Within a JMP window, click the Help button.
Search and view JMP Help on Windows using the Help > Help Contents, Search Help, and Help Index options. On Mac, select Help > JMP Help.
Search the Help at http://jmp.com/support/help/ (English only).
Additional Resources for Learning JMP
In addition to JMP documentation and JMP Help, you can also learn about JMP using the following resources:
Tutorials (see “Tutorials”)
Sample data (see “Sample Data Tables”)
Tip of the Day (see “Learn JMP Tips and Tricks”)
Web resources (see “JMP User Community”)
JMPer Cable technical publication (see “JMPer Cable”)

Tutorials
You can access JMP tutorials by selecting Help > Tutorials. The first item on the Tutorials menu is Tutorials Directory. This opens a new window with all the tutorials grouped by category.
If you are not familiar with JMP, then start with the Beginners Tutorial. It steps you through the JMP interface and explains the basics of using JMP.
The rest of the tutorials help you with specific aspects of JMP, such as designing an experiment and comparing a sample mean to a constant.
Sample Data Tables
All of the examples in the JMP documentation suite use sample data. Select Help > Sample Data Library to open the sample data directory.
To view an alphabetized list of sample data tables or view sample data within categories, select Help > Sample Data.
Sample data tables are installed in the following directory:
On Windows: C:Program FilesSASJMP13SamplesData
On Macintosh: LibraryApplication SupportJMP13SamplesData
In JMP Pro, sample data is installed in the JMPPRO (rather than JMP) directory. In JMP Shrinkwrap, sample data is installed in the JMPSW directory.
To view examples using sample data, select Help > Sample Data and navigate to the Teaching Resources section. To learn more about the teaching resources, visit http://jmp.com/tools.
Learn about Statistical and JSL Terms
