Example of Making a Journal for a Presentation

Most people use a presentation application like PowerPoint to give presentations. With JMP journals, you can avoid using a presentation application: all your bullet points can be combined with live links and buttons to help automate the analyses that you want to show. Interactivity is also maintained in reports.

Follow this example to create a presentation using a journal.

1. Select File > New > Journal.

2. Right-click in the journal. Start your outline by selecting Add Outline Item.

3. Enter the title of the presentation “My Bivariate Demo.”

5. Enter the text shown in the following figure.

6. Select the Bullet Point check box and click OK.
