same record, so the number is always current and nobody maintains it. In Jestor, you add a formula column, reference the fields you need and the result recalculates on its own. Why calculated columns beat manual ones
