Treemap
Despite the fact that the treemap is available since the version 11.1.1.7.10, we still want to show you this powerful visualization. With this feature it is possible to represent space-constrained, two-dimensional hierarchical structures with multiple levels. A predefined, rectangular area limits the treemap and displays two levels of data. The size of each rectangle is based on a measure, and the color of the rectangle is based on the second measure. There are also thresholds possible for the color e.g. 0-10 red, 11-40 yellow, 41-100 green.
Drill downs are in the treemap possible as well. To get more information on “Services” in this example you can click on the rectangle and get the values for this area.
Search in Subject area
The second feature that we want to represent you is the ability to search for facts and dimensions in the subject area. You simply click on the magnifier type in what you want to look for in search field and all relevant subjects appear in the subject panel.
