User experience is key in Websites, Games, and now in reporting as well. And what user experience taught me is that sometimes you need different elements altogether when changing medium. Wouldn't it be great if you could change that Donut chart to a guage or Aster plot in mobile? Or change that Daily split bar chart to a monthly one in mobile? Screen real-estate is important if you want to capitalize and captivate your users.

So let's vote for this idea for Microsoft to add the ability to not only select the viz's displayed in Desktop mode but also add completely new visuals which are more relevant for the mobile user.

RE: Create entirely new visuals in Phone Layout

I agree entirely with this idea and know that this would be a powerful component in PowerBI. I have been trying to create a user friendly report that I can use for both mobile and desktop purposes; however, the visuals that I want in my desktop version are not the ones I want in my mobile version, vise versa. Also I would like the capability to change the font size to be different in my mobile app. A desktop is going to require a lot large font than a mobile device, so allowing us to change those types of details in both versions would boost the user performance. Right now I am creating two different dashboards so that I can have one as desktop and the other as mobile in order to create the user experience that I desire. I should be able to do this in one dashboard.
