Add and Edit Outline Levels
You can group text and links in an outline level and then click the gray disclosure icon to expand and
collapse the group.
Note: Links to files have absolute paths. If you move the journal to another location on your computer, the
links continue to work. When adding links to files in the JMP Sample Data folder, use the pathname
$SAMPLE_DATA/xx. xx is the absolute path from the Sample Data directory. (Right-click the link, select
Edit > Set Script, and then edit the path.)
• To add an outline level, right-click in the journal, and then select Append Item > Add Outline Item.
You can also add nested outline levels to outline levels that you have created. (When you click the red
triangle menu of a graph that you have journaled, the Add Outline Item option is unavailable.) Click
the outline level’s red triangle menu and select Add Outline Item.
• To edit the outline level heading, double-click the heading, enter the new name, and press Enter.
• To add text or links within an outline level, click the outline level’s red triangle menu and select an
option described in Table 10.5. Note that these options are not available when you click a scripted item’s
red triangle menu.
• To add text or links outside an outline level, right-click on the journal and then select one of the options
described in Table 10.5.
• To edit a link, right-click the link, select Edit > Set Script, edit the path, and then click OK.
• To edit the name of the link displayed in the journal, right-click the link, select Set Button Name, enter
the new name, and then click OK.
Tip: In Windows, show the preceding options by holding down the ALT key and right-clicking the outline
level’s gray disclosure icon.
