Interact with a hierarchy chart
You can interact with your hierarchy chart to explore a specific data point in more detail or view the data underlying the chart. Hierarchy charts are available in NVivo for Mac (Version 11.2 or later).
What do you want to do?
Navigate a hierarchy chart
You can navigate the tree map and sunburst charts by clicking any area or using the breadcrumb trail.
-
Click any area on the chart to drill down. The child area will expand, displaying any further nested items. A breadcrumb trail will display at the top of the hierarchy chart showing the context of your current view.
-
Continue to click child items to step down the hierarchy.
-
Click levels on the breadcrumb trail to step back up the hierarchy or click the home icon
to return to the top level.
NOTE: The mouse pointer changes to a hand when you hover over an area that allows you to drill down.
