In JMP, data points are organized into rows and columns referred to as the data table. A data table has two parts: the data table panels at left and the data grid at right.
Parts of a Data Table
Change the default size and font for names and values selecting File > Preferences > Fonts. (On the Macintosh, select JMP > Preferences > Fonts.)
Interacting with the Data Table Panels

Tip: You can also configure JMP to always use GZ compression when saving tables by selecting Preferences > General > Save Data Table Columns GZ Compressed.
Note: The Compress file when saved option only decreases the file size. This command does not affect the memory required to analyze the data. To reduce both the file size and memory required for analyzing, use Cols > Utilities > Compress Selected Columns. See Compress Selected Columns in Enter and Edit Data.
