Chart Detail
Tap a chart on a form to read the full list of values behind it.
Some Server UI forms display a chart that summarizes data at a glance. A picture is good for spotting a trend and poor for confirming a figure, so the chart detail screen lists out the underlying values in full. It is a simple read-only view: the chart's name at the top and its complete set of values below, one per line.
Overview
| Part | What it does |
|---|---|
| Title | The name of the chart or data set, shown at the top of the card. |
| Values list | Every value behind the chart, one per line, in the order the chart holds them. |
| Scroll area | Grows to fit the values, so a long list scrolls inside the card. |
| Back button | Closes the detail view and returns you to the form. |
The card resizes itself for the way you are holding the device, taking about half the screen width on a tablet or in landscape and nearly the full width in portrait on a phone. The values are the same in either case.
Getting Here
- Open a Server UI form that includes a chart.
- Tap the chart, or its detail control, to see the values behind it.
- The chart detail card opens over the form, showing the chart's name and its values.
- Scroll inside the card if the list is longer than the screen.
Reading the Values
- Check the title at the top to confirm which chart you are looking at. A form can carry several.
- Read down the list. Each value sits on its own line, which makes it easy to scan and easy to read out over the radio.
- Scroll up and down to review the complete set.
- Tap the back button when you are finished. The form reloads its data as you return, so anything that changed while you were reading is picked up.
The chart detail view is read-only. It is for checking the numbers behind a chart, not for changing them. Make corrections in the form's own fields, and the chart and this list follow.
Empty and Loading States
| State | What you see | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | Title plus a list of values | The chart has data to show. |
| No values | Title with an empty area below | The chart has no data yet, usually because the form's fields have not been filled in. |
| No title | An empty heading above the values | The chart was not given a name; the values are still correct. |
| Long list | A list that scrolls inside the card | Everything is there; keep scrolling to the end. |
If the list looks shorter than the chart suggests, check that you are reading the right chart. Close the card and tap the chart you meant, confirming the title at the top.
How This Connects
- Where the values come from. A chart on a Server UI form is built from that form's own saved fields, so the list you are reading is your agency's data for this record, not a separate data set. Change a field and save, and the chart and this list change with it.
- Where they go. Nowhere: this screen only reads. Saving happens on the form itself, and the chart is redrawn from what was saved. See Data and Sync.
- Which other parts of the app use it. Charts turn up on log and reference screens (see Internal Files), on forms attached to a call in the Incidents List, and inside a Form Popup when a form arrives by notification. Chart values also feed the paperwork produced by the PDF Generator.
- Offline and reconnect. The values come from the form already on your device, so reading them works with no coverage. Whether they are current depends on when the form last synced; see Offline Mode.
Troubleshooting
| If this happens | What to do |
|---|---|
| The values area is empty | The form's fields behind the chart have not been filled in and saved. Complete them, save, and reopen the chart. |
| The numbers look out of date | The form has not synced recently. Return to the form, save or reload it in coverage, and reopen the chart. |
| You cannot edit a value here | This screen is read-only by design. Edit the matching field on the form instead. |
| The list is cut off at the bottom | Scroll inside the card. Long lists scroll rather than shrink. |
| Nothing happens when you tap the chart | Tap the chart itself or its detail control. Some read-only reference charts have no detail view. |
| The title does not match the chart | You may have opened a different chart on the same form. Close and tap the one you meant. |
