Posted on by hkbeer

I built powerapps from template and saved to office 365 business. It asked me to pick mobile vs ipad and I picked mobile it is for use on mobiles of many staff.

However, the admin will use on PC web.

Is there way for this admin to switch to ipad version at least for comfort view instead of mobile view ?

Thanks a lot in advance.

In your OneDrive for Business site look for a folder in the root called PowerApps. Inside that foder there will be a folder called Templates and inside that folder there will be a folder that starts with SiteInspection... The rest is a GUID that uniquely identifies the actual PowerApp using that data.

Hi @hkbeer ,

Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

Do you want to switch your canvas app between Mobile layout and Tablet layout?

As an direct solution, you could consider edit your app, then change Orientation property within the "Screen size + orientation" settings of App setting to "Portrait" option (you may also need to resize the control layout within your app manually). Then save your app as another new name. Then you admin could use the copied Tablet layout app within his PC.

In addition, if you only want to have single one canvas app, and the app would be resize its layout dynamically based on different device, I think the Responsive layout functionality in PowerApps could achieve your needs.

On your side, you could consider modify your template app, and make it as a Responsive layout canvas app. More details about creating a Responsive layout app, please check the following article:

Please also check and see if the following blogs would help in your scenario:
