Add and Organize Bookmarks

Bookmarks provide quick access to files that you regularly open.

1. In the Window List, right-click one of the file names and select Bookmark All.

You can also drag the files from the Window List to the Bookmarks pane.

2. To create a group for the data tables, click the red triangle and select New Group. The group organizes the files but does not move them on your computer.

3. Enter Data and click OK.

4. In the Bookmarks pane, select the Car data tables and drag them into the Data group.

Rearrange Reports

You can rearrange reports to display them in a separate pane. As you drag the report tab, zones appear that show you where to place, or “dock”, the report.

1. In Car Physical Data.jmp, run the Contingency script.

2. In Car Poll.jmp, run the Distribution script.

The data tables and reports appear in tabs.

Tips:

Keyboard shortcuts that work in JMP windows outside of projects work the same in projects. For example, press Ctrl and then W to close a selected pane or press Ctrl and then S to save a document.

If the data table associated with a report is updated on your computer, the report in your project is updated when you reopen the project.
