Heat Matrix Properties dialog: General tab

Components

Data Cell Width

Use this text field to enter a fixed width for the cells in a heat matrix view in pixels. Default is 50 pixels.

Max Row Header Width

Use this text field to specify the maximum width of the name of the row label. If the label name is too long, it is truncated with an ellipsis (. . . ). Increase the number of pixels to avoid truncation. Default is 150 pixels.

Show Legend

Use this check box to specify whether a legend is to be displayed to show the continuous color variations or binning for the heat matrix view. See "Additional Components Common to Heat Matrix Views" for detailed information on binning properties.

Data Viewing

Use this area to specify the method to use to browse data:

• Fixed headers with scrolling content — Use this option to use scrolling as the method to browse data.

  When you select this option, the Maximum Width and Maximum Height fields are displayed in this dialog.

  A heat matrix that uses this method:

  • Keeps headers of rows and columns visible at all times.

  • Includes horizontal and vertical scroll bars.

  • May include Get more rows and Get more columns links to fetch more rows and columns of data, when the heat matrix has a large amount of data and the user scrolls to the bottom of the heat matrix.

  
  

  Note: The scrolling method is not supported on Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser version 7 and, if this version is detected, the heat matrix is rendered using paging controls.

  
  

• Content paging — Use this option to use paging controls as the method to browse data.

  When you select this option, the Paging Controls box and the Rows per Page field are displayed in this dialog.

Maximum Width

This field is available only if Fixed headers with scrolling content is selected.

Use this field to specify the maximum width of the heat matrix in pixels. The default is 600 pixels.

Maximum Height

This field is available only if Fixed headers with scrolling content is selected.

Use this field to specify the maximum height of the heat matrix in pixels. The default is 700 pixels.

Paging Controls

This box is available only if Content paging is selected.

Use this box to specify where the paging controls are displayed for the view. The paging controls include First 25 Rows and Next 25 Rows. You can select either the top or bottom of the view or you can select to hide the controls. For information on the paging control buttons, see "Results tab: Data View editor."

Rows per Page

This field is available only if Content paging is selected.

Use this field to enter the number of rows to display per page for the view. This setting affects the number of rows that are displayed with the First, Next, and Previous paging control buttons.

Null Values

Use these check boxes to override null suppression set at the analysis level.

Include rows with only Null Values — Use this check box to include null values in a heat matrix view when the entire row contains all null values. When selected, null values are not suppressed for rows for the heat matrix.

Include columns with only Null Values — Use this check box to include null values in a heat matrix view when the entire column contains all null values. When selected, null values are not suppressed for columns in the heat matrix.

See "Understanding Null Suppression" for additional information.

Listen to Master-Detail Events

Use this check box to specify whether the heat matrix is to act as a detail view in a master-detail relationship and listen for master-detail events. If you select this check box, then complete the Event Channels field.

Event Channels

This field is enabled only if you select the Listen to Master-Detail Events check box.

Use this field to enter one or more channels on which the heat matrix is to listen for master-detail events raised by one or more master views. The channel name is case-sensitive and must match exactly the channel name specified in the master view. Separate channels with commas, for example, channel a, channel b.

Sections Formatting

Use this button to display the "Sections Formatting dialog," where you specify how to break pages for printing and exporting and how to format sections in a heat matrix.
