Notes
When you double-click a file in a project, most files open in their default programs. For example, data
tables, journals, and scripts open in JMP. Graphics open in your default graphics program. Files that can be
imported into JMP (such as Excel files or SAS data sets) are opened based on your text import preferences.
You can also choose how to open a file by right-clicking it and selecting an option. The options differ based
on the file type. For example, files that are imported as data have text import options, or you can open them
outside of JMP.
Adding a group to a project lets you organize files into collapsible and expandable containers. To add a new
group, right-click on the project and select New Group. You can add files by right-clicking on the new
group, or you can drag and drop existing files into the group.
JMP enables you to add descriptive notes about a project. Select the Edit Notes command from the Project
menu to add or edit a project’s notes. The notes are shown in the project properties. Right-click the project
name and select Properties to view the notes.
Fix Broken Links
When you save a project, JMP warns you if the link to a file is broken.
To fix a broken link:
1. Click No on the broken link warning window.
2. In the Projects window, right-click the affected file, and select Fix Broken Link.
3. Browse to find the file.
4. Click OK.
Save a Log Window
Selecting View > Log displays a window that monitors JMP activities, such as JSL statements as they
execute and script errors. You might also encounter instances where running a formula, matrix, or another
operation writes information of interest to the log window.
To save a log:
1. Open the Log window.
2. Select File > Save As.
Note: (Windows only) To open the log automatically when text is added to it, select File > Preferences >
Windows Specific. In the Open the JMP Log window list, select whenever text is added.
