Using Heat Map widgets as selectors

Report objects in a Heat Map widget can be defined as selectors, as described in Viewing data related to widgets: Using widgets as selectors. In MicroStrategy Web, users can interact with the widget to control targeted Grid/Graphs and panel stacks in the document.

You can use any related area headers or rectangles in the widget as selectors. A user can hover over and select a header or rectangle in the widget to display related data in target Grid/Graphs and panel stacks. If a rectangle or header can be used as a selector, the cursor changes to a hand pointer.

For example, if the Category attribute is defined as a selector, the Category header can be used as a selector. If an additional attribute such as Region is also enabled as a selector, individual rectangles can be used as selectors. All data in target Grid/Graphs and panel stacks is updated after a user selects the header or rectangle.

To use a widget as a selector, you first choose the target Grid/Graph and/or panel stack in MicroStrategy Developer. You can also do this in Design Mode or Editable Mode in MicroStrategy Web. For details and steps, Viewing data related to widgets: Using widgets as selectors.
