Scripters Club Recording: Elaborate on Elaborate - Interactive Reporting & AI Playgrounds in Development

[#1]

In this Session, we dive into the power of interactive reporting in JMP—showcasing how to build sophisticated, user-friendly reports that go beyond the basics. You'll also get a behind-the-scenes look at how Predictum is integrating AI into their development workflows, including practical use cases of their free  add-in for JMP and how tools like GitHub Copilot are accelerating custom analytics solutions.

• Here's a page with some details about how we operate, including out CI/CD Pipeline for JSL: https://predictum.com/resources/development-practices/
• CoBaseKRM is our knowledge retention/management application that manages and version controls data, models, and attaches them to narratives, conversations. You can find out more at www.cobasekrm.com

Heidi Hardner: 

I was very surprised when I learned the built-in button could not be simply told to be "a big red button", that might not be obvious until you try to do it.

 Holger Specht

Not via simple messages sent to the objects. I didn't know that it's so easy to define how an object reacts on  "messages"  (sent via <<)

Sage Darling: 

Copilot also has a feature where you can update the model type! at the bottom of the copilot chat window near where you write the prompt, where it says "GPT-4.1", there's other options such as Claude and Gemini. I've found some models better than others for different tasks.

The linked example uses MouseBox + TextBox to get buttons with colors.
Seems that JMP Class is not used but suggested in the post.

Interesting post:
Returning an expression from a function differs when namespace is used. 

The issue seems to affect as well JMP Classes.

funcNS = Define Class(
	"myClass",	
	f1 = Function( {}, 
		expr(1+2)
	)
);

myClass:f2 = Function( {}, 
	expr(1+2)
);
	
Show( Type( myClass:f1() ), Type( myClass:f2() ) );


cl = New Object( myClass( ) );

show(cl << f1);
show(cl << f2);
