Set and keep selected page size in power bi service

Hey all,

 

Some of my end users work on a laptop and then the report does not fit their screen/page. I told them to go to View and select Actual size. That works, but they have to do this for every page and every time when they re-open the report. That's not really user friendly for them. Is there a way to set this as default for them?

Thanks for your time

Hi, @DeBIe ;

Try to Use your browser to change page display.The zoom controls in your browser increase and decrease the available canvas area. Decreasing the zoom causes the available canvas area to expand, and vice versa.

Resizing your entire browser is another way to change the display size of your report.

 

Or  Page size settings are in the Visualizations pane and control the display ratio and actual size (in pixels) of the report canvas:

Sorry but this not solve the issue. There's no way to set by default on the service the view on actual size instead of the default fit to?

Thank you @v-yalanwu-msft , I am going to give it a try!
