Change Customization Sets

JMP gives you the flexibility to specify which users see your customized toolbars and buttons. Your changes are saved in a text file with the .jmpcust extension called a customization set. By default, your customizations are shown only to the current user; other users who log on to the computer and open JMP do not see your personal toolbars and menus.

All customization sets include the built-in JMP buttons and menus. You can also base customization sets on other customization sets. For example, you might create a new customization set that shows the JMP add-in menus and toolbars along with your modifications.

When you modify the Current user customization set, JMP creates a backup file of the set. The file is located in your Windows Users folder within the JMP or JMPPro folder.

C:/Users/<user name>/AppData/Roaming/SAS/JMP/15/

When you modify the All users customization set, JMP creates a backup file of the set. The file is located in the Windows All Users folder within the JMP or JMPPro folder.

C:/Users/All Users/SAS/JMP/15/

The All Users folder does not appear when you try to browse for it, so you must type the path into the Windows Explorer address field.

Note: To find the customization set files in Windows Explorer, show all hidden files in the Windows Explorer Folder Options. See your operating system documentation for details.

To change the customization set, follow these steps:

1. Select View > Customize > Menus and Toolbars.

The Menu Editor appears.

2. Click Change.

When you try to change the customization set, and changes to the selected set are not saved, you are prompted to save the changes. Click Save Changes.

3. Select the customization set in the Customization Set to Modify area. (By default, changes apply only to the Current user customization set.) Customization Set Options describes the options.

4. (Optional) To change the set on which the selected customization set is based, select the set in the Starting Set area. (Not available for the All users customization set.) Customization Set Options describes the options.

5. Click OK.

Customization Set Options

Customization Set to Modify

Current User

Only you see the changes. The customization file is called usercust.jmpcust. Modifying this file manually might cause unexpected results.

All users

All users who open JMP on the computer see the changes. The customization file is called admincust.jmpcust.

JMP Add-In

Those who use the selected JMP Add-in, and select JMP Add-In customizations as the Starting Set, see the changes. When you modify the customization set for a disabled add-in, those changes do not appear until you enable the add-in.

Other file

Changes appear when the selected .jmpcust file is chosen as the customization set. You create this file in a text editor.

New

Changes appear when this new customization is selected. (After you make your changes, click Save to name the new file in the selected folder.)

Starting Set

JMP built-in items

The selected customization set is based on the default JMP toolbars and menus. (Applies to all customization sets and cannot be deselected.)

All Users customizations

The selected customization set is based on the All users customization set. (Available for the Other file or New customization sets. Cannot be deselected from the Current user customization set.)

JMP Add-In customizations

The selected customization set is based on the JMP Add-In customizations. The add-in customizations are typically installed with the add-in. (Available for all customization sets except for All users.)

Current User customizations

The selected customization set is based on the Current user customization set. (Available only for Other file and New customization sets.)
