Set JMP Column Properties

The Column Info Window

Use the Column Info window to set specific properties on a column in a data table. Here are some examples of the actions that you can perform on a column:

• Change data and modeling types

• Change numeric formats

• Add formulas

• Specify restrictions on values or missing values

• Order categorical values or row data

• Save specification, control, or response limits

• Enter a known value for sigma

You can also standardize attributes and properties across multiple columns, assign a preselected analysis role to columns, and compress columns in a data table.
