URL as a variable

Question

I am working on using JMPPRO 14 projects to replace Microsoft SharePoint for storing statistical analyses. Each numbered analysis is a project. I would like to include a master table describing attributes of each project (department, product coade, process,...) with a variable that lists the URL for the location of the project file. Is it possible to have the URL function as a link to automatically open the project when clicked upon?

Chris,

This is another way to do it. I am playing around with differing options and will include this one to assess the functionality. We have already created workflow templates for the diferent types of analyses, which hold the promise of working very well. It is always gratifying to modify a script and have it work as desired.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Hi @statpharmer,

You could create a JMP Table that has a variable with URL links. Then include that file in the project. Archive Project option in Files will copy all files reference in the Window list and also include bookmarked folders. So be carefule if you use that option.

Using Bookmark section as the link to files would effectively be a URL of sorts (a file path or a folder path if adding a folder to the Bookmark section).

Would that help?

I found a solution with further searching  JMP discussion entries. The following entry includes a script that I modified to work for my purposes:
