Teams that rely on dashboards for daily decisions often must pinch and zoom to interact with controls originally designed for larger displays. Checking revenue during a morning standup, reviewing pipeline metrics between meetings, or monitoring operations while traveling all require extra effort when the dashboard was built for a desktop screen.

Mobile Layout for Amazon Quick Free Form dashboards solves this by automatically rendering dashboards as a single-column, touch-optimized view that fills the device screen. Readers get immediate access to their data without resizing or scrolling horizontally. Mobile Layout for Free Form dashboards is now available in each supported AWS Region. Mobile Layout transforms the desktop canvas into a single-column, continuous scroll experience sized for the device. Visuals fill the screen width, maintain their aspect ratio, and remain interactive.

Authors do not need to make changes for this to take effect. Dashboard readers get immediate, frictionless access to their data on any phone or tablet. In this post, we show you how Mobile Layout works and what you can do to optimize your dashboards.
