A data analyst has created a multi-page Power BI report with several complex visuals. Stakeholders have reported that the report is difficult to read and interact with on their mobile phones. The analyst needs to create a user-friendly, portrait-oriented view for each report page that is automatically displayed when accessed from the Power BI mobile app, without altering the existing desktop layout. What should the analyst do to meet this requirement?
In Power BI, for each page, switch to the 'Mobile layout' view and arrange the visuals on the phone canvas.
Resize all visuals on the main desktop report canvas to be smaller, ensuring they fit within a phone's screen dimensions.
For each visual in the report, go to the formatting options and enable the 'Responsive' property to allow them to resize automatically.
Create and publish a separate Power BI report file (.pbix) containing only visuals optimized for mobile viewing.
The correct approach is to use the 'Mobile layout' view in Power BI Desktop or the Power BI service. This feature allows a developer to create a separate, optimized layout for mobile devices by selecting, rearranging, and reformatting visuals on a phone emulator canvas. This mobile-specific layout does not affect the desktop/web layout. When a user views the report on the Power BI mobile app in a portrait orientation, Power BI automatically displays the optimized mobile layout if one has been created.
Resizing visuals on the main canvas would negatively impact the desktop viewing experience. Creating a separate report file for mobile users is inefficient and harder to maintain. While enabling 'Responsive' on visuals helps them resize, it does not create a dedicated and curated mobile layout, which is the primary solution for this scenario.
