Dashboard App Defaults

While setting up a new system - I was asked to create dashboards for each room.
I was working on a laptop, but the user only accesses from a phone.

Each dashboard I created, during autofill would layout to the width of my device. I would create a dashboard of specific devices, autofill, then had to re-adjust every tile so it would fit the user phone.

There are 2 ways to improve this -
A) during autofill, a question could be asked prior to the actual autofill asking 'Take default col/row?" and offer to allow defining the size of the dashboard
B) in the dashboard app, allow a setting for all new dashboards to set Column and Row.

I think B is the best option. By allowing an override of the default dashboard size here, it is out of the way, but available and affects very little for future dashboard work.

Thanks - but I'm not sure that's usable. After I've setup a dashboard from the apps menu and selected the devices that will be assigned, I then open the dashboard itself. at that moment, I have 2 choices - autofill or manual. The cog is inaccessible before you can choose the layout. After the layout, it doesn't auto reconfigure - so maybe I'm missing something you're saying? can you step through it for me?
