Start JMP in two ways: • • Double-click on the JMP icon, normally found on your desktop. This starts JMP, but does not open any existing JMP files. • • Double-click an existing JMP file. This starts JMP and opens the file. • The initial view of JMP includes the Tip of the Day window and the JMP Starter window. The JMP Starter window classifies actions and platforms using categories.

Another useful window is “home window” • To open the Home window, select View > Home Window. This window includes links to the following: • • the data tables and report windows that are currently open • • files that you have opened recently

About the Menu Bar and Toolbars • The menus and toolbars are hidden in many windows. To see them, hover your mouse cursor over the blue bar under the window’s title bar. The menus in the JMP Starter window, the Home window, and all data tables are always visible.

Understanding Data Tables • A data table is a collection of data organized in rows and columns. It is similar to a Microsoft® Excel®spreadsheet, & SPSS files but with some important differences
