Visualizing the intensity of data values (Heatmap)

Description

The following views are available in the detail view of the Heatmap:

Procedure

To define widget-specific display options, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new widget or edit the existing one.

  2. In step 3 "Details", you define

    • The KPI calculation period

    • Whether the data is displayed in the day view or the week view.

    • The color in which the different intensities are to be displayed.

    If required, specify the values for minimum and maximum of the color scaling.

    • If you do not define fixed values, the lowest and the highest measured value is used for the color scale. In case of extreme peaks, the Heatmap may return a distorted picture.
