Heat Map

[machei]

Sorry if this has been answered before. I don't think it has. Can someone explain to me exactly how the heat map report works, and what it's supposed to be telling me?

[unimike]

I am wondering same thing.

Hey @machei and @unimike,

Here is some of the initial discussion rationale on the heat map. Hope it helps.

Thanks for that. I get it now, sorta. I understand that it's a visual representation of income and expenditure by date as shown through gradient. I suppose as an overview, it's interesting, but I imagine that everyone's will sorta look the same--especially the red. I spend almost every day. Income happens less often and more regularly. Perhaps this report isn't as useful for someone with predictable income. It might be a little more useful if clicking the cell in question took you to the expense/income. That'd be a fast way to get to those big income/expenses if you wanted to know.

I like it as a visualization of ins and outs but you would also like to see others. Perhaps a histrogram with +ve above the X-axis (day/time) and -ve below?

The real power of this report will come when you can filter by category, etc.

It's mostly just an experiment of mine.

Oo, yes, that would make it better for sure. As a platform, Financier has such potential for awesomeness. Happy to be on board! Thanks for your hard work!
