Setting up the page in a book

You can set whether the layout positioning is relative or absolute.

When you choose a layout style, consider the screen size of the device that will be used to view the book.

You can define the page size or select the page size from a number of presets.

If you choose absolute layout positioning, the objects retain their size and position, regardless of the screen size of the device that they are being viewed in. For small screen sizes, absolute positioning can increase the need for scrolling because objects are larger than the screen. Absolute positioning results in one large area that is not divided into sections. Choose absolute if you want visualizations to appear exactly as you size and place them, regardless of the screen size of the device that they are viewed in.

The option Fit page resets the view of the book to fit your screen. When you select absolute layout positioning, then the option Fit page is not available.

If you choose relative layout positioning, the objects adjust their size and position relative to each other, the data they show, and the screen size of the device that they are viewed in. Select relative layout positioning if you want the size and position of visualizations to adjust to fit into the screen size of the device that they are viewed in. The appearance of the book can change depending on the size of the screen that it is viewed in.
