Interactive HTML lets you share JMP reports that contain dynamic graphs so that even people who do not use JMP 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.
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. Therefore, to avoid sharing sensitive data, export your results as a non-interactive web page by selecting File > Export and choosing HTML.
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 click a static feature, a message indicates that the feature is not interactive.
For information about exploring interactive HTML output, visit www.jmp.com/interactive.
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.)
2. Select File > Export, select Interactive HTML with Data, and click Next.
3. Navigate to where you want to save the file.
4. (Optional) Rename the file.
5. Keep the Open the file after saving option selected.
6. Click Save.
The output is saved in the selected folder and opens in a browser.

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 people who do not use JMP.
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.)
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.
