In addition to saving a visualization as a template, there are now lots of other things that can be saved as saved as templates, and then easily re-used.
You can now:
- Template custom calculations that appear on a page. This is a very general feature and can be used to do everything from simple math to advanced analyses and bespoke visualizations. You can even customize the object inspector, allowing you to build features for other users in your company.
- Template pages. For example, if there's a standard set of pages or analyses you use in your reports, you can save these as templates.
- Template variable sets. More about this below.
Templates are created by right-clicking on something and clicking
Save as Template
. They are applied by selecting something, right-clicking and choosing Apply Template
. To create something new from a template, either:- Press the Templatebutton at the top of the screen if wanting to insert something on a page.
- Press the +button andTemplatein theReporttree to insert into the report.
- Press the +button andTemplatein theData Sourcestree to insert into the report.
More about templating of variable sets
Variable set templating allows you to automate lots of routine data cleaning and data tidying tasks, including:
- Rewording of labels
- Consistent sorting
- Missing value settings and re-basinga
- Changes to variable set structure
- Top 2 box scores
- Making variables created by code easily re-usable

User Interface
Reorganized variable insertion menu
This update reorganizes the menu to make it easier to find the action you need. The reorganization includes:
- Grouping similar actions together for better discoverability
- Clearer categorization of actions and variable structures
- Renaming actions for clarity
Combined with the recently added search functionality, these changes significantly improve the user experience when creating new variables in Displayr.
You can now easily organise your files in the Displayr Cloud Drive using folders.
Simply create folders to group your files, keeping everything organized and easy to find.
Important
: The folders in the Cloud Drive are synced with the folders in your Documents page, ensuring seamless access and organization across both areas.
We’ve made it easier to create and view your analysis in Displayr! Previously, every output had to be placed on a page. Now you can add tables directly to your report.
When creating tables this way, more space is dedicated to viewing them. Displayr will automatically enlarge your tables to fit the space they need.
Try it out now by simply dragging your Variable sets directly up into the Report tree!

Before
After
It is now possible to hide an item from exports and publishing independently.
This is useful in scenarios where you might have an interactive control on a dashboard that makes sense to see in a published document but not when exported to a PowerPoint file.
Read more about hiding items in this help article.
Hiding via the context (right-click) menu will always default to
Hidden from exports & publishing
