Viewing Restrictions for Images, Tables and Google Sheets on Small Screens
Due to the limited screen space available on smaller devices, certain visual elements and data may not be fully visible or may experience formatting issues. We recommend accessing the website or application using a device with a larger screen or a desktop computer for the best viewing experience.
While we strive to ensure compatibility across various devices, the complexity and intricacy of images and spreadsheet layouts may pose challenges on smaller screens. As a result, it is possible that some information, details, or graphical elements may be truncated, resized, or omitted, impacting the overall presentation.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and encourage you to switch to a device with a larger screen or desktop computer if you encounter difficulties viewing images or Google Sheets. Alternatively, you may consider zooming in or utilizing landscape mode on your mobile device to improve visibility.
