A dataBlock is similar to a table, but much more powerful. It holds a group of series that scroll together through time, and offers instant graphical views as well.
- In the dropZone, they are the natural way to show your account's dataseries.
- As a type of embeddable display, they can be tweaked, published, shared, etc., just like a traditional Chart or Table.

How Series are grouped and ordered in dataBlocks
Within the dropZone
When you drop new data series into your account, the view shows them grouped as dataBlocks.
dropZone
dataBlocks in the dropZone contain series that were:
- Dragged in from the Web as a group, using the dZ-Dot, or
- Manually uploaded as a group
As independent dataBlock displays
Once you save a dataBlock as a permanent display, use the dataBlock display editor to make changes.
