Note the following:
•
|
You must have permission to view the post or folder and permission to download any associated data and scripts.
|
•
|
Static reports are not saved to the project file.

2.
|
If the administrator hides or removes a flagged post, or hides a flagged user profile, the owner of the post or the flagged user is notified (if they have not turned off notifications for flags). For hidden posts or users, the owner or user can attempt to fix the problem and let the administrator know. The administrator can then reinstate the post or user if they approve.

In this example, a histogram bar in the top graph is selected. The corresponding rows are highlighted in the scatterplot and in the marginal histogram.
Exclude and Hide Data
Once you have selected data, you can exclude it from report calculations and hide it in graphs. Reports and graphs automatically update.
Figure 1.14 Report Menu Options

To exclude and hide data, use the options in the More
menu on the right:

Note: If the report contains a Local Data Filter, most of these options do not appear, since you use the Local Data Filter instead.

Figure 1.15 Filter Data in Graphs

In this example, the filter choices are showing only females between 51 and 63 inches tall who are between the ages of 12 and 14.

Share Data in a Folder
A data table in a JMP Live folder can be shared by some or all of the reports in a folder, or each report in the folder can have its own exclusive copy of the data table.
•
|
If a data table in a folder is currently shared by two or more reports, you can make it exclusive. Making a data table exclusive creates an individual copy of the data table for each report that was previously sharing one copy.
|
•
|
If two or more reports in a folder have exclusive copies of a data table with the same name, you can select a copy of that data table from one of the reports and make that copy shared. The other copies of the data table are deleted, and all of the reports now share that one copy of the data table.

Under Data Tables, click More

If you are in a folder and you make a shared data table exclusive, the data table disappears from the folder and is visible only in each individual post.
Switch Data Columns
If the original JMP report included a Column Switcher, you can quickly analyze different variables without re-creating the analysis. When you choose a different variable in
JMP Live, the analyses automatically recalculate using the new variable.In this example, using Fisher’s Iris data, the JMP report includes a Column Switcher and a Local Data Filter.
Figure 1.16 Initial Selections

Initially, Petal length (the original column) is selected in the Column Switcher. All species are showing in the Local Data Filter. These selections are reflected in the graph and calculations.
Figure 1.17 Updated Selections

Here, Petal width is selected in the Column Switcher, and only the species versicolor is selected in the Local Data Filter. The graph and calculations update to reflect these selections.
Control Chart Warnings
Posts containing control charts can generate notifications if there are control chart warnings. These people receive notifications:
•
|
The publisher of the post
|
•
|
Group members the post is shared with (if warnings are enabled for the group). See JMP Live Groups.
|
Depending on individual settings, notifications appear in
JMP Live and via email. Email notifications contain more detail about the warnings.
Tip: At an individual level, you can specify which notifications you get and how often. See Manage Notifications on Posts.

|
Create many groups
|
•
