A Pivot Table widget on a dashboard shows in the SmartSuite mobile app on iOS and Android. It has the same rows, columns, values and totals as on the web, and you tap any number to open the records behind it.
Here is the test: do you need a count or a sum split two ways, away from your desk? A Pivot Table widget gives you that grid on your phone.
Example: a vendor risk program. The Vendor Risk dashboard has a Pivot Table widget of findings, with Severity as rows and Status as columns. On the way into a review, the risk owner opens it on a phone. They tap the High and Open cell to see exactly which findings are counted there.
Plan Availability | All plan types. |

What does the widget show on mobile?
A pivot table counts or sums records by one field against another. It can use counts, sums, averages, minimums or maximums. On mobile it keeps the web setup.
Same numbers. Rows, columns, cell values, row and column totals and the grand total all match the web.
Pinned headers. The header row and the first column stay in place while the rest scrolls.
Field formatting. Currency, percent, precision, separators, prefixes and suffixes follow the summarized field.
Column widths. Widths set on the web carry over.
The widget works on existing dashboards with no setup. To add or change one, see Pivot table widget.
How do I read the table?
In the mobile app, open a dashboard that has a Pivot Table widget. It shows its title and description.
Swipe left or right to move through the columns.
Swipe up or down to move through the rows.
A few marks help you read it:
The totals heading. It names the summary type: Total, Sum, Max, Min or Average.
A dash (-). No records match that row and column.
A blank title. Records with an empty value in the row or column field are grouped here, with their own totals.
How do I open the records behind a number?
Tap a cell to open exactly the records counted in it.
Or tap a row total or a column total to open the records for that row or column.
Or tap the grand total to open every record behind the widget.
Go back to return to the dashboard.
How do I view the table full screen?
Tap the expand icon to the right of the widget title.
The table opens on its own screen, titled with the widget name.
Tap cells and totals as you would on the dashboard.
What do the messages mean?
No records to be displayed. The widget's filter matches no records.
Number of rows or columns limit exceeded. The setup cannot be shown, for example because it passes the maximum of 1,000 rows or 1,000 columns. Edit the widget in the web app.
A message instead of the table. The row or column field was deleted, or you cannot access its source table. Ask the person who set up the widget to update it in the web app.
Note: The widget is set up in the web app. The mobile app only shows it.
