Launch Windows
The launch window is your point of entry into a platform. Table 9.1 describes three panels that all launch windows have in common.
|
Select Columns
|
Lists all of the variables in your current data table. Note the following:
• Right-click on a column name to change the modeling type.
• Filter the columns using the options in the red triangle menu. See “Columns Filter Menu”.
|
|
Cast Selected Columns into Roles
|
Moves selected columns into roles (such as Y, X, and so on.) You cast a column into the role of a variable (like an actor is cast into a role). See “Cast Selected Columns into Roles Buttons”.
This panel does not exist in the Graph Builder platform.
|
|
Action
|
OK
performs the analysis.
|
|
Cancel
stops the analysis and quits the launch window.
|
|
|
Remove
deletes any selected variables from a role.
|
|
|
Recall
populates the launch window with the last analysis that you performed.
|
|
|
Help
takes you to the Help for the launch window.
|
Cast Selected Columns into Roles Buttons
Table 9.2 describes buttons that appear frequently throughout launch windows. Buttons that are specific to certain platforms are described in the chapter for the specific platform.
|
Y
|
Identifies a column as a response or dependent variable whose distribution is to be studied.
|
|
X
|
Identifies a column as an independent, classification, or explanatory variable that predicts the distribution of the Y variable.
|
|
Weight
|
Identifies the data table column whose variables assign weight (such as importance or influence) to the data.
|
|
Freq
|
Identifies the data table column whose values assign a frequency to each row. This option is useful when a frequency is assigned to each row in summarized data. If the value is 0 or a positive integer, then the value represents the frequencies or counts of observations for each row when there are multiple units recorded.
|
|
By
|
Identifies a column that creates a report consisting of separate analyses for each level of the variable.
|
Columns Filter Menu
A Column Filter menu appears in most of the launch windows. The Column Filter menu is a red triangle within the Select Columns panel. Use these options to sort columns, show or hide columns, or search columns.

Virtual Columns
Each launch window in JMP allows you to create one or more temporary virtual columns for use in performing analyses. These virtual columns are not part of the source data table and can only be used within the context of the current launch window. Virtual columns use formulas or calculations to define the column values. Closing the launch window or the generated report deletes any virtual columns.
Each column listed in the Select Columns pane of the launch window includes an icon representing the column’s modeling type (continuous, ordinal, or nominal) and the column name. Right-click on a column name to create a virtual column using either Transform, Combine, Aggregate, Date, Row, or Formula to calculate the column’s values.
Right-click options depend on the selected column’s data type and number of columns selected.
Figure 9.3 Example of Virtual Column Menu
Transform

• Apply a command to all similar reports in the report window. Hold down the CTRL key and click the red triangle menu. For example, in a One-way analysis, if you hold down the CTRL key, click the icon, and select Means/Anova/t Test, an analysis of variance is performed for all One-way analyses in the active report window.
The red triangle options applicable to each platform in the Analyze and Graph menus are described in the following books:
• Basic Analysis
• Essential Graphing
• Multivariate Methods
• Fitting Linear Models
• Specialized Models
• Quality and Process Methods
• Reliability and Survival Methods
Script Menus
The red triangle menu at the top level of every JMP report contains a Script menu. Most of these options are the same throughout JMP. A few platforms add extra options that are described in the specific platform chapters. Table 9.4 lists the Script menu options that are common to all platforms.
|
Redo Analysis
|
If the values in the data table that was used to produce the report have changed, this option duplicates the analysis based on the new data. The new analysis appears in a new report window.
|
|
Relaunch Analysis

|
|
Save Script to Report
|
Adds the script to the top of the report window.
|
|
Save Script for All Objects
|
If you have By groups or similar multiple reports, a script for each object is saved to the script window. Otherwise, this option is the same as Save Script to Script Window.
|
|
Save Script to Project
|
Saves the script in a project. If you have a project open that contains the report, the script is added to that project. If you do not have a project that contains the report, a new project is created and the script is added to it.
|
|
Data Table Window
|
Brings the corresponding data table used to create the report to the front.
|
|
Local Data Filter
|
If your data table contains row states and you do not want to affect them, use the Local Data Filter. The actions of this data filter are temporary and you can experiment with it.
Note: Platforms that do not support the Automatic Recalc option also do not support the Local Data Filter option.
|
|
Column Switcher
|
Lets you interactively exchange one column for another on a graph. See “Column Switcher”.
|
If you have specified a By variable in the platform launch window, the Script All By-Groups menu also appears. These options apply to the reports for all the levels of the By variable.

|
Automatic Recalc
The Automatic Recalc feature immediately reflects changes that you make to the data table in the corresponding report window. You can make any of the following data table changes:
• exclude or unexclude data table rows
• delete or add data table rows
This powerful feature immediately reflects these changes to the corresponding analyses, statistics, and graphs that are located in a report window.
To turn on Automatic Recalc for a report window, click on the platform red triangle menu and select Script > Automatic Recalc. To turn it off, deselect the same option. You can also turn on Automatic Recalc using JSL.
Note the following:
• By default, Automatic Recalc is turned off for platforms in the Analyze menu and turned on for platforms in the Graph menu. The exceptions are the Capability, Variability/Gauge Chart, and Control Chart > Run Chart platforms.
• For some platforms, the Automatic Recalc feature is not appropriate and therefore is not supported. These platforms include the following: DOE, Profilers, Choice, Partition, Nonlinear, Neural, Neural Net, Partial Least Squares, Fit Model (REML, GLM, Log Variance), Gaussian Process, Item Analysis, Cox Proportional Hazard, and Control Charts (except Run Chart).
Column Switcher
Within a report, use the Column Switcher to quickly analyze different variables without having to recreate your analysis. To activate the Column Switcher, from a report window, click on the red triangle menu. Select Script > Column Switcher.
If you have multiple columns, use the buttons to animate the column switching or step through each column manually. Move the slider control to change the speed of the animation.
Example of the Column Switcher
You have data about nutrition information for candy bars. You want to examine different factors, to see which factors best predict calorie levels.
1. Open the Candy Bars.jmp sample data table.
2. Select Graph > Graph Builder.
3. Click Total fat g and drag to the X zone.
4. Click Calories and drag to the Y zone.
5. Click Cholesterol g and drag to the Wrap zone.
6. From the red triangle next to Graph Builder, select Script > Column Switcher.
Choose the column that you want to switch from:
7. Select Cholesterol g and click OK.
Choose the columns that you want to switch to:
8. Select Saturated fat g, Cholesterol g, Sodium mg, Carbohydrate g, Dietary fiber g, and Sugars g and click OK.
Figure 9.6 Column Switcher in Graph Builder Window
9. Click the Play button to cycle between the different factors. Use the slider to control the speed of the animation. Alternatively, you can step through each factor individually.
You can see that the relationship between calories and fat is relatively strong for each level of carbohydrate. Therefore, Carbohydrate g appears to be the best predictor of calorie levels.
