Scattergram graph

This graph plots key members (e.g., customers), allowing you to see where they fall in the relationship of any two measures. Typically, you see members clustered along a line or curve. The key members that fall far away from the line or cluster may need your attention. The regular format of the Scattergram is a point graph; however, the Scattergram switches to a block format if it contains many members. The default threshold for the block Scattergram is 25,000 members, but can be changed by your administrator.

Explanation

Zoom
(Point Scattergram only)

In zoom mode (available in point mode only), you can zoom in on any area of the scattergram (e.g., on a cluster of points). Click  in the upper-right corner to turn on Zoom mode. Then, click and drag to zoom.

Click Reset to go back to the original Scattergram.

Select key members (i.e., rubber-banding)

In select mode, you can select and list any key members to learn more about them. Click  in the upper-right corner to turn on Select mode. Then, click and drag to draw a box around the points or blocks you want to list.

For the rubber-banding capability to be available in view mode, the "allow spawning" option must be on in dashboard settings.

Filter

(block mode only)

In filter mode (available in block mode only), you can select an area of the Scattergram to focus on. All other data will be temporarily filtered out. Click  in the upper-right corner to turn on Filter mode. Then, click and drag to draw a box around the area you want to filter on.

To return to the original Scattergram, click in the upper-right corner and select Clear Filter.

In general settings (in explore mode):

Include Nulls

By default, the Scattergram shows only the key members with data for the selected date range; in other words, it removes null key members. You can include the key members without data by turning on Include Nulls in general settings.
