Time series data is all about change.

Data

From the Web

Shared from other dataZoa accounts

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.

Uploaded

  • 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.
