Another technique for obtaining more space on dashboards is to utilize the full screen mode. The full screen mode can be accessed via the diagonal arrow icon in the top menu bar next to the notifications text box icon, per the following image:

The full screen mode removes all chrome including the the navigation pane, Power BI menus, and the bars associated with the web browser (for example, tabs, address bar, bookmarks bar). This view alone substantially increases the available space for larger tiles or a higher volume of dashboard tiles. If certain dashboard tiles are still not visible in the full screen Mode, a Fit to Screen option is available in the lower-right corner via the four diagonal arrows, per the following image:

The Fit to Screen option, exclusive to the full screen mode, is also referred to as TV mode and is frequently used to to display Power BI dashboards on large monitors in corporate hallways. Additionally, URL parameters can also be used to access dashboards in full screen mode by default. In the following example, a text string from the question mark through the true property has been appended to the URL of the dashboard such that the dashboard will be opened in full screen mode:

Ultimately, BI teams must align the layout of tiles with the use cases for the dashboard and the preferences of the stakeholders.

For example, if a dashboard is almost exclusively going to be used in full screen mode, a layout that requires some level of scrolling to view all tiles outside of full screen mode may be acceptable. Alternatively, if users will regularly access the dashboard via the browser on their laptops or desktop monitors, they may not want to have to collapse the navigation pane or view the dashboard in full screen mode to see all the tiles. As the position and size of dashboard tiles can be easily adjusted via drag-and-drop handles within the Power BI service, multiple iterations of dashboard layouts can be quickly evaluated.
