Configuring the Investment Map Display
|
You can set several configuration options to change the display
of the Investment Map view. You can specify what data should
be used for the X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) axes, and you can specify
what determines the size and color of the workspace bubbles.
To configure the Investment Map display:
- From the X-Axis
list, select the field whose data you want to be represented in the horizontal
axis of the chart.
To reverse the scale on the axis, select Reverse
order or, if it is already selected, clear the box.
Options include the following field type:
- Currency
(for example, Budget or Cost-related fields)—Axis
ranges from smallest to largest for the workspaces being displayed and is
split in 10 equal segments.
- Decimal
(for example, Budget or Cost-related fields)—Axis
ranges from smallest to largest for the workspaces being displayed and is
split in 10 equal segments.
- Percentage
(for example, Percent Complete)—Axis
ranges from 0 to 100 and is split in 10 equal segments.
- Pick List
(for example Priority)—Axis
shows all list items and is split in increments, one for each item. Axis
increments are labeled with text descriptions for the items and ordered
based on list type: as defined by the field definitions (for regular lists)
or by value (for weighted lists).
- Time
Duration (for example Planned Duration, Scheduled Work)—Axis ranges
from the minimum to the maximum for the workspaces being displayed and is
split into 10 segments (or as close to 10 as possible, based on the intervals
involved).
- From the Y-Axis
list, select the field whose data you want to be represented in the vertical
axis of the chart.
To reverse the scale on the axis, select Reverse
order or, if it is already selected, clear the box.

Size list, select the field whose data you want represented by
the size of the workspace bubble.

bubble, for example), select Reverse
order or, if it is already selected, clear the box.
Options include:

- Percentage
- Time Duration
- Weighted Pick list
- From the Bubble
Color list, select the field whose data will determine the bubble
color.
