A dataBlock is similar to a table, but much more powerful. It holds a group of series that scroll together through time, and offers instant graphical views as well.
dataBlocks have two roles in dataZoa:- In the dropZone, they are the natural way to show your account's dataseries.
- As a type of embeddable display, they can be tweaked, published, shared, etc., just like a traditional Chart or Table.
