Tag Mod for Spotfire®

The tag visualization mod displays a set of selectable tags that can be used to query a dataset based on keywords.

Each tag represents a unique comma separated value in a column. Selecting a tag will mark all rows where the corresponding value occurs. This marking can then be used to limit the data displayed in other visualizations.

Data Requirements

Every mod handles missing, corrupted and/or inconsistent data in different ways. It is advised to always review how the data is visualized.

The tag visualization mod can be used to display tags in any data set with at least one categorical column.

Setting Up the Mod

Let's say we have data about the people and their pets:

A basic tag visualization can be configured to show one tag per Pet with the following settings:

• Tags = Pet

The resulting tag list will look like this:

Configuring the Mod

The tag visualization can be configured by setting the tag axis.

Using the Mod

Marking

Clicking on a tag will mark all rows with the corresponding key value in all other visualizations that uses the same marking. You can mark several tags by Ctrl-clicking on them.

Tags are marked when all rows corresponding to that tag is marked.

Clicking outside the tags will unmark all rows.
