Edit Heat Matrix Views

A heat matrix view visually represents the relationship between data values as a gradient of colors in a table format. You can edit properties such as view size, the display of header and data cells, and the display of a legend.

  1. Open the analysis for editing.
  2. Click the Results tab.
  3. Click View Properties on the heat matrix you want to edit.
  4. Edit properties as needed.
    • Use Data Viewing to control the size of the view in the layout. Options include scrolling with optional maximum width and height or paging with optional number of rows per page.
    • Use Legend to display a legend showing the continuous color variations or binning for the heat matrix.
    • Use Master-Detail to link the table to a master view. In the Event Channels field, enter the case-sensitive name of the channel the table listens to for master-detail events. Separate multiple channels with commas.
    • Use Display Folder & Column Headings to specify how to display headings for the columns and the view. Select the Folder.Column option to display the fully qualified folder name from the Subject Area and column name as the row or column title (for example, Offices.D1 Offices).
  5. Click OK.
  6. Left-click to drill in a cell.
    When drilling in multiple-level hierarchies, all members from the lowest levels are displayed as cells, and the detail level data replaces the current data. For example, when you drill in a country name, such as United States, the heat matrix displays data for the state (or provinces) in that country, but not for the country itself.
  7. Right-click the outer edges to display a context menu of options, such as Drill, invoke actions, Keep Only, Remove, or focus on a specific cell.
  8. Click Edit View to display the Heat Matrix editor.
  9. In the Layout pane:
    1. In the Style box, select Percentile Binning or Continuous Color Fill to change the color palette of the view.
    2. Change the measures and columns to visualize the data in more meaningful ways by using Rows, Columns, and Color By drop targets.
  10. To specify sorting, right-click a cell in the view and click Sort. The interactions that are available in the Sort dialog depend on the location in which you right-click within the view.
  11. Click Done.
