Displayr allows users to structure the outputs in their documents in two ways:
- Around Pages and Folders.
- As standalone outputs.
Depending on your workflow and objectives, you may wish to view tables and other outputs quickly one by one without having to delve into various nested folders and scroll down or across your pages. Alternatively, you may wish to place only the relevant tables for building a report section on a specific page.
Both these workflows are available in Displayr and you can easily go from one to the other.
