Identify Hotspots Across Cyclical Time Periods with Radial Heatmaps
Surface trends, gaps, and intensity across equal, cyclical time periods with a Tableau
Next radial heatmap. Use color to reveal variations in a measure across categories while
preserving the cyclical sequence. For example, visualize weekly case volume by support channel to
identify seasonal peaks, quieter periods, and recurring patterns throughout the year.
