When you author an analysis to be consumed on a small screen, for example a cell phone, there are several things you can do to make it a good experience also on a limited screen area. Some of these suggestions can only be done in the installed client.

• Adjust your screen size to approximate the size and shape of the small-screen device. Take into account that the web browser control display also will take up space.
• Hide panels and controls that are not necessary for the understanding of the analysis.
• Fit texts to the smaller area, for example:

  - Adapt fonts to suit the smaller screen. Use Tools > Options > Fonts in the installed client for a global resize.

  - Rename columns to shorter titles.

  - Use short number formats.

  - Show as few decimals as possible.

  - Consider whether horizontal or vertical orientation of labels is most suitable.

• If a visualization title is redundant, remove it.
• Think of making interaction controls easy to use by adult-sized fingers. However, design the analysis to require as little selection, tapping, or dragging as possible.
• To show summaries or trends, consider using KPI charts (authored using the installed client).
• When possible, use a text area (authored using the installed client), preferably placed at the top of the page, for interaction controls to provide a more user-friendly experience, and for guiding the user through the analysis. You might:

  - Add buttons for going back and forth between the analysis pages (the default buttons in the browser might be difficult to touch).

  - Add action controls to handle filtering.

  - Consider using dynamic controls such as sparklines, calculated values, icons, and bullet graphs to provide direct summaries of data, but also to provide navigation possibilities.

  - Specify suitable font style and size, and make sure the padding around controls is sufficient.

• Adapt the default layout responsiveness to the intended screen, and consider locking visualizations to, for example, avoid scroll bars in text areas.
• Last, but not the least, test the analysis on the small screen.
