Fitting Report to IPAD screen

Hi there

I am struggling to get my report to fit to an ipad screen on the mobile app.
The width is no problem since the app resizes the content horizontally which is perfect.

However, depending on the selections, my chart (which is at the bottom) fluctuates from big to small, and sometimes required scrolling down.
Is there anyway I can prevent this. I looked at size/overflow settings, and clipping seems to be the only way - however, seems pointless to me - as cant see how it is acceptable to have content cut off.

Many thanks
Chris

Hi,

It's a design issue rather than a technical fix here. In the Cognos app on old iPads, the available landscape was 1024 x 704 pixels. If you build a report that overall maintains this ratio for the page, it will always fit perfectly (eg 2048 x 1408 would also be a perfect fit). Use tables and sizes to fix the layout and size of each object on the page.

Cheers!

MF.
Meep!
