Read Charts and Dashboards
Open numeric charts from context and use the landscape dashboard reader with shared time windows and broader native widget coverage.
Open charts from the current workflow
TriggerDeck keeps chart access close to the place where the operator notices the value:
- from Problem Details when a relevant numeric latest-value row is visible
- from Items when a host-scoped item should be inspected over time
The chart screen should be documented as a focused read workflow rather than a separate configuration area. The operator changes the time range and lets the app choose the right data source for short or long windows.

Numeric chart screen
Open a chart from Problem Details or Items and keep the time-range selector with a populated series visible in one frame. This screenshot should show the focused read path for trend inspection without leaving the current monitoring context.
Choose a dashboard
The Dashboards section starts with a server-specific dashboard picker. This is where the operator selects which dashboard to open for the current server, and TriggerDeck remembers that choice as part of the per-server working state. The same flow also matters after entering Dashboards from Host Details, where the dashboard context stays scoped to the selected host instead of dropping back to a broader browsing view.

Dashboard picker
Enter Dashboards and open the picker sheet for the current server. Keep multiple dashboard options and one selected or ready-to-select row visible to explain the per-server dashboard choice step before entering the reader.
Read dashboards in landscape
The actual dashboard reader is optimized for mobile consumption and works best in landscape. The product tour should show that TriggerDeck does not try to copy the desktop layout directly. Instead, it adapts the dashboard into a mobile-safe reader with widget paging, page tabs, and a shared time-window control that keeps compatible widgets aligned while you inspect the same interval across a page.
In the current release line, native dashboard support covers more than a single widget type. Operators can read graph, gauge, item-value, clock, problem summary, severity breakdown, top-list, host-availability, and action-log style widgets directly on iPhone, so the mobile dashboard view is useful for real monitoring instead of acting like a placeholder.
TriggerDeck 0.9.4 also starts experimental dashboard compatibility work for the current Zabbix 8.0 beta and experimental line. That support is intentionally labeled experimental while upstream 8.0 continues to change. For supported widgets that inherit the dashboard period, TriggerDeck can use the dashboard’s own default time window instead of forcing a fixed app-selected range.
Manual refresh in Dashboards reloads both the latest widget data and the dashboard structure from the connected Zabbix server. If a dashboard owner adds, removes, moves, or reconfigures widgets, the iPhone reader can pick up those changes without requiring the operator to leave and reopen the dashboard.

Landscape dashboard reader
Rotate to landscape after choosing a dashboard and show one readable widget page with dashboard context, the shared time-window control, and reader chrome. This frame should communicate that TriggerDeck adapts dashboards into a mobile-safe landscape reader instead of desktop parity, including the 0.9.4 dashboard-period behavior where visible.
