Click the Start-Up Script tab to add a script that runs when JMP starts up (and the add-in starts). You can select an existing script (Run JSL in this file) or copy and paste in a script (Run this JSL). For example, you could provide a message telling the user that the add-in is installed upon start-up.
Click the Exit Script tab to add a script that runs when JMP exits or when you disable the add-in. You can select an existing script (Run JSL in this file) or copy and paste in a script (Run this JSL). For example, you could provide a prompt for the user to export a JMP data table upon exiting or disabling the add-in.
Save the add-in by clicking the Save button on any tab. This effectively creates the add-in.
