Before You Start
Before you begin using JMP, familiarize yourself with its initial windows: the Tip of the Day window
and the JMP Starter window.
The Tip of the Day Window
When JMP opens, you see the Tip of the Day window. This window provides tips about using JMP
that you might not know. Some tips are basic introductory information, and others give hidden power
features that you should learn after getting comfortable with the basics.

The Tip of the Day window has the following features:
• Show tips at startup When checked, displays the Tip of the Day window each time you start
JMP. This option is also accessible in File (JMP on the Macintosh) > Preferences > General >
Show Tip of the Day at Startup.
• Enter Beginner’s Tutorial Click to start the beginner’s tutorial. This tutorial introduces beginners
to JMP and how its commands and controls work. To access the other tutorials, select Help >
Tutorials.
• Previous Tip Returns to the previous tip in the Tip of the Day window.
• Next Tip Advances to the next tip in the Tip of the Day window.
The Tip of the Day folder is installed with JMP. It contains HTML files and images that are used for
producing the Tip of the Day window.
Note: Add your own tips by naming them tipXX.htm, where XX is the next unused number in a tip
filename.
To open the Tip of the Day window after closing it, select Help > Tip of the Day.
