To use the MaxDiff Design platform, you need a starting data table. Your starting data table must contain a column of character data that lists the items to be presented to respondents for rating.
With your starting data table active in JMP, select DOE > Consumer Studies > MaxDiff Design. If you have no active data tables, you are prompted to navigate to your starting data table.
