Bubble Map
Bubble Map is used to visually represent geographical data using bubbles or circles to display a numeric value on a territory. In a bubble map, a bubble's size, color, and other attributes can be used to represent different characteristics or data associated with the locations it represents.
Bubble maps in OpenStreetMap are interactive and can be used to zoom in and out or see detailed information using the drill-down feature.
There are two types of bubble maps,
Map with Geographic Coordinates: uses latitude and longitude.
Map with Regions: uses relevant location with address, city, zip code, countries, etc.
Design a Bubble Map
To add a Bubble Map to your dashboard scenario, switch to the Resource Portal or Document Portal and follow the below instructions,
Use the + (create button) and click the Create Dashboard option to access the dashboard designer.
Navigate to the Data Visualization tools and drag and drop the Bubble Map scenario onto the dashboard designer area.
Bind Dataset to the Bubble Map
Select a dataset from the Data Binding tab with the bubble map scenario selected to bind to the scenario. When the dataset loads successfully, the data binding panel automatically expands and displays the data attributes available for data binding. Drag and drop the appropriate data fields in the Region or Latitude and Longitude data containers. Drag and drop other appropriate fields in the Size, Color, Tooltip, and Drill Down data fields as well. See the help article on the Drill Down feature for more information on drilling into hierarchical data.
Please note that in some cases, after you bind the city, state, county, country, etc. to the Map, the data may not be matched exactly. In this case, you will get the data mismatch error message Unmatched items exist on the map in the designer. Once you click the error message, it will display the total number of mismatched data as shown below.
Format Data Attributes
You can perform various operations to format the data attributes on a bubble map and control the display of data. Use the settings icon in the data field containers to format the data attributes. The following operations are included in the Bubble Map scenario,
Aggregation Method: Use the Aggregation Method option to display a summarized value by aggregating multiple values of a data attribute. Aggregation Method supports Sum, Average, Min, Max, Count, Distinct Count, and First methods. See the Aggregation Method help topic for more information.
Quick Functions: Use the Quick Functions option to highlight key indicators in your scenario by applying powerful calculations on measures. Quick Functions in KPI Kanban support Ranking Calculation, Percentile Calculation, Running Calculation, Moving Calculation, and Original Value. See the Quick Functions help article for more information.
Filter: The Filter option displays relevant data in your chart scenario. See the Filter Data help article for more information.
Rename: Use the Rename option to change the name of a data attribute to make it comprehensible and meaningful. See the Rename a Data Attribute help article for more information.
Remove: Use the Remove option to remove a data attribute from the chart scenario.
Aggregation Method (First) for Color Data Attribute
The First aggregation method is added for the Color data attribute. You can use it with both String and numeric values in the Color data attribute.
Example - 1: String Value in Color Data Attribute
Drag the fields as shown below.
Under the Color section, go to the attribute's settings
and select Aggregation Method. Select an aggregation method First to apply to the bound attribute.
Preview the dashboard.
Example - 2: Numeric Value in Color Data Attribute
Drag the fields as shown below.
Under the Color section, go to the attribute's settings
and select Aggregation Method. Select an aggregation method First to apply to the bound attribute.
Preview the dashboard.
Note: The aggregation method First is only applicable for the Color data attribute.
Analyze Data
Wyn Dashboards scenarios support rich data analysis and exploration capabilities to help you analyze massive amounts of information and make data-driven decisions. Following analysis operations are available in the Action Bar corresponding to each scenario in the designer,
Filter: To filter out relevant data in your chart scenario. See the Filter Data help article, for information on using the filter options in a dashboard scenario.
Conditional Visualization: To filter, compare, and rant the data in a dashboard scenario. See the Conditional Visualization help article for information on using various visualization options.
Conditional Format: To highlight specific values or emphasize specific information. See the Conditional Formatting help article for information on using various formatting options.
