In general, it should automatically try to adjust to screen size. You can also uncheck the Avoid scrollbars option at the page level so that objects that don't fit will scroll.

Hi @Betty_sam

Have you checked the "Set fixed report size option"?

Best

The only solution that I have come up with that really works, is to first decide what is the smallest possible screen size that is supported, and what is the highest possible zoom-level. Then I design and test the report with that configuration.

(The report will look strange on bigger screens with higher resolution and/or lower zoom-levels, but it will work. All texts and objects will be visible.)

Designing a report for a bigger screen and relying on VA to adjust it for smaller screens is not a good way to go. Instead of rearranging report objects and changing tabs to hamburger menus (which is a common way for responsive web sites to adjust to smaller screens), report objects are resized so that texts are disappearing, making graphs impossible to interpret.

If someone has better ideas on how to build responsive VA reports I would be very interested.
