Image shown hereValidation Column Role

The Validation Column role is available only in JMP Pro. For JMP, see Excluded Rows as Validation Holdback.

One way to create data partitions is to use the Validation Column role. The Validation Column role uses the column’s values to divide the data into parts. The column is assigned using the Validation role in the platform’s launch window. For information about how to create a validation column, see Make Validation Column.

Caution: The use of a validation column is platform specific. Different platforms use the levels of the validation column differently. See notes in Table A.1.
