A mode in which dimensions can be expanded and the subordinate questions become visible only upon clicking (drill-down) is not available. * **Evaluating Dimensions (Clusters):** It is currently not possible in Honestly heatmaps to display only the dimensions (i.e., clusters) without the individual questions. For very large catalogs (e.g., 60–80 questions), this can quickly lead to a lack of clarity in the display. *** ### Best Practices for Improved Clarity * **Cluster questions clearly:** Questions should be clearly and meaningfully assigned to [dimensions](/help/surveys/group-by-dimensions) and named unambiguously. * **Segmented analysis:** Heatmaps or analyses should be specifically conducted per attribute (e.g., team, location, etc.) or time period. * **Use filters purposefully:** The data base can be selectively reduced through filtering and segmentation functions (see below). * **Separate analyses per dimension:** It is often clearer to create a dedicated heatmap or analysis for each dimension. *** ### Benchmarks and Comparison at the Attribute Level * **Internal Benchmark:** The comparison values (“Internal Benchmark”) refer to data from across the entire organization. * **Compare with:** Data restricted due to access permissions can nonetheless be displayed as a comparison value at the attribute level. Even with limited access (e.g., just one unit), benchmarks are calculated according to a user’s own assignment. * **Comparison at higher levels:** A benchmark for areas above one’s own unit can only be displayed if access rights to that area also exist. **More information:** For further details, see the Honestly article: [How do I compare employees on heatmap and score charts?](/help/dashboard/compare-on-heatmaps) *** ### Filters, Permissions, and Attribute Visibility * **Flexible filters:** Any number of approved attributes can be combined and filtered for heatmap analysis. * **Permissions** : The availability of filters and visibility is determined by the permissions assigned in the Honestly account. Tip: How does attribute configuration work? Go to "Employees" in the "Settings" section ... ... and open "Attribute Management." Next, locate the attribute you wish to modify and click on "Edit." A new window will open, giving you the option to rename the attribute. Also you can make the attribute visible/invisible according to predefined roles: *** **You can request individual support for analysis or dashboard optimization at any time from your Honestly Customer Success Manager** ([service@honestly.com](mailto:service@honestly.com)). *** ### Summary * Heatmaps always display individual questions, not clusters/dimensions. * Benchmarks and filters are determined by access rights. * Clear clustering and segmentation of analyses increase clarity and the quality of insights.
