• Key Concepts: 
  A heat map layer is a type of visualization in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) that allows users to quickly identify patterns and trends in their data. It is a two-dimensional representation of data points, with the x-axis representing the categories and the y-axis representing the values. The color of each data point is determined by its value, with warmer colors indicating higher values and cooler colors indicating lower values. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a heat map layer in SAC, select the “Heat Map” option from the visualization menu. Then, select the desired data points to be included in the heat map. The x-axis will automatically be populated with the categories associated with the selected data points, while the y-axis will be populated with the values associated with those data points. Finally, adjust any additional settings such as color scheme and legend placement to customize your heat map layer. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a heat map layer, it is important to consider how many data points you are including. Too many data points can make it difficult to identify patterns and trends in your data, while too few can make it difficult to get an accurate representation of your data. Additionally, consider using different color schemes for different types of data points to make it easier to distinguish between them.
