Now you can treat Nominal and Ordinal variables as waves in statistical tests.
- Select your wave variable set in the Data Sources tree
- Toggle on “Treat as wave in statistical tests” in the Object Inspector.
- The variable set will be set to ‘compare against previous period’ in tests of statistical significance in the same way as Date/Time variables are.
Related features:
- The Data Preparation Agent will identify variable sets that should be treated as waves and automatically toggle the "Treat as wave in statistical tests" setting on.
- The "Treat as wave in statistical tests" setting will be automatically triggered if you try to convert a Nominal or Ordinal variable set to Date/Time and it can’t be converted.
- Similar functionality coming soon to Binary - Multi variable sets (useful if you report rolling averages)

Data Preparation Agent improvements
We've added new steps to the Data Preparation Agent:
- Convert dates saved as Text/Nominal/Ordinal variables to Date/Time variable sets:Identifies dates stored in your data set as Text, Nominal or Ordinal variables and converts them to Date/Time structure.
- Flag respondents who completed the survey in an abnormally short time:Flags respondents who completed the survey unusually quickly. These flags help to identify lazy respondents and bots in your data set, and are (optionally) taken into consideration when the agent deletes poor quality cases from your data set.
You can now preview AI-generated commentary before adding it to your document. Hover over the ‘Add Commentary’ button on the navigational toolbar to see a preview of the commentary. Add it to your page with one click, or modify your analysis goals to refine the result.

User Interface
Drag and drop into slots
We’ve made it quicker and easier to work with page master slots. You can now drag and drop variable sets, text boxes, tables, visualizations and calculations directly into placeholders as follows:
- Variable sets can be added to Content placeholders to create a table
- Text items can be added to Title, Text and Content placeholders
- Tables, visualizations and calculations can be added to Content placeholders
We’ve updated menus throughout the app so that options that are not applicable to your selection are disabled.
If you hover over a disabled option, a tooltip will describe the conditions under which the option will be enabled.
For users who
don't
have a regional guarantee (which is most users), we're migrating from Google's Gemini 2.0 to GPT-5.0 for most of our AI. This is a phased transition which will likely take about a month, and will lead to higher accuracy but some slower compute times for some AI features. See also Displayr AI - Terms of Use.Vertical and horizontal scrollbars are now automatically enabled for Autofit or CreateCustomTable R tables in instances where your content does not fit the table.
This removes the need to manually edit the R code.
Scrollbars can be manually disabled/enabled in the Object Inspector, and are best used with customized column widths and row heights.
You can now search for both published and unpublished documents. Previously, only published documents appeared in search results. This update makes it easier to find documents, especially documents stored in folders.
You can now customize the text shown for the “(All)” and “(Select All)” options in multiple-selection combo boxes.
Two new fields have been added at the bottom of the Object Inspector when a multiple-selection combo box is selected:
- “Select All” option– controls the label used for the option that selects all available choices.
- All options selected– controls the label displayed when all options have been selected.
This gives you more flexibility to match your combo box labels to your app’s tone and language.
