Mobile layout
Design reports for mobile devices
creates a separate phone-friendly arrangement while preserving the standard desktop report layout.
Build a separate phone arrangement
rearranges the same report-page visuals for a portrait phone. It does not create a second report and does not change the normal desktop arrangement.
Choose what earns phone space
The lists every visual from the standard page. Put only the most important visuals on the phone canvas and order them for vertical reading. Large desktop grids often need to become a shorter sequence of focused visuals.
Auto-create versus manual design
Auto-create can generate a starting mobile layout from the desktop page. Use it as a draft, then adjust size, order, and mobile-specific formatting. Running Auto-create again replaces the existing mobile arrangement.
Responsive visual behavior and simplified labels can help small screens, but the and report logic stay the same.
Exam clue: mobile layout changes arrangement and formatting, not the underlying report or model.
