Save Using the Layout Command

Note: The Layout feature will be removed in a future version of JMP. Save your work in a journal instead. Copy the content into an existing journal by selecting Edit > Select All, Edit > Copy, and then Edit > Paste in the journal. Or select Edit > Journal to place the content into a new journal.

You can edit or manipulate the report before you save, enabling you to combine several reports into one or rearrange the report elements. You do this by selecting Edit > Layout. Using this command is different from using the Edit > Journal command; the Layout command provides additional options that let you ungroup parts of a report and restructure it to best fit your needs.

To create a layout, follow these steps:

Select Edit > Layout. (Or hold down the Ctrl key and press L.)

The report window is duplicated in a separate window titled Layout.

In the Layout window, the Layout menu appears between the Edit menu and the Tables menu. Items in the Layout menu are available only when you select an item with the arrow tool.

Click inside the layout window. The entire report becomes highlighted. To show the Layout menu, place your cursor over the bar at the top.

Select Layout > Ungroup, or right-click (hold down the Ctrl key, click on Macintosh) inside the report, and select Ungroup.

This performs the first stage of ungrouping report elements, which ungroups (or disconnects) the topmost title bar from its reports and subreports. Each time you ungroup a report outline level title from its reports, the disclosure button for that level disappears and you can no longer close it. However, you can do many of the surface operations available, use the pop-up menu in plots, customize axes, rerun the analysis in a new window, edit scripts, and so on.

Select Layout > Ungroup again to ungroup the next level of the report outline. Note that only selected items are ungrouped.

Continue to select specific report elements (or all elements) and ungroup them until each title and each piece of a report or plot is an object.

Note: You can ungroup a report from its title bar and ungroup all of its major pieces, but you cannot ungroup a column in a report table from its column heading.

Click an object to select it and move it anywhere in the layout window, or copy and paste the object into another window. The layout window has as many pages as you want, outlined with gray boundary lines.

Select File > Save As. JMP saves the file as a journal file (.jrn).

The example in Multiple Analysis Results in a Layout Window shows results combined and organized from a bivariate analysis, distribution analysis, and one-way analysis (means and t test). The result shows a summary of oxygen uptake as a function of run time in an exercise experiment. This was done by forming a layout window for one analysis, dragging the other desired analysis elements into the layout window, arranging the desired pieces, and deleting unwanted elements.
