Common Features
All dataZoa displays share some common features:
- Live - automatically updated whenever underlying data or calculations change
- Embeddable, with a unique URL you can put into web pages, blogs, etc.
- Can be sent point-to-point by email or SMS
- Shareable, through dZBoards

Creating
- From the dropZone, open the Gear menu and pick a display type.
- From the Workbench, checkbox the series you want to include, click the button for the type of display you want, and select New... in the drop-down list.
This will bring up the appropriate display editor and give you an immediate preview of your new display. Once you give it a name and save it, it will be added to your list of displays of that type.
Editing
Once you have made a display permanent by giving it a name, you can go back and edit it at any time.
In the Workbench, select the type of display you want to edit.
You will see a drop-down list where you can pick a particular display by name. This brings up a display editor. Make and your changes and press Save. Changes are automatically reflected wherever the display is used.
Creating From a Copy
When you edit a saved display, you can use the Save As... button to copy the display to a new name.
Circulating
All named displays can be sent point-to-point via email or SMS. If you like, a display can offer a button allowing others to share it further.
Publishing
All named displays have a unique URL that you can use in webpages, blogs, etc. If you like, a display can offer a button allowing others to share it further.
