On dataZoa's Main Page
Toolbar Area
The top green stripe of every dataZoa page is the toolbar area, with quick access to key features. The tools are split into two groups...
| ...data-related... | Web Upload/Update Corkboard |
...and everything else. |
Standard Tabs
There are four standard tabs, always present:
dZ Dropzone
Workbench
Following...
+
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. |
- Following... - Whenever 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.
Throughout dataZoa (and beyond!)
These features show up in various ways throughout dataZoa, and some are even seen "outside" of dataZoa-proper.
