Editing Data and Tables
Changing Table Names
A data table’s name is found at the top of its window, in the table panel, and on all analysis reports. It is
the name by which it has or will be saved.
To change a table’s name:
1 Click the table name in the table panel. It is highlighted, as shown in Figure 3.39.

On Windows, you can also change a data table’s name by selecting Window > Set Title.
Locking Tables
There are two ways you can lock a JMP data table:
• You can lock a table so its values cannot be edited. However, you can run analyses, assign
characteristics, and so on. To do this, select Lock Data Table from the table panel menu
(Figure 3.41).

• You can lock a table so it can be edited but not saved. To do this, change the file’s properties
according to your computer’s operating system. For example, change the file to be “Read-Only.”
