JMP Projects (Windows Only)
At times, you might want to continue to modify the original files rather than the archived copies. Here are
some examples:
• When you add a file to multiple projects, you are actually modifying three different copies of that file. If
sales figures in one of the files need to be updated, you must update three different copies of that file.
• When you add files to a project from a network drive, you and other JMP users can edit those files
without having to open the JMP project file.
In these instances, turn off archiving by right-clicking the project in the Projects window and deselecting
Archive all files and folders when project is saved.
When you save a project, JMP notifies you when files in the project archive are not found. See “Fix Broken
Links” on page 339 for details about fixing the links.
Close a JMP Project
To close a project, right-click the project name and select Close.
Open a JMP Project
On Windows, open a project by selecting File > Open and selecting JMP Projects from the list next to File
name (or the Files of type list on Windows XP). The file also shows up in the JMP Home Window Recent
Files list if you previously opened it with the File > Open command or the Open toolbar button.
On Macintosh, open a project by selecting File > Open and selecting the file. Though there is no project
window on Macintosh, the files that are set to open or run automatically appear.
Add Items to a JMP Project
Project Menu
You can add either saved or open files to a JMP project. If a file has not already been saved, you are

desired command.
New Group
Adds a collapsible and expandable container that organizes related items.

contents of the window has not been saved, you are prompted to do so before the window is added to
the project.
Add Document Adds a copy of a file (if the archiving option is turned on) or a link to the file (when the
archiving option is turned off). After selecting this option, the standard File Open window appears.
