Overview of Display Rules

Display rules include all types of highlighting of report objects. They provide a flexible structure to specify conditions. There are several types of display rules. Display rules enable conditions to be shared across objects, but not all display rules apply across all report object types.
The SAS Visual Analytics Designer provides the following interfaces for display rules:
  • The Display Rules tab in the right pane enables you to populate or add intervals for the report object, which is currently selected in the canvas. You can use this pane to specify both report-level or object-level display rules, depending on what you have selected in the report canvas.
  • The Shared Rules tab enables you to create a new display rule for a gauge, which is used by other gauges to designate intervals and colors for ranges. You can also edit or delete an existing shared display rule. These rules are shared across multiple gauges and can be created at any time.
Note: The dual axis bar chart, the dual axis bar-line chart, and the dual axis line chart do not support display rules.
