The Preferences option on the File menu (on the JMP menu on Apple macOS) displays the Preferences window. See Figure 15.1. This chapter describes each category.
On Windows, changes that you make to preferences are stored in a version-specific JMP.PFS file that is located in one of the following folders:
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\JMP\JMP\19\
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\JMP\JMPPro\19\
On Apple macOS, the preferences are stored in com.sas.jmp.plist, which is located in ~/Library/Preferences/.
JMP looks for this file when you open the program and considers your changes to be the factory defaults. All subsequent changes are stored in this file.
To change preferences
1. Select File > Preferences (Windows) or JMP > Preferences (Apple macOS).
The window in Figure 15.1 appears. The previous preferences page that you selected appears.
2. Click a category and make selections.
3. Click Apply to see the results and then click OK.
Notes:
• When you upgrade a subscription product, changes to preferences are maintained. In other JMP versions, you must customize the preferences after each upgrade.
• Your JMP preferences are remembered if you change the JMP display language.
To search preferences
1. Select File > Preferences (Windows) or JMP > Preferences (Apple macOS).
