...and everything else. |

There are four standard tabs, always present:

Tabs about Series: dZ DropZone and Workbench tabs
| In the first two tabs, you can see and work with 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
Tabs about Dashboards: Following... and Add (+) tabs
| The other tabs are like "dashboards," holding individual displays, organized as you like. |
