Numeric Formats
JMP has the ability to store numeric data in as few as 8 bits (one byte). This option makes short-integer
formats available to you when you select Cols > Column Info and assign a column a data type. When
you use the correct short-integer format for your data, you will not see any difference in how the
numbers display, but they will occupy less disk space. See “Using Short-Integer Format,” p. 61, for
details.
1 Select File > Preferences (Windows/Linux) or JMP > Preferences (Macintosh).
2 Click the Tables category.
3 Check Allow short numeric data format.
Data Table Print Format
To print the JMP data table as it appears on the screen instead of resizing column widths to
accommodate the content width:
1 Select File > Preferences (Windows/Linux) or JMP > Preferences (Macintosh).
2 Click the Tables category.
3 Check Print Data Grid as is.

below describe ways you can customize reports.

might be additional options you want to see each time you run a particular analysis. For example, a
bivariate analysis shows points by default, but you might also always want to see a linear fit each time.
By selecting the Platforms option in the left panel of the Preferences window, you can set the default
options for analyses. (Analyses are run by evoking platforms, such as the Bivariate platform. Thus, the
name of this category is Platforms.)
