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
• Automated footers, for attributions, exporting, etc.

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.
