Delta

The Choropleth Map allows you to indicate the difference between the actual and target values of a particular parameter. This difference is called delta.

Delta Options

To specify delta indication settings, click the Options button next to the data item container.

This invokes the Choropleth Map Options dialog. When the map type is set to Delta, this dialog contains the following settings.

• Value Type

  You can specify which values to display within map tooltips. Use the Value type combo box to select the value that will be displayed as the delta value.

  Value Type	Tooltip
  Actual value
  Absolute variation
  Percent variation
  Percent of target

• Result Indication

  You can specify the condition that will be used to select the indicator color. To do this, use the Result indication combo box.

  Result Indication	Area Color
  Greater is good
  Less is good
  Warning if greater
  Warning if less
  No indication

• Threshold type and Threshold value

  You can specify that a required indicator should only be displayed when the difference between the actual and target values exceeds a specified value. For instance, the actual value exceeds the target value by 10%, or by $2K.

  Use the Threshold type combo box to select whether you wish to specify the threshold in percentage values or in absolute values. Then use the Threshold value box to specify the threshold value.
