Circulating Your Work
From dataZoa Wiki
</b></i>Circulating</i></b> in dataZoa refers to ad-hoc "person-to-person" or "person-to-list" distribution of your work.
Email
- When you send displays and data from dataZoa, you are typically circulating live, automatically updating work.
- Everyone who sees your displays stays current with your own view.
- This is very different from the typical "snapshot" approach of sending around files or images.
- To send a "snapshot" that does not update, just make a PDF and circulate that file.
