Settings
All options live in the property panel. Functional options are under Settings; look & feel is under Appearance › Style.
Period
- Year — the year to display (e.g.
2024). Accepts a fixed value or an expression.
Layout
- Months per row — how many months to place side by side (1–12, default 6). With 6, the twelve months form two rows.
Unit
- Unit — a suffix/prefix shown next to values in tooltips and the legend
(e.g.
€,kg,pcs,%). Leave empty for none. - Position — whether the unit appears after (
1.234 €) or before (€ 1.234) the number.
Colors
- color for empty days — the color used for days without a value (and for
values of 0 or less). Default
#e8e8e8.
color tiers
This is the core of the heatmap. A tier maps a value range to a color.
Each tier has:
- Label — the name shown in the legend and tooltip (e.g. Normal).
- Up to — the upper bound of the tier. Leave empty to make it the catch-all
tier for every value above the previous bound (shown as
∞). - color — the fill color for days in that range.
How a day is colored: tiers are sorted from low to high. A day’s value is placed in the first tier whose Up to value it does not exceed. The last tier (the one with an empty Up to) covers everything higher.
Example
| Label | Up to | color |
|---|---|---|
| Very low | 5000 | light blue |
| Low | 20000 | blue |
| Normal | 50000 | dark blue |
| High | 80000 | orange |
| Very high | (empty) | red |
A day with value 35000 falls into Normal; 120000 falls into Very high.
Use Add tier / Remove to manage the list. When the list gets long it scrolls inside its own area so the property panel stays compact.
Appearance › Style
- Language — switches all built-in labels between German and English.
- Background Color — the object’s background.
- Custom CSS — advanced styling injected for this object.
Tips & troubleshooting
- A day looks empty but should have data — check the date format and that the measure returns a value greater than 0 for that day.
- All days are the empty color — confirm a dimension and a measure are assigned, and that the selected Year matches your data.
- colors don’t match expectations — review the tier Up to bounds; a day always takes the first tier it fits into, from low to high.
