Examples of Creating Maps
10. Click Finish.
The custom map files were created and named appropriately. The map files are S4-Name.jmp and
S4-XY.jmp and have been saved in the Samples Data folder.
The S4 Temps.jmp data table contains office data over a three-day period. Set up the Map Role column
property in the data table, as follows:
1. Open the S4 Temps.jmp sample data table.
2. Right-click on the Room/Office column and select Column Info.
3. Select Column Properties > Map Role.
4. Select Shape Name Use.
5. Next to Map name data table, enter the following path:
– On Windows: C:\Program Files\SAS\JMP\\Samples\Data\S4-Name.jmp
– On Mac: /Library/Application Support/JMP//Samples/Data/S4-Name.jmp
This tells JMP where the data tables containing the map information reside.
6. Next to the Shape definition column, type room.
Room is the specific column within the S4-Name.jmp data table that contains the unique names for
each office. Notice that the room column has the Shape Name Definition Map Role property assigned,
as part of correctly defining the map files.
Note: Remember, the Shape ID column in the -Name data table maps to the Shape ID column in the -XY
data table. This means that indicating where the -Name data table resides links it to the -XY data table, so
that JMP has everything that it needs to create the map.

Once the Map Role column property has been set up, you can perform your analysis. You want to visually
see the differences in office temperatures throughout the floor.
