JMP Home Window
Tip: If you prefer to see the JMP Starter or the Window List upon start-up, you can specify that in
Preferences. Select File > Preferences > General and select an option from the Initial JMP Window list.
JMP Home Window Buttons
The JMP Home Window panels can contain the following buttons:
The Open Selected button opens recent files.
The Sort By Name button sorts recent files alphabetically.
The Filter button filters the types of files that appear in the Recent Files and Window List panels.
The Clear Filter button clears any filters that are set in the Recent Files and Window List panels,
showing all types of files and windows. If this button is dimmed, no filters are selected.
The New Project button creates a new project.
The Open Project button opens a project file.
The Save Selected Project button saves the selected project.
The Close button closes the panel.
Recent Files
The Recent Files list provides quick access to files that you recently opened. The last 20 files also appear in
the File > Recent Files menu.
Use the right-click menu to:
• Open a file
• Copy the location path to a file
• Open a file within the folder that contains it
• Sort files alphabetically by name or by most recent
• Remove a file (alternatively, you can select files and press the DELETE key)
• (JSL scripts only) Edit, run, or debug a script
• (Text files only) Change the import method or open as plain text
When you open a non JMP file in the Recent Files list, JMP applies your import preferences to arrange
the data. You can right-click on a text file to change the import method or to open the file in a text
editing window. Your import preference is bolded in the right-click menu.
Window List
The Window List shows open JMP windows, such as data tables, reports, and scripts. You can open, close,
rearrange, and hide JMP windows.
• If you hover over a file in the Window List, a thumbnail appears.
