==Overview==

A Heat Map widget is a good way to visually cross reference two axis of data by using colored objects to represent intensity.

For example, the AppBoard Welcome archive includes a heat map with sample data showing the hour of the day (0-23) against the day of the week (Mon through Sun). It's easy to see a pattern of increased activity during the business hours and less activity outside these hours.

{{Note|Due to the dependency on D3.js this widget requires modern Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer 9.0 or later.}}

==Configuration==

To access the widget configuration you must be logged in with the <tt>portalAdministration</tt> role and in the Builder. Click on the wrench icon in the top-left of the widget.

This widget expects a data collection where one column represents the X-Axis identifier, another columns represents the Y-Axis identifier, and another column has the actual values used to determine the intensity.

The configuration reflects the above and also allows the width of the Y-Axis labels to be set.

Actions are also supported by this widget by configuring normal AppBoard actions.
