Can I view dashboards on a mobile device?

You can view dashboards on a mobile device. Dashboards cannot be authored or edited on a mobile device.

Limiting the number of elements and text displayed and taking advantage of a dashboard's ability to group and stack elements are ways to optimally design dashboards for mobile devices.
