The objects and fonts need to scale based on the size of the screen. If i make a report that's uncluttered/reasonable on a 27" desktop monitor, then take my Surface Pro 3 to a meeting (connect to a project at 1024x768 or 1280x1024) - the report get's destroyed with horizontal scrollers that eat into the text.

Eric, does the browser zoom in IE/Chrome work for you here? Are you expecting the content to just shrink to fit, or are you expecting the content to re-flow to just show vertical scrollbars?

RE: Object and Font Scaling

I would not expect to have to use the zoom-controls in a browser. I would expect the HTML to react as best as possible to limit a few things from happening. 1) The x-axis content (words) getting truncated down to "Mon..." for "Month". I would personally favor a 2 or 3 pt reduction in font versus losing text to the "..." 2) Reduce the width or the bar-chart elements or pie-chart to prevent the right-legend from turning into a horizontal scroll. Or perhaps better, auto-place the legend on the bottom if the dreaded "..." or horizontal scroll is at risk of appearing. 3) Enable the PowerView POP-OUT feature. Perhaps make it highlight on the screen if the user is confronted with a graph object or table object that can't fit given the size of the screen. - IMHO. Eric.
