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](https://help-innovyze.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/info360/pages/15008149), [Charts](https://help-innovyze.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/info360/pages/15007787), [Dashlets](https://help-innovyze.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/info360/pages/15007780), [Pattern](https://help-innovyze.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/info360/pages/15008034), etc.). If you just created a new BizBlock and don't see the results in dropdown menus, refresh the page.
