Share Reports to JMP Live

Note: You must use JMP 17.0 or later to publish to JMP Live 17 or 18. To see which version of JMP Live you are using, log in to JMP Live and click Image shown here.

JMP Live is web-based software purchased (or licensed) by your organization for hosting and sharing JMP reports or data privately. You can share JMP Live reports or data with colleagues who do not have JMP.

Note on Data Accessibility

The data that is represented in your published reports will exist in interactive HTML format as well as in the JMP data table format. Disabling download permission prevents any user who has access to the JMP Live post from being able to download the data in the JMP data table format, but it does not prevent a user from being able to get the HTML containing the data in XML format. Enabling download permission allows a user who has access to the JMP Live or JMP Public page to get the data in either way. The JMP format is useful only to users who have access to the JMP Live or JMP Public page who also have a separate license of JMP software or a third-party software that knows how to read JMP files, but a determined, malicious user could use a web browser to gain access to the data.

JMP Public

JMP Public is a website powered by JMP Live, where anyone can share JMP content with the public.

Register for JMP Public

Before you can publish posts to JMP Public, you must register and sign in using a SAS profile.

1. In a browser, go to https://public.jmp.com.

Add a Connection to a JMP Live Server

Before you can publish to JMP Live, you must add a connection to a JMP Live server.

Note: The first connection that you add becomes the default. The default connection is used for all interactive publishing and scripts that do not explicitly specify another connection. If you add more connections, you can change the default connection.

1. In JMP, select File > Publish > Manage Connections.

2. Click Add New.

3. Enter the JMP Live URL, formatted like this: https://jmpliveserver.com.

4. (Optional) Update the default name that identifies the connection.

5. (Optional) If you want to use JSL to create JMP Live reports, enter an API key. For details, see “Get an API Key” in the Scripting Guide.

6. Click Next.

7. Sign in to the JMP Live server with your user name and password.

8. Once the connection is created successfully, click Save.

The server name appears under Select a connection.

9. Click Exit.

Create and Publish JMP Reports

1. Create reports in JMP.

Tip: If your report contains a Local Data Filter, add columns before you publish, otherwise the Local Data Filter is static instead of active. To add columns, select them in the Local Data Filter and click the Add icon.

2. Select File > Publish > Publish Reports to JMP Live or Publish Reports to JMP Public.

(JMP Live only) If you have not added a JMP Live server connection, add one now. See Add a Connection to a JMP Live Server.

You might need to sign in to JMP Live or JMP Public.

Tip: Quickly publish a report to JMP Live using the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+U (Windows) or Command+Option+U (Apple macOS).

6. Choose whether to publish a new data table or use or update an existing JMP Live/Public data table. JMP populates this option based on what is currently in the space that you are publishing to.

If an exact copy of your local data table exists, the option is set to use that data table.

If you have made changes to a data table that exists, the option is set to update the existing table. Any other reports that use this data table also update to use the new data.

Notes:

In order to use existing data, you must have permission to download the data.

If a refresh or import script is set on the existing data in JMP Live, the only option is to use the existing table, since you cannot manually update these tables.
