I'm working on a dashboard to display voting results and it looks fine on Desktop:

Washoe County Voting Results-- Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS 

On mobile platforms (cellphone), the Dashboard is unusable in portrait orientation.  Is there any way to pass a URL parameter to force the app to open in landscape orientation on a mobile device?  Or some other way to force the app to display in landscape orientation on mobile?

Creative ideas welcomed!

Hi Jay,

This is not possible in Operations Dashboard. Sorry. Please submit an enhancement request on the ArcGIS Ideas for Operations Dashboard.

Hope this helps,

Owen Evans - any thoughts on forcing a Dashboard to open in landscape orientation on mobile?

I'm a product engineer on the Story Maps team. Dashboards aren't my forte, sorry!

Has there been an update to this? I'm experiencing a similar challenge, where the mobile view correctly appears when using a mobile device in landscape view, but when in portrait view the Dashboard elements squish together (see screenshot attached).
