About a Treemap visualization

A treemap visualization allows you to represent hierarchical data and structures. Information in a treemap visualization is represented by a rectangular shape, where smaller rectangles represent the sub-groups. The color and size of rectangles highlight the contribution of each item to the whole, within the hierarchy.

A treemap visualization is ideal for displaying both nominal or ordinal data as a chart. Nominal data is categorical. The categories are arbitrary labels without numerical significance that function to describe calculated values. Ordinal data has a natural sequence where the distinct (and often numerical) order functions categorize the calculated values.

The distinction between a visualization and an insight is that an insight is an instance of the visualization. As an instance, an insight has unique configurations that a dashboard developer determines for displaying a chart on a dashboard tab. Insight configurations affect the available user interactions for a dashboard consumer such as the ability to drill down into a grouping dimension and/or coloring dimension.

With three possible dimensions, a treemap visualization offers a dashboard developer the ability to create an insight that groups one or more aggregated or calculated values by one or more attributes. The result is a treemap chart on a dashboard tab that shows:

  • a grouping dimension as the rectangles
  • a coloring dimension as the sub-rectangles
  • a measure as the size and number of rectangles

Configurations for a treemap insight

A dashboard developer first selects a treemap visualization for an insight in the Analyzer. Using the Analyzer, a dashboard developer configures pill properties, filter properties, and insight settings. Insight settings and pill properties determine not only how the treemap chart appears as an insight in a dashboard tab, but also how a dashboard consumer can interact with the treemap chart.

The visualization selection in the Insight panel of the Analyzer determines the available trays. From the Data panel, a dashboard developer adds a column or a formula to a tray. A column or a formula in a tray is a Pill.

Each pill has configurable properties. The parent tray determines the available properties of a pill.

The available trays for a treemap insight are:

  • Grouping Dimension
  • Coloring Dimension
  • Measure
  • Label
  • Tooltip
  • Individual Filter
  • Aggregate Filter
Note

A treemap insight requires one grouping dimension pill and at least one measure pill.

Note

The Coloring Dimension tray is not available when there are two or more measure pills.

Grouping Dimension

From the Data panel, you can add a column or a formula to the Grouping Dimension tray. The treemap insight plots the first pill in the Grouping Dimension tray as a rectangle.

Each pill in the Grouping Dimension tray is a filterable column for the insight.

Coloring Dimension

The Coloring Dimension tray is only available when there is only one measure pill.

From the Data panel, you can add a column or a formula to the Coloring Dimension tray. A coloring dimension is a third dimension represented as a sub-rectangle in the chart. Each pill in the Coloring Dimension tray is a filterable column for the insight.

A defined coloring dimension introduces a Filter by menu as a user interaction for the area chart. With the Filter by menu, a dashboard consumer selects to filter the dashboard by:

  • a grouping and a coloring dimension
  • a grouping dimension
  • a coloring dimension

The pill ordering in the coloring dimension tray defines the following:

  • the first pill is the initial coloring dimension
  • the other pills define an order of user interactions that allow a dashboard consumer to drill down into the next grouping and/or coloring dimension and in doing so, also create one or more dashboard runtime filters

Measure

To create an aggregation or calculation, you can add a column or a formula from the Data panel to the Measure tray.

A treemap insight plots the measure pills as the size and number of the rectangles in the chart. A treemap insight with two or more measure pills does not support the definition of a coloring dimension.

You can select the measure pill to open the Properties panel. In the Properties panel, you can configure various properties such as the Aggregation and Format properties.

Label

From the Data panel, you can add a column or a formula to the Label tray. The Treemap insight plots the pills as labels on the chart.

Tooltip

From the Data panel, you can add a column or a formula to the Tooltip tray. The Treemap insight adds the pill at the end of the tooltip on the chart. You must point at a rectangle in the insight to view the tooltip.

Individual Filter

To filter individual rows for the treemap insight, define an individual filter for the insight. You can add a column or a formula to the Individual Filter tray from the Data panel.

You can select the individual filter pill to open the Filter panel. Using the Filter panel, you can specify the filter operator, one or more filter values, or the filter expression itself with the Formula Builder. You can also disable the individual filter.

To learn more about filter expressions for an individual filter, review Concepts → Individual Filter.

Aggregate Filter

You can define a filter expression that contains an aggregation or calculation using the Aggregate Filter tray.

To create a filter expression, you can add a column or a formula to the Aggregate Filter tray from the Data panel. You can select the aggregate filter pill to open the Filter panel.

Using the Filter panel, you can specify the aggregation, the filter operator, one or more filter values, or the filter expression itself with the Formula Builder. You can also disable the aggregate filter.

To learn more about filter expressions for an aggregate filter, review Concepts → Aggregate Filter.

Pill properties

The parent tray determines the available properties of a pill. There are various possible configurations for each pill type:

  • Grouping dimension pill properties
  • Coloring dimension pill properties
  • Measure pill properties
  • Label pill properties
  • Tooltip pill properties
  • Individual filter properties for a filter expression
  • Aggregate filter properties for a filter expression

You can edit the properties of a grouping dimension, coloring dimension, or a measure pill with the Properties panel for a treemap insight.

To create a filter expression, you can edit the properties of an individual filter or aggregate filter pill with the Filter panel.

In the case of the Filter property of a measure pill, you can open the Filter panel from the Properties panel to create the filter expression.

To open the Properties panel or Filter panel, select the pill arrow.

User interactions for a treemap insight

As a dashboard consumer, you can interact with a treemap insight on a dashboard tab. Some interactions will affect only the treemap chart. Other interactions will affect both the treemap chart and the dashboard. The creation of one or more dashboard runtime filters is an example of a user interaction that affects all applicable insights on all tabs of a dashboard.

Note

Some user interactions require specific configurations by a dashboard developer and therefore may not be available.

Here are the possible types of user interactions for a treemap insight:

  • Select a legend label to hide (and then select again to show) the related area
  • Select a point on a treemap border to drill down into a grouping dimension and in doing so, create a dashboard runtime filter
  • Select a point on an area border to open the Filter by menu and select an option to drill down into a grouping dimension and/or coloring dimension and in doing so, create a dashboard runtime filter
  • Select a point on an area border to open the Go to menu and select a dashboard tab to navigate to (requires a dashboard drill down configuration for a coloring dimension or grouping dimension pill)
Note

A dashboard runtime filter affects all applicable insights on all tabs of a dashboard. A dashboard runtime filter appears as a filter bar pill and displays the filter expression.

More Options menu for a treemap insight

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) enforces access to certain features and functionality. With Discretionary Access Control (DAC), a user who owns the dashboard can control the access to the dashboard. Access rights include the ability to view, share, and edit the dashboard. Together, RBAC and DAC affect the available selections in both the Action bar and the More Options menu for an insight.

For more information about RBAC and DAC, review Tools → Security Manager.

In addition, certain tenant configurations by a Cluster Management Console (CMC) Administrator affect the available selections in the More Options menu for an insight.
