The treemap widget allows you to display proportions of one or datasets. This widget can display a single dataset with corresponding proportions, or multiple datasets with nested proportions.
Context links are enabled by default, and can be toggled on or off. Context links bridge dashboard widgets with other pages (in Datadog, or third-party).
In the case where multiple groups of data are plotted at once, you can filter the widget to a single category and view proportions within it.
To filter and focus on a single category, hover over the outer portion of the category, and click. To go back to the previous view, click the back button on the top left header of the widget.
To access the context menu, first hover over an individual category: this can be a nested category, or group - such as Canada, or Canada > Chrome in the following example. This reveals a vertical ellipsis button in the top right corner. When clicked, the context menu appears.
Viewing the treemap widget in full-screen reveals the standard set of full-screen options.
This widget can be used with the Dashboards API.
