RE: Difference between Display and Enable Rules

Display rules are evaluated server-side, while enable rules are evaluated client-side. As a result, there are some types of rules that can be used in one but not the other. For example, you can only use an EntityPrivilegeRule in a display rule, but a CustomRule can only be used in an enable rule.

RE: Difference between Display and Enable Rules

This is largely a historical difference. In CRM 2011 and earlier, buttons could be hidden entirely (using a display rule), or shown but grayed out (using an enable rule). From 2013 onwards, both types of rule result in hiding the button. However, there is still one key difference:

Display rules are evaluated server-side, while enable rules are evaluated client-side. As a result, there are some types of rules that can be used in one but not the other. For example, you can only use an EntityPrivilegeRule in a display rule, but a CustomRule can only be used in an enable rule.

Because they are evaluated client-side, enable rules can be re-evaluated on demand using Xrm.Page.ui.refreshRibbon to show/hide buttons dynamically based on changes to the data in the form. Display rules, on the other hand, will only be re-evaluated when the page is refreshed.
