How can we automatically run a script when opening a table?

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if there is a way to automatically run a script each time a table is open.

Thanks in advance for your help!

~~I am not aware of such a feature. However~~, one can create a JMP Report(.jrp) or a script(.jsl) or an addin(.jmpaddin) that when opened, would open the data table and run a script. What are the specifics of what you are wanting to do?

You can create a table script called "On Open" which will be run when the data table is opened.

See "Prompting to Run a Script upon Opening a Data Table" in the Scripting Guide

This works on JMP 14.

Attached are 2 files:

Subscribe.jsl
Chemical Kinetics.jmp, which is a modification of the JMP sample data table with an attached script called startup.

Run the script Subscribe.jsl then close it. Until you unsubscribe any table you open with a script named Startup will automatically run. If you download and run the attached Chemical Kinetics.jmp table, a bivariate script named startup will automatically run.
