Share Reports as Interactive HTML

Interactive HTML enables you to share JMP reports that contain dynamic graphs so that even non JMP users can explore the data. JMP reports are saved as an interactive web page that you can share with others (for example, on a shared network drive, by email, or on a website). Users then explore the data as they would in JMP.

Interactive HTML Contains Data

When you export or publish a report as interactive HTML, your data are embedded in the HTML. The content is unencrypted, because web browsers cannot read encrypted data. To avoid sharing sensitive data, export your results as a non-interactive web page instead by selecting File > Export > HTML.

Which Features Are Supported Interactively

Interactive HTML provides a subset of features from JMP:

If the features in your report are fully supported, the web page is created with no warnings.

If your report contains unsupported features, you see a message in the export or publish window that interactive HTML is partially implemented. For details, see the JMP log (View > Log).

Partially or unsupported features appear static in the web page. If you hover over an unsupported feature in the web page, a tooltip says that the feature is not yet interactive.

For information about exploring interactive HTML output, visit jmp.com/interactive.

Export a Single Report as Interactive HTML

To export a single JMP report as interactive HTML, use the Export as Interactive HTML with Data option to create a single web page.

1. In JMP, create the report and make it the active window.

Note: If a report contains a Local Data Filter, it is static in the web report and users cannot change the selections. To make the Local Data Filter interactive, deselect the Include mode. (In Graph Builder, to see the Include mode, select Show Modes from the Local Data Filter red triangle menu.)

2. Select File > Export, select Interactive HTML with Data and click Next.

3. (Optional) Rename the file.

4. Keep the Open the file after saving option selected.

5. Click Save.

The output is saved in the selected folder and opens in a browser.

Publish Multiple Reports as Interactive HTML

To publish multiple JMP reports as interactive HTML, use the Publish to File option, which creates an index page that contains the reports.

Tip: When you publish multiple JMP reports, you specify where to save the index page and report files. You can choose a shared network folder and provide the location to others, or choose a folder on your computer and zip the files before sharing. This is particularly helpful if you are sharing with non JMP users.

1. In JMP, create the reports.

Note: If a report contains a Local Data Filter, it is static in the web report and users cannot change the selections. To make the Local Data Filter interactive, deselect the Include mode. (In Graph Builder, to see the Include mode, select Show Modes from the Local Data Filter red triangle menu.)

2. From a report window, select File > Publish > Publish to File.

3. Select the reports that you want to publish.

4. (Optional) Change where the parent folder resides or change the name of the subfolder that will contain the reports.

5. Click Next.

6. Enter a title for the index page. You can also update the report titles.

7. (Optional) Change additional options. See Interactive HTML Report Options.

8. Click Publish.

9. In the Publish Results window, click a title.
