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.
SAS Visual Analytics Designer (the designer) provides the following interfaces for display rules:
  • The Display Rules tab in the right pane enables you to populate intervals, add intervals, or add color-mapped values 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: Crosstabs, dual axis bar charts, dual axis bar-line charts, dual axis line charts, and dual axis time series plots do not support display rules.
