How to open mobile layout view
You can open mobile layout view in both Power BI Desktop and the Power BI service.
Select the View ribbon and choose Mobile layout.
The mobile layout view will open.
The features of the mobile layout view are described below.
- Mobile layout canvas: You'll create your mobile optimized layout on the mobile layout canvas. The canvas features a fine-grained grid to help you layout your visuals. Canvas controls enable you to turn off the grid, enable/disable snap-to-grid, and lock visuals in place to prevent them from accidentally being moved around. The grid scales across phones of different sizes, so your report looks good on small- and large-screen phones.
- Page visuals pane: The page visuals pane lists all of the visuals that are included on the original report page. You'll create your mobile-optimized layout by dragging and dropping visuals from page visuals pane onto the layout canvas. See Create an initial layout.
- Visualizations pane: The visuals pane shows the format settings of the visual that is selected on the canvas. You'll use the visualizations pane to style and format visuals. See Optimize visuals. The visualizations pane is empty until you select a visual on the canvas.
- Selection pane: The selection pane enables you to change the layering order of visuals on the canvas. See Rearrange visual layering.
Start creating your mobile-optimized view by choosing your visuals and creating an initial layout.
