i have a default dashboard (Overview) for pc, and one dashboard (Mobile) as default for the mobile app.
But, for some reason i see the default (overview) dashboard on the mobile app. I thought, there was a setting in the mobile app like “use dashboard for this device” ? I don’t see it?
Is it gone? Somewhere else?
The default dashboard is set in your user profile (circle icon bottom of the left hand menu).
This was changed to a per user setting quite a few releases ago.
If you want a different dashboard to be default for your mobile you will need to create a separate user for that.
Really with the new section view type you should not need to create separate dashboards for mobile and desktop.
Different dashboards per device , set per user and using a different use per device.
Strange decision.
I’m going to search for another solution.
It was one or the other, per device or per user. The per user crowd complained the loudest.

I guess it’s hard to “be smart” on this one. “per device” is useful when you have multiple different devices (different in size, say PC, phone, tablet), while “per user” is useful when you have multiple similar devices (like several PC’s you work with).
Personally, i intended to create a second account for phone, but then i rather altered my “monitoring” dashboard so that it’s acceptable for PC and phone in landscape mode.
But i don’t do much on the phone anyway (too small for my old eyes…), but if you do i guess it’s best to create another account and another dashboard.
I guess it’s still better the way it is, since no matter on which PC i log in i get same config now.
a combination of the two was easy to implement.
My wife has a smartphone and tablet, as i do , and also i have an pc.
So I need to create a 2 accounts for the pc (she and me) , an account for her smartphone , an account for my smartphone, an account for her tablet, an account for my tablet.
And then tell her, if you login with pc, use this account, if you login on your smartphone, you another account, … crazy…
I’ll look for another solution. browser_mod could be helpfull…
As @tom_l mentioned, there’s really no reason to make separate views anymore. Just set conditions to only show what you want based on the screen type and have it all in the same dashboard. Fewer dashboards and they ‘just work’ for the user.
I’ve had this for many years(regardless of Section-view-type, which just made it easier)
With media-query and Grid-Area it has always been possible with Custom:Layout-Cards, using Grid-Layout-View
already found a solution. browser_mod can do this.
I’m not going to make giant screens, with a lot of conditions , double cards, for each different device.
So, for me, problem solved.
Can you explain here how you did it with browser_mod?
