Abstract
Process
Local Data Filters are commonly used to analyze and visualize subsets of data in JMP. The Selection Filter feature of JMP 12 enables you to use any existing JMP platform as the interface to the filter. Rows selected in one platform are included in the linked analyses, and unselected rows are excluded.
Multiple platforms can be configured to allow additive selection, or they can be arranged for hierarchical filtering, with one Selection Filter cascading into another to narrow the selection.
Create multiple reports using any JMP platform. It can be helpful to customize your filter report by changing Outline Titles and hiding unwanted details.
Select the reports and “Combine Windows”
Select “Edit Application” from the Report red-triangle menu
Select the report to act as the filter and choose “Use As Selection Filter”
Run the application or Save to Data Table from the red-triangle menu

Hierarchical Selection
Process
Two reports in a single Data Filter Source Box share a linked selection state. You can click in either graph and the selection will be reflected in the other.
To create a hierarchical selection behavior, Data Filter Source Boxes can be nested to specify the hierarchy.
Start by creating the Data Filter Source Box and Data Filter Context Box, as you would for shared selection.
Select the secondary filter report and insert another Data Filter Source Box using the toolbar
