Dashboard and navigation

The dashboard is the main entry point in DataJot. It gathers your series and helps you quickly access the values you track.

Dashboard

The dashboard shows categories, the series in each category, and a section for uncategorized series.

If you have only a few series, it can stay very simple. If you have many, categories become important to keep the view readable.

Each series card is a shortcut to the default view: chart or measure list.

Main navigation

DataJot uses a split navigation layout. Depending on device and screen size, you can move from the dashboard to a category, series detail, measure list, units, visualization configurations, About screen, or Mac settings.

This keeps context visible. For example, you can start from a “Home” category, open “Living Room Temperature”, then return to the list of series in the same category.

Category list

A category has its own series list. It is useful when you want to focus on one group.

From this list, you can add a series attached to the category, edit the category, or delete the category.

Date context bar

The date context bar controls the period shown by charts.

It lets you move to the previous period, next period, or predefined periods. Confirmed periods include last 12 months, last 30 days, last 7 days, last 24 hours, current year, current month, current week, and today.

If you review a temperature series, changing the period can reveal very different details: daily variation, weekly trend, or evolution across several months.

Chart or measure list

A series can open directly on its chart or on its measure list.

The chart is best for understanding trends. The measure list is best for checking a precise value, correcting a mistake, or deleting an entry.
