Issues similar to the following might occur when you access SAS Visual Analytics reports:
- Content is partially cut off or is not fully visible.
- You are required to scroll excessively to view the full page.
- The report's layout does not adjust correctly, even at 100% browser zoom.
This issue typically occurs in reports that use precision containers.
This behavior occurs due to a combination of the following:
- Precision Container Design (Primary Cause)
- Precision containers use fixed positioning and sizing.
- Precision containers do not automatically adapt (non-responsive layout).
- Reports might render differently depending on screen resolution and browser size
- Browser Rendering and Zoom Behavior
- SAS documentation confirms that browser zoom and window size can impact how SAS Visual Analytics renders content:
- Pages might not render fully or correctly.
- Some objects might be partially displayed.
- Layout inconsistencies can occur depending on zoom or window size. (For example, missing scroll bars or inaccessible content.)
Workaround
To work around this issue, adjust the report's design and the environment conditions.
- Replace precision containers with the following:
- standard containers
- scrolling containers
- Design reports based on the smallest supported screen resolution.
- Ensure that your browser's zoom percentage is consistent (preferably 100% at login). In addition, test the zoom percentage across multiple browsers and screen sizes.
Additional Information
- This issue is not necessarily a product defect; this behavior is expected based on the current layout design limitations.
- SAS Visual Analytics layouts do not behave like fully responsive web pages.
- Precision containers provide design flexibility, but they reduce adaptability to different display conditions.
