We want to hear your ideas for improving JMP software.

  1. Search: Please search for an existing idea first before submitting a new idea.

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.

☐ cool new feature
☑ could help many users!

☐ removes a „bug“

☐ nice to have

☐ nobody needs it

 

 

Columns with formulas are indicated by a "+" sign.

Left clicking on the "+" opens the formula editor window - that's very convenient.

 

Right clicking on the "+" doesn't have an effect yet.

My suggestion:

At the moment it takes several mouse clicks to disable the evaluation of formulas.

Could you please add the possibility to switch the evaluation of a formula off and on by a right click context menu of the "+" sign?

This is a nice suggestion. We are not currently planning on making this change, but will consider in a future release.

This wish could help users who suffer from unexpected re-evaluations of formula columns, like it is described by @Chris_Rodrigues in this post:
Why does selecting/deselecting rows trigger column formulas to be re-evaluated?
