Editor panel for a heat map

The Editor panel for a heat map visualization contains a list of all the attributes and metrics that appear as data in the visualization.

Access

1. Open an existing dossier that contains the grid visualization you want to edit.
2. Select the heat map visualization in the dossier.
3. In the left toolbar, click Editor .
4. To add data to your heat map visualization, drag attributes or metrics from the Datasets panel to the Editor panel. A blue indicator line appears in the area to which you add the attribute or metric.

Fields

• Grouping: Displays rectangles in a heat map grouped by at least one attribute. If the attribute is Year, a rectangle appears for each year. Drag additional attributes to the Grouping area to group the rectangles into larger areas.

  Note: The Region attribute contains the element Northeast and the State attribute contains the elements New York and New Jersey. If Region is placed above State in the Grouping area, an area called Northeast appears in the visualization, with the rectangles New York and New Jersey inside. You can add additional attributes to further group the rectangles in the heat map.

• Size By: Sizes rectangles based on the value of a metric. Rectangles with larger metric values appear larger than rectangles with smaller metric values.
• Color By: Displays rectangles in different colors based on metric values or attribute elements.
• Tooltip: Displays additional metric or attribute information in a tooltip when you hover over a rectangle.
