Mobile app - dashboard

When I click on a visual in a dashboard on my PC it opens the relevant report.
When I click on a visual in a dashboard on my iphone it opens the visual (looks rubbish cos of dashboard background formatting clunkiness) rather than the report.

Can I change this anywhere?  My users will have to click the 3 dots to get to the report or use the navigation menu - but I am trying to make this foolproof and I know most of them will click on the visual, get angry and go off and make a cup of tea instead.

 

Also the mobile dashboard is crying out for a swipe action so we can layer visuals into swipable groups??

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    The workaround is to define custom link (described here). This will override the default behaviour and will navigate you to the report page defined in the link.

    However, external links force an app rebuild even when pointed at the same app they originate from, resulting in slower and less responsive app.

      Thank you.  Sounds like I need to wait for the service to improve - no point slowing things down.  I wish Microsoft could comeup with a better way of sorting the voting out - vote suggestions just go into a big black hole with not muh chance anyone will ever see them unless youa re an MVP.  Probably too many things need sorting for it to work.
