A dataBlock is similar to a table, but much more powerful. It holds a group of series that scroll together through time, and offer 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.

How are dataBlocks formed? Series can form a dataBlock because they were:

This means that dataBlock membership can change dynamically, but you can drag a dataBlock to a new or existing tab and fine-tune the dataBlock there.
