Heat Map

The Heat Map scenario allows you to bind data to specific slots in order to display geographical insights.

Example

The following map has been created using this native query dataset from the AdventureWorks Data Warehouse:

SELECT 
    c.City,
    c.StateProvinceCode,
    c.CountryRegionCode,
    SUM(f.SalesAmount) AS TotalSales,
    AVG(f.SalesAmount) AS AvgSales,
    COUNT(*) AS OrderCount
FROM 
    dbo.FactInternetSales f
JOIN 
    dbo.DimCustomer cu ON f.CustomerKey = cu.CustomerKey
JOIN 
    dbo.DimGeography c ON cu.GeographyKey = c.GeographyKey
GROUP BY 
    c.City, 
    c.StateProvinceCode, 
    c.CountryRegionCode
ORDER BY 
    TotalSales DESC;

Data Binding

You can configure these bindings in the   Data Binding Panel   on the right side of the dashboard designer.

• Region

  Use the   Region   slot to plot areas based on region names such as country, state, or city. When data is bound here, the Heat Map automatically determines and highlights the corresponding geographic boundaries.

• Latitude

  Bind numeric latitude values to position data points precisely on the map. This is typically used when working with coordinate-based datasets instead of named regions.

• Longitude

  Bind numeric longitude values to complement latitude for exact placement of data points on the map.

• Long/Lat Label

  Use this slot to assign a label to coordinates when Latitude and Longitude values are used. For example, you can display a city name or site name for easier identification of points.

• Heat Color

  Bind a measure (such as sales, population, or density) to this slot to drive the color intensity on the Heat Map. Higher or lower values are represented with corresponding gradients, allowing users to identify patterns and hotspots quickly.

• Tooltip

  Use the   Tooltip   slot to add additional context when hovering over a data point or region. Any field bound here will be displayed in the tooltip, providing more information without cluttering the map.

Property Reference

You can customize the appearance of a Heat Map scenario using the  Inspector Panel  on the right side of the dashboard designer. The available settings are organized into different categories:

Map Settings

• Show Base Map   Enable or disable the reference map. Wyn uses Mapbox GIS as the base map. Default:  True.

• Base Map Type   Choose between  OpenStreetMap,  Mapbox, or  Custom.

  • If  Mapbox  is selected, you’ll also see  Base Map Style  (Normal, Dark, Light, or custom Mapbox styles defined in the Admin Portal).

  • If  Custom  is selected, you’ll see  Custom GIS Base Styles.

• Scroll to Zoom   Allow zooming in/out with scrolling. Default:  True. If set to False, zooming is only possible with double-click.

• Tilt Angle   Apply a tilt to view the map from a different angle.

• Display Area   Control how the map zoom and range are set:

  • Auto: Adjusts automatically to fit all data points.

  • By Area: Displays an area selector on the map.

  • By Longitude & Latitude: Manually set Zoom Level, Longitude, and Latitude.

    • Zoom Level: Range 2–16.

    • Longitude  /  Latitude: Define the exact map position.

• Show Boundary   Enable to display map boundaries. Additional options appear:

  • Boundary Area   Define the boundary area.

  • Boundary Color   Select the boundary line color.

  • Boundary Width   Adjust the boundary line thickness.

Heat Map Style

• Heat Color Mode   Choose between:

  • Built-in  (predefined color scheme).

  • Custom  (configure up to 6 gradient point colors).

• Heat Color   Select the heat map gradient.

• Selection Color   Set the circle color that highlights selected map items.

• Heat Size   Control the heat radius (0–100). Larger numbers create bigger radii.
