From the dropZone, open the Gear menu and pick a display type.

From the Workbench

From the Workbench, checkbox the series you want to include, click the button for the type of display you want, and select New... in the drop-down list.

This will bring up the appropriate display editor and give you an immediate preview of your new display. Once you give it a name and save it, it will be added to your list of displays of that type.

If you want to build several display variants from the same general group of data, consider using the dZCorkboard.
