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.

DataBlocks hold one or more series:




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.
