Toolbars consist of buttons that execute commands and dividers that help you organize the buttons. In Windows, there are many ways to personalize toolbars. For example, you can create, rename, hide, and modify toolbars or buttons. You can also rearrange or delete toolbars and buttons that you create.
Menus consist of commands, submenus, and separators. As with toolbars and buttons, you can create, rename, hide, and modify menus. You can also rearrange or delete menus and menu items that you create.
You personalize toolbars and menus in the Menu Editor. The names of modified items are formatted to indicate which items were created, modified, or hidden, and which items are unsaved, as shown in Menu Editor Options.
JMP gives you the flexibility to specify which users see your customized toolbars and buttons. Your changes are saved in a text file with the .jmpcust extension called a customization set. By default, your customizations are shown only to the current user; other users who log on to the computer and open JMP do not see your personal toolbars and menus.
When you modify the Current user customization set, JMP creates a backup file of the set. The file is located in your Windows Users folder within the JMP, JMPPro, or JMPSW folder.
When you modify the All users customization set, JMP creates a backup file of the set. The file is located in the Windows All Users folder within the JMP, JMPPro, or JMPSW folder.
The All Users folder does not appear when you try to browse for it, so you must type the path into the Windows Explorer address field.

Changes appear when the selected .jmpcust file is chosen as the customization set. You create this file in a text editor.

JMP includes toolbars that you can add new buttons to, or you can create your own toolbars. By default, the JMP window type determines which bars appear. For example, the File_Edit toolbar is in all windows. In data tables, the Data Tables toolbar also appears. JMP Toolbars describes the toolbars.
When you want to create a toolbar based on an existing toolbar, make a copy of the existing toolbar and then change settings as necessary. See Copy and Paste Menus, Menu Items, Toolbars, and Buttons for details.

Add your own menu items to the main menu bar in JMP. These menus appear before or after menus such as File, Edit, and Tables. An untitled command is inserted automatically in the menu, because all menus must have at least one command.
When you want to create a main menu based on an existing menu, make a copy of the existing menu and then change settings as necessary. See Copy and Paste Menus, Menu Items, Toolbars, and Buttons for details.

Clicking a menu item or button either executes a predefined command or runs a JSL script. The script can be stored in a separate file, or you can enter the JSL in the Run this JSL area of the Menu Editor. If users have access to a central location, such as a network, you typically want to run the script from that location. This also simplifies giving users access to updated scripts. Otherwise, store the JSL in the menu item or button definition.
•
|
Select Run JSL in this file, and then browse to find the external file.
|
•
|
Type the relative path to the JSL script, and select the add-in from the Use add-in home folder list. For example, the following command runs the mds_application.jsl script from the selected add-in:
|
In addition, you can select Use the “Here” namespace for unqualified JSL variable names if you include namespaces in the internal or external JSL script. See the Scripting Guide book for details about namespaces.

|
To run an internal JSL script, delete the placeholder text print(“Not implemented.”); in the Run this JSL area and enter the JSL.

(Optional) If your internal or external JSL script includes namespaces, click Use the “Here” namespace for unqualified JSL variable names.

New menu items have no icon next to the item. New buttons show up as blue squares on the toolbars. You can assign a descriptive icon to the menu item or button. The graphic can reside on your computer or in an add-in folder. .ico, .png, .jpg, and .bmp graphics are supported.
Select this option to show an image that you created. Click Browse, select the graphic, and then click OK. You can also use an icon defined in an add-in. Select Use add-in home folder, and then select the add-in.

Shortcuts begin with CTRL, CTRL+SHIFT, CTRL+ALT and end with a number, letter, or symbol that appears on the keyboard. The Function keys (such as F1) are also supported. Many CTRL + letter and Function shortcuts are already assigned in JMP, but you can reassign them to your buttons if you want.

To specify the new location rather than drag the toolbar, right-click the toolbar and select a position from the Location menu. This method lets you move toolbars to the top or bottom of the window. You can also position the toolbars vertically on the left or right side of the window.
|
In some windows, the toolbar is hidden by default. Specifying a new location shows the toolbar in all windows of that type. On Windows, you can change the toolbar preferences to always show toolbars. See Windows Specific in JMP Preferences

On Windows, you can rearrange the order of menus, menu items, and buttons that you create. For example, under the File > New menu, you could move your custom menu before the Data Table command.
In the item’s General properties, the Source determines whether you can move the item. You can move items if the Source is Custom Item. Built-in items cannot be moved. Items that are defined in other customization sets can be moved only in that customization set. See Change Customization Sets for details.
