Changing heatmap defenitions

jmheaton — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 15:09:22 GMT

So currently we have a dashboard pannel that runs a success rate for various items.
I have been looking at a way to show a heatmap when this success rate falls below a certain level.

100% would show up as white or no heat, while values below would start to show the heatmap in a degree that i would be able to set. For instince, very light red for values between 97-99, slightly darker for 90-97, and get darker and darker going down to 80%.

Currently i havn't found a way since by knowledge of XML is very minor.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

The Module you're looking for is DataOverlay, but there are no parameters to help you change the colors.
It can absolutely be done by customizing the css.

Start by looking at the answer here and follow the trail. You'll find examples of using css and javascript as well as a reference to an app that provides examples of how you might implement it (the app is for rowcolors).

It's far from a perfect solution but one that is much easier to implement than playing with css or js...

You could create a new field called failure rate and generate a heatmap based on that:

eval "Failure Rate" = 100-"Success Rate"
