RSS
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
Main control
field in the Control
tab of the Properties
panel.For more information, see How to Use the Same Control on Multiple Pages.
You can now add
rolling averages
to tables that have a Date/Time
variable set in the columns.To add a rolling average:
- In Data Sources, select the variable set you want to apply the rolling average to.
- In the Propertiespanel, clickRolling Averagesand choose your desired options.
For more information, see Rolling Averages for Tables.
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.Chat to help you understand what's going on. Wh
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:
- Windows: Alt+←/→
- Mac: ⌥+←/→
Any visualization can be saved as a template, by right-clicking, or pressing
...
, and choosing Save as Template
.
New functionality has been added so if you choose
Save as the default
then your new visualization becomes the new default for this type of visualization. In the example above, this would become the new default Bar > Bar
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
Save to
to Home
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.improved
User Interface
More transparency when working with Chat
We've made a series of improvements so it's always clear what Chat is working with, and what it does to your document.
- See what you're sending to Chat.A context pill now sits above the Chat input, showing exactly which selection will be sent with your next prompt. It updates the moment you change your selection, so you're never guessing what Chat is looking at.
- See what Chat changed.When Chat edits your document, a summary of every item it added, edited, or deleted now appears at the end of its response. Click any item to jump straight to it in your document.

You can now set a
Period anchor
when you aggregate a Date/Time variable to set the first day of each period. Pick any date, and all periods align to it. Weeks don't have to start on Monday, months don't have to start on the 1st, and fiscal quarters can align to whatever calendar you report against.
The control appears in the Date/Time Aggregation dialog whenever the aggregation is Weekly, Biweekly, 4 Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, or Yearly. A Preview section shows the resulting periods before you commit.
