Biz Block is a versatile analysis tool that lets users combine multiple inputs together to create multiple unique outputs.
The outputs from a Biz Block behave like a virtual sensor which is added to your system; the outputs can be then used in Charts and Dashlets. Just look for the name of your Biz Block in the lists of data sources throughout Info360 (e.g. Data Sources, Charts, Dashlets, Pattern, etc.). If you just created a new BizBlock and don't see the results in dropdown menus, refresh the page.

The Biz Block Tab in the Info360 Ribbon controls the management of Biz Block objects.
