Mobile Dashboard Widgets: Supported Features and Limitations Guide

Which dashboard widgets show in the iOS and Android apps, which stay on the web, and how to build a dashboard for phones.

Written by Piercen Reid

Most dashboard widgets show in the SmartSuite mobile app on iOS and Android. A few stay on the web: Map View, Gantt View, My Work, the four record widgets, Spacing and Scripting.

Here is the test: will people open this dashboard on a phone? If yes, build it from the widgets marked Yes in the tables below.

Example: a vendor risk program. The risk team keeps a Vendor Risk dashboard. It has a Summary Card for open findings, a Column chart of findings by severity and a Grid View widget of vendors due for review. All three show on a phone. A Map View of vendor locations does not, so the team keeps it on a second dashboard for the web.

Plan Availability

All plan types.

Permissions

Everyone who can open the dashboard sees its widgets on mobile. Solution Managers and members with Full Access set up widgets on a public dashboard in the web app. The owner sets up a private one.

Platform

Mobile iOS, Mobile Android

A widget is missing or empty on mobile: check these five things, in order

Anyone can run these checks. Changing a widget needs a Solution Manager or a member with Full Access on a public dashboard, or the owner of a private one, in the web app.

  1. The widget type. Map View, Gantt View, My Work, the record widgets, Spacing and Scripting do not show on mobile. The tables below list every widget. See Manage widgets on a dashboard.

  2. The app version. The full Timeline View widget needs the latest version of the mobile app. Update the app, then open the dashboard again. See Timeline view widget.

  3. The widget's filters. A widget shows only the records its filters match, on mobile as on the web. See Filters in view-based widgets.

  4. Your access. A widget shows only the records and tables you can see on the web. See SmartSuite Desktop vs Mobile.

  5. The dashboard design. If a widget is not supported, ask the dashboard's builder to swap it for one marked Yes. See Get started with dashboards.

Still stuck: open SmartSuite on the web, select the chat button in the lower-right corner and choose Send a message. The mobile app has no chat. Include the dashboard name, the widget type, your device and the app version.

Kanban View on mobile

The widget shows the same columns, swimlanes and cards as on the web. Drag a card to another column to update the record. Tap a card to open it.

Sort, Filter, Fields to Display, Group By and the Show All density rule work as on the web. Dragging a card follows the same record permissions as on the web.

Timeline View on mobile

The widget shows the full timeline with the same scale options and filters as on the web. Its Default Scale, Allow Inline Edit, Display Toolbar and Display Records Listing settings carry over.

  • Move around. Pinch to zoom and drag to pan.

  • Open a record. Tap a record bar to open the record panel. You can edit there when the dashboard and record permissions allow.

  • Narrow columns. The Scale control becomes a drop-down when the widget sits in a narrow column.

  • Filter Widget. A Filter Widget narrows the timeline, as on the web.

Note: If you do not own the dashboard, you see it as its builder set it up. Changes you make to the timeline on your phone are not saved.

How do I build a dashboard that works on a phone?

Plan the dashboard for the smallest screen first. Then add what only the web needs.

  1. In the web app, open the dashboard and pick widgets marked Yes in the tables above.

  2. Add a Filter Widget so people can narrow the dashboard with one tap.

  3. Keep the count of charts low, so the dashboard stays easy to read on a small screen.

  4. Pair a metric with a chart. For example, a Summary Card of open findings above a chart of findings by severity.

  5. Move a Map View or Gantt View widget to a second dashboard that people open on the web.

Tip: Open the dashboard on your own phone before you share it. You see what your team will see.


Frequently asked questions

Does the mobile app support dashboards?

Yes. Dashboards open in the iOS and Android apps. Most widgets display, including every chart type, Grid View, Kanban View, Timeline View, Calendar View, Pivot Table, metrics and the Filter Widget.

Which widgets do not show on mobile?

Map View, Gantt View, My Work, Record Comments, Record History, Record Details, Record Selector, Spacing and Scripting. Build those into a dashboard people open on the web.

Can I build or edit a dashboard in the mobile app?

No. Dashboards are built in the web app. The mobile app shows them and applies their filters.

Can I edit records from a dashboard on my phone?

Yes, from the widgets that open records. Tap a row in a Grid View widget, a card in a Kanban View widget or a bar in a Timeline View widget. Your record permissions apply, as on the web.

Why does my Timeline View widget look different on my phone?

Update the mobile app to the latest version. The full timeline needs it. In a narrow column, the Scale control also becomes a drop-down.
