Rules are a mechanism in Displayr for customizing the appearance and data in a table. Displayr comes with a large library of pre-made rules, but you can also create custom rules.

Rules have been added to Chat, so you can apply existing rules via Chat, and Chat can create custom rules for you.

For example, when I ask Chat to do this:

You get this:

A rule can be applied to all the tables in a document, and set so it automatically applies to any new tables.

For more about rules, see How to Use Rules in Displayr.

You can now duplicate a Displayr document using Displayr's API.  If you're not familiar with Displayr's API, here's a guide on getting started.

Inspect and edit the inputs to your table, visualizations, etc. without searching for them. Hover over an input control, then click the arrow that appears to select the input.

You can now use the same control across multiple pages in a Displayr document.

Previously, controls could not be shared across page masters. For example, if one page master contained an Age control and another contained Age and Brand controls, the two Age controls would not stay in sync.

Now, you can sync controls across pages and page masters.

To do this, use the field in the tab of the panel.

For more information, see How to Use the Same Control on Multiple Pages.

You can now add to tables that have a variable set in the columns.

To add a rolling average:

Sometimes errors and warnings can be a bit mysterious. We've added a new button. When you click it, the error message and relevant context is passed to Chat, providing you with an explanation and making it easier to get clarification.

We've added back and forward buttons, so you can easily navigate your selection history, in much the same way that you use forward and back buttons when using a web browser. There are also dropdowns so you can skip back and forward mutliple selections at a time.

You can also go forward and back using shortcuts:

Any visualization can be saved as a template, by right-clicking, or pressing , and choosing .

New functionality has been added so if you choose then your new visualization becomes the new default for this type of visualization. In the example above, this would become the new default chart.

The templates are saved into the Cloud Drive. You can change what folder they are in, which will determine which documents the default applies to. For example, if you set to it becomes the default for your entire company. If you save it in a different folder, it's the default for that folder, and any sub-folders, unless they have different defaults set.

We've made a series of improvements so it's always clear what Chat is working with, and what it does to your document.

We've tidied up code-related controls in the Properties panel:

This is a layout and labelling change only. The behavior of your code is unchanged.
