RE: Provide control to specify vertical/horizontal view on mobile
I agree. Most of the reports I make, I make 'mobile first', in portret mode. Therefore I don't want to make any concessions, resulting in a nice portret report, but a messy landscape report. So the option to disable landscape would be great!
RE: Provide control to specify vertical/horizontal view on mobile
Whilst it's great we can create a Mobile layout, currently we can only specify a Portrait layout. Whilst this is useful, it would be hugely beneficial to be able to specify a mobile-optimised Horizontal layout as well.
IMHO, due to the shape of a phone, holding the phone horizontally provides a more natural dashboard shape.
Ideally I'd like to be able to build two views - one for portrait (i.e. as I can currently) and one for horizontal. Then, depending on which way the user holds their phone, the applicable view would then be shown.
I am aware that it does kind of do this by default at present - i.e. if you develop a report and build a Mobile Portrait view, turning the phone horizontally then displays the report horizontally - but it's not a pre-defined mobile-optimised view; it's simply the default report.
Hope this makes sense; if not I am more than happy to try and clarify further.

Hi,
Can you please elaborate on this? Do you mean the Phone optimized reports?
RE: Provide control to specify vertical/horizontal view on mobile
I think missing the horizontal mode, not only the vertical mode.
RE: Provide control to specify vertical/horizontal view on mobile
Reports on mobile app could be defined as Portrait or Landscape, with landscape the visualization isn't good.

Hi,
Thanks you all for posting your feedback in our forum.
It would be really helpful to get more context on this idea:
Do you create dashboards for the use of others? Who ?
Do you create dashboards for your own use?
Thanks,
Power BI mobile team
RE: Provide control to specify vertical/horizontal view on mobile
Totally agree. Really annoying.
RE: Provide control to specify vertical/horizontal view on mobile
yes.. we are finding it very difficult when our view is automatically turning to landscape mode. Vertical view is preferred in our organisation as every chart can be viewed and there is no need to scroll left or right to view two ends of the tile
RE: Provide control to specify vertical/horizontal view on mobile
Yeah we are facing the same problem in our organization. We are even planning to stop using Power BI because of this issue
RE: Provide control to specify vertical/horizontal view on mobile
the landscape mode is sometimes very annoying or is there a work around to fit every chart in one screen so you don't have to scroll left and right to view
