Design a Story for Mobile

The Responsive page of a story is required for viewing on mobile devices using the SAP Analytics Cloud Mobile app (computers can also view Responsive pages).

Stories on mobile devices do not rotate their orientation. Stories can only be viewed in portrait mode for phones, and landscape mode for tablets.

Note

If you view the story on your mobile device's browser, Canvas pages are also be displayed.

Responsive Rules

You can set different font sizes for the resolutions of different device types based on Responsive Rules you create. This allows story designers to target how text and widgets are displayed for a single story when viewed across multiple mobile devices.

Select a device and size from the Device Preview Bar at the bottom of the story page, then with a lane in the story selected, open the Builder panel. You can now define how widgets in the lane will display on a specific mobile device, or even hide them.
