Using Data Properties
To attach data to the heat map, right-click in the Property Value field of the valueTable property and select Attach to Data. Tabular data attached to the valueTable property must contain one or more index columns and at least one data column. The heat map will display one level of nodes for each index column specified. Use the nodeIndexColumnNames property to specify column names. The first non-index numeric data column is used to control the size of the node. The second non-index numeric data column is used to control the color of the node. If only one data column is specified, it will control both node size and color.

Data attached to valueTable are aggregated by unique index value. NOTE: Negative aggregated values are treated as 0. By default, both size and color data is subtotaled. Alternately, you can specify aggregation types using the colorValueGroupType and sizeValueGroupType properties.
 

Using Interaction Properties

Commands
To assign a command, right-click in the Property Value field of the command property and select Define Command. See Building Displays>Define/Execute Command for information on how to set up commands.

Drill Down Displays
Since data in a heat map is aggregated, the value shown in a node might not be the same as the value passed down to a drill down display. For example, suppose your heat map is attached to a table where the index column is Plant and the size column is Units Completed. If you have two rows where the Plant is San Francisco, then the node size is based on the total of the Units Completed values for both rows. However when you drill down, the drill down value for Units Completed will be the value in the first row in the table where the Plant is San Francisco.

To specify a drill down display, double click on the drillDownTarget property. Any display (.rtv) file can be targeted as a drill down. Based on your data attachment, substitutions are created that are passed into drill down displays. To customize which substitutions are passed into drill down displays, double-click on drillDownColumnSubs in the Object Properties window to open the Drill Down Column Substitutions dialog. Once a drill down target has been set, double-click to activate the drill down. Drill down displays can be activated in the same window that contains the heat map or open in a separate window; this allows you to build a customizable hierarchy of displays.

Use drillDownSelectMode to control how a drill down display is activated. Set to Anywhere to activate a drill down display by double-clicking anywhere on the map. Set to Element Only to enable a drill down display only when you double-click on a node in map.

Tool Tips
Select the mouseOverFlag to enable tool tips for your heat map. To display a tool tip, point to a node with your mouse. The tool tip will contain information from your data attachment about that node.

Use the mouseOverAdditionalColumns property to select which columns to include in tool tips and, optionally, specify a date format (or other numeric format) and value divisor (for numeric columns) for each column displayed. In the tool tip, the name and value for each selected column is displayed. If the mouseOverDefaultColumnsFlag is selected, then columns you include are inserted following the default columns in the tool tip. If specified, columnDisplayNames are applied to the columns you selected to include.

Object Properties

Property Name	Description
anchor	Specify where to anchor an object in the display. NOTE: If an object has the dock property set, the anchor property will be ignored. The anchor property is only applied when the dimensions of the display are modified, either by editing Background Properties or resizing the window in Layout mode Select None, or one or more the following options: None Object not anchored. This is the default. Top Anchor top of object at top of display. Left Anchor left side of object at left of display. Bottom Anchor bottom of object at bottom of display. Right Anchor right side of object at right of display. When a display is resized, the number of pixels between an anchored object and the specified location remain constant. If an object is anchored on opposite sides (i.e. Top and Bottom or Left and Right), the object will be stretched to fill the available space.
dock	Specify the docking location of an object in the display. Select from the following options: None Object is not docked. This is the default. Top Dock object at top of display. Left Dock object at left of display. Bottom Dock object at bottom of display. Right Dock object at right of display. Fill Dock object in available space remaining in the display after all docked objects are positioned. If the dimensions of the display are modified, either by editing Background Properties or resizing the window in Layout mode, the properties (objX, objY, objWidth and objHeight) of docked objects will automatically adapt to match the new size of the display. When multiple objects are docked to the same side of the display, the first object is docked against the side of the display, the next object is docked against the edge of the first object, and so on. When objects are docked to multiple sides of the display, the order in which objects were added to the display controls docking position. For example, let's say the first object added to the display is docked at the Top and the second object is docked at the Left. Consequently, the first object will fill the entire width of the display and the second object will fill the left side of the display from the bottom of the first object to the bottom of the display. Objects in a display have the dock property set to Fill, are laid out across a grid in the available space remaining after all docked objects are positioned. By default, the grid has one row and as many columns as there are objects in the display. You can modify the grid in the Background Properties dialog. Once an object is docked, there are some limitations on how that object can be modified. Docked objects cannot be dragged or repositioned using objX and objY properties. Docked objects cannot be resized using the objWidth or objHeight properties. To resize you must drag on the resize handle. Docked objects can only be resized toward the center of the display (e.g. If an object is docked at the Top, only its height can be increased by dragging down toward the center of the display). Docked objects set to Fill cannot be resized at all. Docked objects cannot be moved using Align. Non-docked objects can be aligned against a docked object, but a docked object will not move to align against another object. Docked objects are ignored by Distribute.
objHeight	Set height of the object in pixels.
objName	Name given to facilitate object management via the Object List dialog. Select Tools>Object List.
objWidth	Set width of the object in pixels.
objX	Set the x position of the object.
objY	Set the y position of the object.
styleClass	Enter the style class name for this object as defined in your style sheet. If not specified, the object class name is used. NOTE: The value entered must not contain spaces and cannot start with rtv-.
transparencyPercent	Sets the transparency of the object. This property only applies to the background of the composite object.
visFlag	Set the visibility of the object.

Quality Properties

If the specified valueQuality matches, the selected corresponding valueDataQuality*Color will be applied to all nodes in the heat map. NOTE: The valueQuality property is ignored if the valueQualityEnabledFlag is deselected.
valueQualityColumnName	Specify a column in the valueTable to compare, per row, to settings for the valueQualityLostData and valueQualityNoData properties. If values in the specified valueQualityColumnName matches, the selected corresponding valueQuality*Color will be selectively applied to each node in the heat map. If the valueTable contains multiple rows for a single index, the highest data quality value is used. NOTE: The valueQualityColumnName property is ignored if the valueQualityEnabledFlag is deselected.
valueQualityEnabledFlag	If selected, nodes are colored based on data quality.
valueQualityLostData	Enter the lost data value.
valueQualityLostDataColor	Select the button and choose from the palette to set the node color if the value matches the specified valueQualityLostData.
