Next conceptAuto-generated versus manually edited phone layouts

Explainer

A dashboard can have separate Desktop, Tablet, and Phone layouts so each device gets a design that suits its screen. The size setting on a device layout controls how the layout fits the device frame, which is the screen area Tableau simulates for a chosen device. You can copy the Default dashboard's size, fit the whole frame, or fit only the frame's width.
Core information
  • Device layouts (Desktop, Tablet, Phone) appear on the Dashboard tab under Default. Think of the Default dashboard as the parent and each device layout as a child. At first, each device layout takes its size and layout from Default.
More details and nuances
  • Default sizing ignores the device frame and simply copies the Default dashboard's dimensions. Choose Fit all or Fit width when a layout should resize to the device frame.
