A Tree Map is used to visualize grouped data using nested rectangles where the area of the rectangle represents the the value of the metric


To create a Tree Map

  • Ensure you are on a dashboard (not created from a template).

  • Click on the menu located in the top-right corner of the screen.

  • Select 'Add visualization' -> 'Create new gadget.'


  • In the 'Create new gadget' window, select 'Tree Map' as the gadget type.


  • Enter a name for the Tree Map gadget.

  • To display an existing metric, click on 'Add Metric' and choose from the list of pre-defined metrics.

  • Alternatively, you can create a new metric specifically for this gadget by clicking on 'Create Single-use Metric.'

  • Choose the dimension by which you would like to group the data. In the example below, we're displaying revenue by destination cities.


  • Toggle on the 'Sort By' option on the metric and choose the desired sort order to display destination cities with the highest or lowest revenues.

  • To configure the display for the 'Top 10' destination cities, set the Limit mode to 'Top N' and enter the desired number in the Limit input.


  • To show the value of the metric on the tree map, toggle on the 'Show data labels' setting.


  • Set the default date range for your Tree Map using the date picker.

  • If you want to set up a report to drill down to from this gadget, select a report from the dropdown located in the top-right corner.

  • Once you've configured the default date scope, run time filters & scope filters, click 'Save'.

  • The Tree Map gadget will be added to the bottom of your dashboard. Scroll down if needed to re-position and resize the gadget as required.
