  • Examples:
    • Identifying a column as Time enables temporal animations in visualizations.
    • Identifying a column as Coordinates allows the data to be used in maps.
  • DataFormat Tags: DataFormat tags appear at the top-right corner of the editor and indicate the supported formats for this source.
    • Visualizations may require specific tags to use a data source.
    • If a data source doesn’t appear in the visualization list, ensure the required tags are present.
