A dataBlock is a display similar to a table, but much more powerful. It holds a group of series that scroll together through time, and offer instant graphical views as well.


Grouping and Ordering

How are dataBlocks formed? Series can form a dataBlock because they were:

   * Dragged in from the Web as a group, using the dzDot
   * Manually uploaded as a group
   * Explicitly grouped by you

This means that dataBlock membership can change dynamically, but you can drag a dataBlock to a new or existing tab and fine-tune the dataBlock there.
