Heat Map
Heat Map is used to visually represent the density or intensity of data on a map. Heat map uses a color gradient typically ranging from cooler colors (like red or cyan) to warmer colors (like blue or green) to indicate the level of activity or concentration of an attribute in an area. Where the cooler colors represent lower values, while the warmer colors represent higher values. A heat map is a powerful tool for visually analyzing spatial information, and providing valuable insights into the characteristics and trends within a geographic region.
Design a Heat Map
To add a Heat 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 Heat Map scenario onto the dashboard designer area.
Bind Dataset to the Heat Map
With the heat map scenario selected, navigate to the Data Binding panel and select a dataset from the dropdown 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 Heat Color (is a value and is mandatory), Tooltip, and Drill Down Path data fields as well. See the help article on the Drill Down feature for more information on drilling down 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 data attribute values. Aggregation Method supports Sum, Average, Min, Max, Count, and Distinct Count 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 calculation 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.
Display Unit: Use the Display Unit option to display units of measure and eliminate ambiguity. See the Modify Display Unit 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.
Analyze Data
Wyn Dashboard 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.
