Toolbar Area
The top stripe of every dataZoa page is the toolbar area, with quick access to key features. The tools are split into two groups...
| ...data-related... |
...and everything else. |
Content Tabs
There are four standard content tabs, always present. They offer different perspectives on what's in your account.
dZ DropZone and Workbench tabs
| The first two tabs show all of the series in you account. |
- dZDropzone - All your series in their natural groupings (that is, dataBlocks)
- Workbench - All your series, without groupings, for maximum flexibility
Following... and Add (+) tabs
| The other tabs hold displays of interest, organized as you like. |
- Following... - When you send other peoples' dZ displays to your account, they land on this tab.
- Adding a User Tab - You can add your own tabs as dashboards tailored to particular topics.
