| Enable Exact Data Visualization Fit Sizing for Reports | Configure data visualization fit behavior when inside a tablix, to fix exactly. This includes chart, gauge, and map. When disabled the behavior is for data visualizations to fit approximately, which might leave some white space. This setting only applies to rendering in the Report Viewer web part. To manage this behavior for server-side rendering, you need to modify the rsreportserver.config file. For more information, see the following articles: RsReportServer.config Configuration File. Customize Rendering Extension Parameters in RSReportServer.Config. HTML Device Information Settings. Enabling Exact might affect performance because the processing to determine the exact size might take longer than an approximate fit. |
