+====Heatmap====
+A Heatmap is one of the several types of [[analytic|analytic report]] you can generate in Data Explorer.
+Line-charts start to become quite difficult to read once you reach 5 or more channels of data - they obscure one-another and can be challenging to interpret.
+A heatmap converts each of your channel values to a //colour//, allowing you to see patterns and issues clearly in much larger numbers of channels.
+It's particularly useful when you've got a specific order to your data channels - for example, when you have Unit #1, Unit #2, Unit #3 etc, and you'd like to view them in order.

+===Accessing the Analytic===
+It is accessible from the [[channel navigation menu|navigation menu]] when you click on the background of a multi-channel [[panels|panel]].
+For example, you could...
+   * Left-click on the background of a multi-channel barchart.
+   * Choose **Report Style...** from the menu,
+   * Choose **Heatmap**
+This sort of analytic is normally created after you've used **Show All** in the navigation menu to view a property across several assets.
+===Adjusting the Resolution===
+Often the default resolution of the Heatmap report can be a little low. Feel free to increase it using the drop-down menu in the [[header bar|header bar]].
