phone layout questions

[kintela]

Hi

I'm following this guide (https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-desktop-create-phone-report/) but I don´t understand several issues:

If I want to adapt the layout only in one of my five Pages in my report which is the flow? Now I'm duplicating the page that I want to adapt, then I change to phone layout and drag to this page tha visualizations I need. But In this Mode I have not the top menu bar I have only this

And I don´t know which is the following step.

Should publish the report as it is by File>Publish menu?

This publis the report in Power BI but I see the report in 16:9 format not in mobile format

Any idea Please?

regards

Hi @kintela,

From the guide you provided: 

• For reports with multiple pages, you can optimize all the pages or only a few.

In other words, if you want to adapt the layout only in one page, please switch to phone layout, and on the report page that you want to adapt, drag visuals to the mobile canvas. And don't make any operation on other four pages, left the mobile canvas empty, the report page will keep its original layout (16:9 format). 

• To change a visual, such as changing its formatting, dataset, filters, or any other attribute, return to the regular report authoring mode.

Phone layout is used to optimize the report layout in mobile device, it is not available to modify visual in phone mode. So, the top menu is invisible in this mode.

• To publish the phone version of a report, you publish the main report from Power BI Desktop to the Power BI service, and the phone version publishes at the same time.

In order to view report in mobile, we have to publish Power BI report to from desktop to service. When we review the report on service site,  it renders in 16:9 format not in mobile format even though we have changed it to phone layout in desktop. But if we access report from mobile, it will display in mobile format the same as what we have done in desktop. 

Thanks,
