What inspired this wish list request? (The Problem)
Finding a specific tag in a project with many tags is a major bottleneck. Users have to manually hunt through complex folder trees to find what they need because there is no search function.
Use Case: Imagine you need to find a tag related to "Outlier Analysis." You have to waste time clicking through dozens of folders until you find it. This process is slow, frustrating, and discourages the use of tags for large-scale organization.
What is the improvement you would like to see? (The Solution)
Transform the tag system into a fast and intelligent tool with two key improvements:
-
A Powerful Search Bar: Instantly find any tag by searching its name or its description. No more manual hunting.
-
Tag Templates from Data Tables: Allow users to load a standardized list of tags directly from a JMP data table. A team could maintain a master tag list in a simple data table (with columns for Tag Name, Description, Group, etc.) and load it into any project. This makes creating and sharing tag sets incredibly simple and scriptable.
Why is this idea important? (The Impact)
This is a game-changing improvement that makes the entire tagging feature more valuable.
-
Saves Massive Amounts of Time: Instantly find what you need instead of searching manually.
-
Boosts Productivity: Turns tagging from a chore into a powerful workflow tool.
-
Enables Large Projects: Unlocks the full potential of tags for complex, real-world projects where they are needed most.
-
Ensures Perfect Consistency: Using data tables as templates makes teamwork seamless and allows for scriptable, version-controlled organization.
In short, this is an essential upgrade that makes JMP's tagging system truly powerful and user-friendly.
