Heatmap overview

Vizlib Heatmap displaying a colored matrix of values in a Qlik Sense sheet.

Vizlib Heatmap from insightsoftware is a customizable extension for Qlik Sense that provides a graphical representation of your data. Individual values appear in a matrix and are highlighted with colors based on your measure, a feature that isn't available in the native Qlik Sense chart library.

Vizlib Heatmap features include:

  • A fully customizable heatmap with formatting options.

  • A legend control with flexible positioning (bottom, top, left, right, or radial), left or right alignment, a legend scale, and labels.

  • Support for multiple measures in the tooltip, so you can add metrics and KPIs and display them on hover.

  • A choice of color palettes, or the option to set your own colors for your heatmap.

  • Reference lines: add x-axis and y-axis dimension lines to help display targets or thresholds.

  • Full control over interactivity, including the option to turn native functionality off, such as full screen mode.
