Quick BI:Heat Map

Prerequisites

• You have created a dashboard. For more information, see Create a dashboard.

• Ensure that the geographical area fields you want to add have been converted to a geographical data type. For more information, see Configure fields.

  Note

  If you want to add an area field to the chart, it is converted to geographical information only when the following icon appears next to it. For a list of standard names for countries, provinces, cities, and districts, see public-area-info .xlsx. This file is provided only for reference in matching geographical areas and does not reflect the political stance of Quick BI.

Limits

If you create a heat map using the Region Name pattern, the map consists of the Region Name/Dimension and Heat Intensity/Measure fields:

• The Region Name/Dimension field requires one geographical dimension, such as province.

• The Heat Intensity/Measure field requires one to five measures, such as order amount and profit amount.

If you create a heat map using the Latitude and Longitude pattern, the map consists of the Latitude and Longitude/Dimension, Location Label/Dimension, and Heat Intensity/Measure fields:

• The Longitude and Latitude are determined by the dimension fields of the data. You can select a maximum of one longitude field and one latitude field.

• The Location Label/Dimension field is optional and supports string or geographical dimensions.

• The Heat Intensity/Measure field requires one to five measures, such as order amount and profit amount.

Overview

Scenarios

Heat maps are used to display the geographical distribution of data for areas such as administrative regions, prefecture-level cities, streets, or specific geographic coordinates.

Benefits

• Visualization: Supports heat maps.

• Interactive operations: You can select and zoom in on a part of a heat map, switch measures, or filter data within the component.

Configure Chart Styles

This section describes how to configure chart styles. For general style configurations, see Configure the Chart Title.

Geographical Region

In the Map Region section, configure the Display range and Outline and Fill settings.

• In Display range, select Auto or Custom. In this example, select China.

  Note

  • Auto adjusts the display range based on your data. Custom lets you manually set the range. The Auto option is always used for interactive analysis.

  • The custom display range supports continents, countries, Chinese regions, provinces, and cities.

  

  Turn on Manual adjustment to generate the current centroid and scaling value. You can then adjust them manually.

• In Outline and Fill, set the block background color and outline color.

  Note

  Outlines are not supported for some regions.
