JMP Journal setup

[#1]

Hello guys,

I have a empty journal with multiple outline boxes arranged in particular layout. I have some graph scripts saved in datatable and i want to place those in the placeholder outline boxes in the jounral . How do we do that?. Is it possible to design jounral layout and place graphs and scripts without jsl scripting ? i want to use vlist and h list box to make arrangement in jounal to place graph and executable scripts in jounal for reporting. (how to do it without jsl scripting)

When you open a new, empty journal, JMP provides a drag and drop tool box that allows you to drag display object and place them in the journal window. If you want to add a script button you just have to drag the script button icon from the tool box and place above, below or to the side of whatever object in the journal you want,  Once you do that, it opens the editor and there you can paste or type in the script you want run as well as inputting the text to be displayed in the journal.

Hi @txnelson ,

Yes i understand that but if i click ctrl +J to add a open graph to jounral how do modify the layout accordinglt or is there a way to drop the open graph/visual into the outline box created in jounral

I went to 

      File=>New=>Journal

and created an empty journal

Then using the Editing tool bar

I dragged and dropped Outline Box objects to create a simple layout

I then ran a Distribution Platform

Using the Tool Bar in the Output Display I selected the thick "+" selection tool, 

which allows one to select any of the objects in the display

or

Here I selected the Weight Outline Box, which will select everything under the Outline Box.  Items under an outline box that are not to be copied can be eliminated from the copying by simply clicking on the grey triangles and collapsing the box.  See above.

Now to move the display to the desired location in the journal, just drag and drop the selected display to the position in the journal

 It could be located under the Side by Side Box

Or it can be placed between Box One and the Side by Side Box

But for illustration, I chose to add it under the "A Box Embedded in an other Box

Using the selection tool in the Journal, one can select the objects and move them wherever wanted

I hope this answers your questions
