We want to hear your ideas for improving JMP software.

  1. Search: Please search for an existing idea first before submitting a new idea.
  2. Submit: Post your new idea using the Suggest an Idea button. Please submit one actionable idea per post rather than a single post with multiple ideas.
  3. Kudo & Comment Kudo ideas you like, and comment to add to an idea.
  4. Subscribe: Follow the status of ideas you like. Refer to status definitions to understand where an idea is in its lifecycle. (You are automatically subscribed to ideas you've submitted or commented on.)

We consider several factors when looking for what ideas to add to JMP. This includes what will have the greatest benefit to our customers based on scope, needs and current resources. Product ideas help us decide what features to work on next. Additionally, we often look to ideas for inspiration on how to add value to developments already in our pipeline or enhancements to new or existing features.

Enable Cell formatting for Data Table box

What inspired this wish list request?

To help audiences understand what analysis they are looking at, it is important to have the metric definitions easily accessible to the analysis. If we can treat the data definitions as data (in data tables), we can easily report the definitions along with the analysis. The audience's ability to understand the analysis increases. See my presentation at the JMP Discovery Summit (Americas)

 

What is the improvement you would like to see?

DTB=Data Table Box(Definition_Table));

//In the Data Table called Definition_Table, we can set the cell height and width within the table. Using the Data Table Box, these cells formatting are not carried over nor can be specified. (<<set height; set width; or set wrap is not enabled). It requires sophisticated jsl coding to have DTB outputted into a window or journal.

//Desired coded, where the cell height, width, and wrap are pulled from the data table
Ol1_Def=Outline Box("Definitions",
DTB=Data Table Box(Meta_def));

//Or
Ol1_Def=Outline Box("Definitions",
DTB=Data Table Box(Meta_def)
<<Set cell height(20),
<<Set Cell width(150 ),
<<Set Wrap (125));

 

Why is this idea important? This change makes it easy to report the meta data with the analysis vs for the analyst struggle coding this to make it work.
