Visuals move depending on screen resolution

Hey there,

 

 I would like to create the same PowerBI reporting experience for all users. Unfortunately, it seems like visuals are moving all over the place depending on the screen resolution of the user. Most notably, with small images and buttons. Is there a possibility to lock these visuals accordingly?


"Lock Objects" feature does not help; it only prevents users to move around visuals

 

Thank you in advance!

Well if you have all those settings applied with the exact same positions X and Y for the visuals in all pages then the last thing would be making sure the page size is the same. You can click on the page and check formatting options for the page. By default it's 16:9 but you can manipulate every pixel. Be sure all of them have the same size.

Finally check the visibility of the page (view menu). Is it fit to page? fit to width? make sure all of them matches too.

That should make the user feel that the visuals are at the exact same place each time they change pages.

I hope that helps,

Yes, sadly if you have the snap to grid option turned on then it snaps the visuals acording resolution. However you can deactivate that feature, you can also make sure everything will be in the exact same place if you just open the properties of the visual and change the format "General -> Properties -> Position" manually.

I hope that helps,

The snap to grid option was turned off before it... And the manual position is applied, too. Is there anything else I can do about it?
