Bubble

Use a bubble visualization to show the relationships between three data sets.

A bubble visualization uses sizable plotted points—known as bubbles—to show the relationships between three data sets. The x-axis represents one data set and the y-axis represents the second data set. Bubbles represent a third data set and the areas of the bubbles correspond to the values in the third data set.

The following image shows an example of a bubble visualization.

This bubble visualization shows the number of Months since policy inception by Total Claim Amount. The bubbles are colored by employment status and sized by customer Lifetime Value.
To re-create this bubble visualization, perform the following steps:
  1. From a dashboard, click the Visualizations icon and in the System tab of the Visualizations pane, select Bubble.
  2. Click the Select a source button in the Data pane, and in the Select a source window go to Samples/By industry/Insurance/Data. Select the Customer analysis data module and click Add.
  3. Drag the following data sets onto the indicated fields:
    • Months Since Policy Inception onto the x-axis field.
    • Total Claim Amount onto the y-axis field.
    • Customer Lifetime Value onto the Size field.
    • Employment Status onto the Color field.

The following animation demonstrates the previous steps.
