Introduction to Writing JSL Scripts

Welcome to the JMP Scripting Language

The JMP Scripting Language, or JSL, lets you write scripts to re-create results in JMP. Power users often develop scripts to extend JMP’s functionality and automate a scheduled analysis in production settings. If you do not want to learn JSL, JMP can write the scripts for you.

JSL is used to perform many actions:

Implement column formulas

Launch platforms

Interactively modify platforms

Create graphics
