Portfolio Maps (HEATMAPS)

Heatmap page contains a various heatmap charts explaining structure of capability framework, services and technologies along with their models. It has few performance indicator charts, few governance and technology risk and distribution related charts and few charts for planning and roadmap. In this page, we can do –

Select any chart
Apply appropriate filters for each chart from header in second panel
Create clones of charts
Export charts as images or preview them in a new window
In chart, select any object for more details by redirecting to its object page.

The page is organized into two sections or panels.

The first panel is chart selection panel where we list all available chart links. User can select any chart from this list and load chart accordingly. In this panel, charts are grouped logically by its purpose. If you create clone for any chart, it will add new group at very last in this panel having all cloned items listed.

In second panel, we load charts based on selection made from first panel. In top of the panel, we have options like –

Filters – to open filters for current chart. You can change filters and apply them to current chart. It will refresh the chart and load it based on selected filters.
Clone chart – Create clone of current chart. By selecting this option, it will open a popup asking details for clone chart. After creating new clone chart, you can see it as an item in first panel. You can’t create clone of clone. So, if clone chart is selected from first panel, you will have an option to remove the clone chart.
Print chart – by using this option, you can print chart to a local printer.
Export chart – you can export current chart as an image.
Preview chart – you can preview current chart in a new window.
