Build a Platform Preset

When you customize a report, you can save it as a Platform Preset so you can apply the same customizations to other data later. Platform Presets can be built using the wide variety of red triangle menu and formatting options.

This example does the following:

Opens a data table

Runs an analysis on that table, producing a report

Applies red triangle menu options and format settings to create a customized report

Saves the applied settings as a new Platform Preset

Applies that Platform Preset to another data table

Build the Platform Preset

Begin by selecting Help > Sample Data Folder and open Cereal.jmp.

1. Select Analyze > Multivariate Methods > Multivariate.

2. Select the columns from Calories through Potassium, then select Y, Columns, and click OK.
