First Looks

After you open JMP on Windows, the Home Window is displayed. On macOS, the Home Window and JMP Starter appear.

The JMP Starter window categorizes actions and platforms.

Figure 2.2 The JMP Starter 

On the left is a list of categories. Click a category to see the features and the commands related to that category. The JMP Starter also lists JMP Pro features and platforms.

The Home Window helps you organize and access files in JMP.

Figure 2.3 The Home Window on Windows 

To open the Home Window on Windows, select View > Home Window. On macOS, select Window > JMP Home. The Home Window includes links to the following:

• the data tables and report windows that are currently open

• files that you have opened recently

For more information about the Home Window, see “Manage Files and Open Windows” in Using JMP.

Almost all JMP windows contain a menu bar and a toolbar. You can find most JMP features in three ways:

• using the menu bar

• using the toolbar buttons

• using the buttons on the JMP Starter window

About the Menu Bar and Toolbars

The menus and toolbars are hidden in many windows. To see them, hover over the blue bar under the window’s title bar. The menus in the JMP Starter window, the Home Window, and all data tables are always visible.
