A dataBlock is 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.
dataBlocks have two roles in dataZoa:- In the dropZone, they are the natural way to show your account's dataseries.
- As a type of independent display, they can be tweaked, published, shared, etc., just like a traditional Chart or Table.
dataBlock Quick Tour:
dataBlocks hold one or more series...
...of compatible range and frequency...
...that scroll together in time...
...and work together naturally to make other displays and calculations...
For managing series:
There are a number of handy tools for organizing and curating the contents of your dataBlocks
And direct control of series sharing
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.
