Is there a way to drill down to records that make up a heatmap?

Hi! Yes, drills should work on heatmap charts.

Ah I should have been more precise – a heatmap like a global one. So I want to see everyone in California in my heatmap can we drill down to see those records one the global visual

Okay I see, that makes sense. This sounds closer to cross filtering where you ‘drill’ and the entire vis filters to `California`?

If you make the tooltip the field you want and say count distinct list it works! However it only pulls one record, not all records

This sounds like you want to customize `drill_fields` to ensure (name, company, title) are in the drill results. If you have a specific query link feel free to drop that in Slack/Teams and we can look closer!

We typically have a shared channel, yes. It would be named something like `#omni-<your-company-name>`.

Email to [support@omni.co](mailto:support@omni.co) would work as well!
