Locking the View

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

I need some help in locking up the view of my dashboard in iPad. I want the user to see my dashboard only in landscape view. The user should not be able to rotate the dashboard or see it in portrait view. Does any body know a work around for it? Is there any document settings or properties in QV that I can explore? Please help me out as its very imp for my dashboard to get published.

Thanks in advance.

Can you please explain me the procedure to do it?

What I understand is that you are saying that the user will have to lock down his machine/ iPad (in this scenario) ?

With js I think You can lock screen rotation.

Verify event.preventDefault() wich must be called on page load...

test of event.preventDefault is valid for browser.

if(event.preventDefault) event.preventDefault();
