Customize the Main Menu Bar

Add your own menu items to the main menu bar in JMP. These menus appear before or after menus such as File, Edit, and Tables. An untitled command is inserted automatically in the menu, because all menus must have at least one command.

When you want to create a main menu based on an existing menu, make a copy of the existing menu and then change settings as necessary. See Copy and Paste Menus, Menu Items, Toolbars, and Buttons.

To create a main menu

1. Select View > Customize > Menus and Toolbars.

The Main Menu list appears on the left.

2. (Optional) Change the customization set to control which users see your customizations. See Customization Set Options.

3. Right-click the menu next to which you want to add a new menu.

4. Select Insert Before or Insert After.

An untitled menu and a menu item are added to the list.

5. Complete Step 2: Specify the Caption and Internal Name to rename the main menu.

6. Customize the menu item as described in Create Menu Items and Toolbar Buttons.

7. Click Save to save your changes.
