Do you need to share reports with different work groups, suppliers or partners? Are you part of a manufacturing operation that generates and needs to share batch reports related to yield, failure, variability, and other pertinent metrics.? Can your organization benefit from a unified and standardized repository for analytic outcomes that ensure transparency and consistency throughout the organization and globally. Do you want to reduce confusing redundant reports that impair productivity? Do you want to update reports for current data within a secure environment? Do your policies and procedures require you to track access to data and reports?
JMP Live is a web-based platform that is licensed separately to sites who use JMP or JMP Pro.
In this Mastering JMP session, we explore how JMP Live provides JMP administrators and users a collaborative, secure environment housed on your network. Using a collection of JMP reports, we will:
- Review, bookmark and document comments on reports and data on JMP Live to which you have access.
- Publish reports on JMP Live, with a new data table or linking it to an existing data table on JMP Live.
- Download a report to JMP and update or publish a new report back to JMP Live.
- Update reports with your new data.
- Assign permissions to the folder and notify people of their access ability.
- Download reports to create JMP Project file for local computer.
- Automatically schedule and update reports with new source data.
- Track and document access to JMP Live reports, folders and spaces.
Explore our JMP Live site and/or create and account to try posting to JMP Public, an open JMP Live site.

Questions answered at the live webinar by @Alex_Lippincott , @Aurora_TiffanyD , @yasmine_hajar and @Eric_Hill :
Q: Do end users need JMP desktop in order to view JMP Live reports?
A:No. All you need is a web browser to access JMP Live.
Q: Do I have a certain number of refreshes like in Power BI? Power BI Pro allows 8 refreshes in a day.
A: You can refresh data as often as once every 5 minutes. Reports refresh automatically, whenever the data they rely on updates.
Q: Who sets the permissions?
A: You will have at least one JMP Live admin at your organization. They can set up these permissions or they can delegate that to someone else in the organization. Each collaboration space has a “Permissions” tab visible to those who have that ability. On that tab, you can decide which users (or groups of users) can “View”, “Download”, “Contribute”, etc. Each folder also has a tab like that. But you don’t have to fuss with every folder. A folder will inherit permissions from the space unless you tell it otherwise.
Q: Can you reiterate what the "Remove Custom Permissions" button does? Does it wipe all custom permissions for all users e.g. for that specific folder? Is there a way to save those custom permissions before removing them?
A: If you remove custom permissions, it reverts the folder back to the permissions it is inheriting from the parent folder or space. You can always just remove specific users from the custom permission rather than removing them all. We do not currently have a way to save the custom permissions.
Q: Can you create alerts to notify of new content?
A: Subscribe would be a good solution for this.
Q: Can commenting persist? Used case : So, if a signal occurs on a control chart and process engineering addresses it, can they "annotate" the signal for example an alarm list so the reference to that signal assessment now stays with the chart?
A: Comments do persist with the report. There is a lot more coming in JMP Live 19 with respect to annotating control chart warnings.
Q: Can we manage the reports to make them less overwhelming?
A: You can link to JMP Live areas from your internal work areas (like Confluence or SharePoint) where your users go for information. You can also use JMP to build dashboards and display reports that way. Anything you can do in JMP can be published to JMP Live. Also, remember that based on permissions, your teams will see only the reports to which they have access.
Q: When I publish something, is it automatically accessible to anyone who has permission?
A: Yes, it will show up in JMP Live and there's nothing special you need to do. A user’s view is based on their permissions. So, if they have permission to use a particular folder, for example, anything uploaded to that folder will be immediately available to those who have permission and show on the top of their JMP Live ‘home’ page. You can also use the comments feature and @mention to anyone who has access to JMP Live, then they will get an email. Or, you can use the Share Button and email a link explicitly.
Q: Is there a way to alert someone, like a selected subscribe to an area?
A: Not at this point. We can consider that for the future. Using the Newest First display option can also be useful for seeing the latest additions.
Q: Are there other ways to control my view?
A: Yes, one way is to see Newest First.
