  How to use it: 
  Heatmaps can be used to visualize data from a variety of sources, including warehouse activity, inventory levels, and customer orders. To use the heatmap feature in Warehouse Insights, users can select the type of data they want to visualize and then select the appropriate visualization type (heatmap). The heatmap will then be generated with the selected data.

  When using heatmaps, it is important to consider the range of values being represented. For example, if the data being visualized has a wide range of values, it may be helpful to adjust the color scale so that more subtle differences in values can be seen. Additionally, it may be helpful to adjust the size of the heatmap so that more detail can be seen.
