Once your data is in a data table, you can create graphs or plots, and perform analyses. All features are located in platforms, which are found primarily on the Analyze or Graph menus. They are called platforms because they do not just produce simple static results. Platform results appear in report windows, are highly interactive, and are linked to the data table and to each other.

The platforms under the Analyze and Graph menus provide a variety of analytical features and data exploration tools.

The following example shows you how to perform a simple analysis and customize it in four steps. This example uses the Companies.jmp file sample data table to show a basic analysis of the variable Profits ($M).
