How do you change the way a user opens a dashboard using Tableau Reader?

My current dashboard opens in Device Type 'Tablet' but none of my users will be using this as a device. I want the dashboard to open with another type, say 'Default'. Is this possible?

Oh - I've found out how. Dashboard > Device Layouts > Add Desktop. - astackercya

Yes, as you have highlighted.

Dashboard >> Device Layouts > Add devices

You can also add the three devices and select the model within each device to optimise your view.

Device preview will give you this option

  1. Go to Dashboard.
  2. Click on Device Preview. A toolbar appears on top.
  3. Change the Device Type to Default using arrows given on side.
