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
dZ-Dot_Menu
  • 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

Web Data Highlights

  • When you drag-and-drop data series into dataZoa from other sites around the Web, we monitor for changes and make updates accordingly.
  • For sites with important and closely watched data release schedules, we sync up as quickly as the sites allow.
  • There are many nuances and details in the updating process, but generally speaking we check for changes everywhere at least once a day.
