Save a JMP Project
After you create and name a project, save it using one of the following methods:
• Right-click the project name in the Projects window and select Save “project name”.
• Select the project name and click the Save Selected Project button on the Projects window toolbar.
• In another open JMP window (such as the JMP Home Window), select File > Save Projects.
When you save a project, JMP creates a compressed file with the .jmpprj extension and saves a copy of each
item in the project. You actually modify the archived items rather than the originals. Other JMP users on
Windows and Mac can then open the project on their computers, and the links remain intact.
JMP maintains the links by creating a folder structure that mirrors the location of the original files. Say that
you save a project in the following folder:
C:\MyProjects
The project has a link to the MyDataTables folder.
When you open this project, JMP creates the following file structure in the project’s subdirectory:
C:\MyProjects\Project Name Dependencies\C\MyDataTables
