Question about setting form factor for Canvas App from data

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 16

Hello all,

 

It seems that for Canvas Apps from data will default to phone form factor and there isn't an option to select tablet.

 

Is there a way to change this?

 

Thanks for your help,


Bob

    This is a known issue when creating from data.  It will default to phone and there is no real way to turn it to tablet.

    I would start with a blank canvas and add data as needed.

    If you want all the "extras" that creating from data brings, you can do that and then copy/paste from phone to blank tablet app.  It's a pain. 

    There are some attempts to convert a phone to tablet out there as reflected in this post.  You can attempt some of those as well.

    But no, what you are seeing is correct.

     

    I hope this is helpful for you.
