Automatic Updates

Time series are all about change. dataZoa is built to recognize changes and propagate them wherever appropriate.

Data

When you drag-and-drop data series into dataZoa from other sites around the Web, we monitor for changes and make updates accordingly.
For sites with important and closely watched data release schedules, we sync up as quickly as we can while trying not to be overly demanding.
There are many nuances and details in the updating process, but generally speaking we check for changes everywhere at least once a day.

Despite all appearances, we do not have magic powers. When you have uploaded your own data you will need to keep it up to date by updating it or re-loading.
If you are officially responsible for some particular data, encourage your colleagues to follow it in dataZoa rather than making copies!
Don't forget to preserve your series keys if you re-load your data. That's how your displays and calculations stay up to date.

Changes to data in your account which is not owned by you but is rather shared with you (or followed by you) are fully propagated.

dataZoa displays are not static snapshots. If you embed a dataZoa display into a presentation, the presentation will show the up-to-the-moment state of things.
Whenever you view a dataZoa display, you are seeing the current state of the data, not a copy of how things were at the time it was created.
That said, dataZoa does not refresh displays that are currently on screen; the on-screen display stays put until you refresh it.
If you embed a dataZoa display into a presentation, the presentation will show the up-to-the-moment state of things.
