Analyzing data in an Interactive Bubble Graph widget
To analyze data in the Interactive Bubble Graph widget:
• To view metric information for a bubble, hover over the bubble.
• To highlight groups of related data in the widget, hover over an item in
the graph legend to highlight all bubbles associated with that item.
• To see underlying data within a bubble, double-click on any of the
bubbles. For example, you can drill on a Region bubble (the parent
attribute) down to bubbles that represent different cities (child
attributes) within that region. In the widget shown above, the green
bubbles have been drilled to their child attribute bubbles.
• To see an animation that plots the bubble values through time, move the
time slider or click the animation play button.
• If the document contains a Grid/Graph report or a panel stack that is
connected to this widget, click a bubble in the graph or an item in the
graph legend to display related data in connected Grid/Graph reports and
panel stacks.
• You can change which metric is displayed on which axis. For example, in
the widget shown above, the Profit Margin is displayed on the X-axis (the
horizontal axis) and the Minimum Revenue per Customer on the Y-axis
(the vertical axis). You can switch the metrics, so that the Profit Margin is
shown on the Y-axis, and the Minimum Revenue per Customer on the
X-axis.
• To zoom in and enlarge a section of the widget, draw a selection box (or
lasso) around a cluster of bubbles, and enlarge that area of the widget.
You can return to the original view when you have finished reviewing the
data.
• To link to another document or a report, hover the cursor over a bubble in
the widget. The Links menu is displayed. Click a link in the menu to open
the target document or report. For an example, see Executing a report or
another document from an Interactive Bubble Graph widget, page 107.
Not all features described above are enabled in all documents.
