Get the dZ-Dot

About the dZ-Dot

  • As you browse a website, the dZ-Dot precedes you,
    placing itself
    next to available data
dZ-Dot
 
  • Hover over a dZ-Dot --
    You can then drag (or just click to send)
    the data into your dataZoa account

  • The magic happens as the data lands in your account:
    • The data is harmonized, so it immediately works with any other data in your account, from any other website
    • The location is memorized, so we can check back periodically for updates and changes
    • Then any changes are automatically propagated through related calculations, displays, and dashboards that use the series
