briley1, always a good idea to mention the version you are running. Based on the screenshot you have chosen to display only one metric (instance vs general) so you wont get sized and color by. I always change my widget titles from default (heat map) and I always set heat maps to refresh in a timeframe similar to my collection cycle.
I think you are trying to use an interaction of selecting from top left box and wanting to see something like the vms that are associated. Maybe a health tree option is the receiving widget.
If you can share a bit more, then perhaps we can get your dashboard completed soon.
