Quick actions

Long-press the app icon to display a quick-action sheet of your top five Frequently Viewed By Me dashboards for iOS (measured by view count and recency), or your five most opened dashboards on mobile for Android. Tap a result to open the dashboard in-app.

Search from home screen

iOS only: Within iPhone Search, filter and search for the name of any desired dashboard. Press on a result to open the dashboard view directly on the mobile app, or press the “Search in App” button to open the search query in the in-app Dashboard List page.

Shortcuts and Siri suggestions

Android: Create shortcut icons for your dashboards by long pressing the Datadog app icon, then lift your finger. If the app has shortcuts, it displays a list. Touch and hold the desired shortcut, then drag and drop it to another location on your screen to create a unique shortcut icon.

iOS: Create Siri Shortcuts for Datadog dashboards and monitors through the Shortcuts App. For a shortcut to be available for creation, you must execute the desired action at least once in the app. For example, to create an “Open AWS Overview Dashboard” shortcut, open the AWS Overview Dashboard in your mobile app at least once.

With the shortcut, you can access your dashboards and monitors through three key actions:

• Pin the shortcut as an icon in your home screen. To do so, access the Shortcuts app, and open the edit menu for your dashboard shortcut.
• Siri Voice: say your shortcut name, such as “Open AWS Overview”, and Siri opens your dashboard in-app.
• Siri suggestions: Siri learns your routine, and suggests dashboard shortcuts when you most need them, through a home or lock-screen banner, iPhone search, or iOS 14 Siri Suggestions widgets.

For more information about Siri shortcuts and suggestions, read the Apple Siri documentation.

Handoff

iOS Only: Use Apple Handoff to continue your task across Apple devices. While in use, the icon of the Datadog mobile app appears on your Mac at the left end of the Dock. Click on the icon to open your current dashboard or monitor on your Mac.

For Handoff to work, each device must:

• Be signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID
• Have Bluetooth enabled
• Have Wi-Fi enabled
• Have Handoff enabled

For more information about Handoff, read the Apple Handoff documentation.
