Share the Project

Sometimes you want to archive a project and share it with others. JMP zips the files in the project and saves the state of the project (the bookmarks, open panes, pane sizes, and so on).

When other users open the archived project on their computer, the links are resolved as follows:

1. If the file is in the same folder as the project or in a subfolder, the link contains a relative path, such as My Data/Corn Trials.jmp.

2. If the file is in a directory that JMP represents as a path variable (such as the desktop or documents directory), the links contain the path variable (for example, $DESKTOP/Corn Trials.jmp). See Path Variables in the Scripting Guide.

3. Otherwise, the link contains an absolute path, such as C:/2017Data/Corn Trials.jmp.

Caution: An absolute path does not work on other users’ computers unless their file system is set up like yours.

To Unarchive a Project

1. Use Windows Explorer or macOS Finder to create the folder in which you want to extract the files.

2. Open the archive in JMP.

3. Select the folder that you just created and click Extract.
