This Ad Hoc Maintenance utility is a handy way to locate groups of series and operate on them in various ways, including:
- Copy Series Keys and other attributes for pasting to spreadsheets, editors, and other applications
- Pin selected series to the dZCorkboard
- Run out-of-cycle data refresh/update from URL refreshes
Discussion
Locate Series section
The Locate section helps you identify a set of series from your dataZoa account.
On the left hand side of the panel, you can set various search criteria to get a list of possible candidates, or just put in one or more specific series key, (like MyAccount/0003417).
On the right hand side of the panel, you can filter that pool of series by giving further conditions.
When you use the List Series button, dataZoa generates rows of Series that match your current criteria. Note that there is a modest upper limit to the number of Series shown.
Actions section
You will also see a section with some choices about what to do with the list of Series.
Notes:
- Any "copy to clipboard" actions will copy plain text to the computer clipboard. When needed, multiple rows and columns are separated by newline and tab characters, respectively. Copied text can typically be pasted straight in to spreadsheets and editors.
- The "pin to dZCorkboard" action is a handy way to select Series for new Displays and Grouplists.
- The "Refresh" action applies only to Series that originate from outside data sources, and does not affect manually maintained Series.
Series Listing
The bottom section is a list of Series that match your Series selections and filters. These results are one Series per row, and have some further individual Action buttons interspersed. Initially the rows are sorted by Series key, but they can be reordered by clicking on any column header.
