JMP Wish List

In a large table with hundreds of columns, I need to have more flexibility in grouping columns. I'd like to be able to have column subgroups (group hierarchies).   (Would also be nice to have table script group hierarchies.) ... View more

It'd be great if there was a simple checkbox option to prevent a script from being accidentally deleted from a data table. I've had Operators unintentionally delete scripts in the past, and this option would have saved a little time/heartache. ... View more

The Summary function is not flexible enough for users to be able to calculate various statistics (for e.g. Mode) using the group-by method, making it a pain in the neck to use. Other software packages like R and Python can easily allow the function to be performed on group-by data. ... View more

I want tableboxes that use ColSpanBox to name the columns better when interacting with `<<make into data table`.  Currently it just takes the lowest column name.     dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA\Big Class.jmp"); new window("Row Borders", tblbox = tablebox( ColSpanBox("1", NumberColBox("age", dt:age << Get Values), StringColbox("Sex", dt:sex << Get Values), ), NumberColBox("Height", dt:height << Get Values) ) ); tblbox << Make into data table(); The behavior that tabulate does would be fine by me.        (dt << Tabulate( Add Table( Column Table( Grouping Columns( :sex, :age ) ) ) )) << Make Into Data Table           ...

I'd like it if I could set individual cell colors.  Currently I have to make a table then color the cells then << Get as report or Journal.   ... View more

One idea: bring up the scripting index when a function the cursor is in a function name (or a function name is highlighted) in the script editor and the user presses a keyboard shortcut or function key.   In RStudio pressing F1 or F2 opens the function definition or brings up a vignette with a list of arguments for that function.  JMP needs this! ...

When you are writing a script embedded in a data table, there are several issues compared to a stand alone script file.   There is no Embedded log. If I want t o see what is in the log, I have to go through the debugger. But I don't like this option as the debugger has a strong tendency to crash JMP. Can we please have an embedded log in the datatable-dependent script windows ?   Upon execution, the data table is not saved automatically. This means that when I run a script and JMP crashes (I don't know if it is just me but that happens A LOT), my work is lost if I didn't save the data table. Can we have an autosave option ?                 ... View more

I would really love it if we could subscript a list with a matrix and have it shape the list into a list of lists.       l = {"A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F"}; ss = [1 2, 3 4, 5 6]; l[ss]; // I want this to come out as {{"A", "B"}, {"C", "D"}, {"E", "F"}};         ... View more

I would like a JSL command that allows me to change the Display Language in JMP - not only the check box below the language, but the language itself. Being able to check what Display Language is currently used, would also be very helpful.   When using Display Language English on a German OS, I can use the checkbox below to tell JMP if decimal points (tick) or decimal commas (no tick) are expected. When using Display Language German on a German OS, the tick makes no difference in that respect. As our users have both language options it's important to know what language they're using in JMP before a common script is run on their system. Currently I can only think of a poor workaround to check the language and give a warning if they're using the wrong language for the script they want to use. ... View more

It will be convenient if there is a function that accepts a value and a name of a color gradient and returns a color code. ... View more

Contrast in Generalized Linear Model doesnt save as script and not accessible in script - so if you set up contrasts, the redo only adds the contrasts button and you have to re-enter all the contrasts.    It would also be good to be able to specify the reference category. In general the parameterisation should be more controllable or at least obvious.  A lot of users seem unaware that standard least squares and nominal logistic personalities use centered X's (ie mean reference category) whereas Generalized Regression and Generalized Linear Model use the reduced rank approach - ie zero'ing one of the levels like SAS does.  It would be good to have control over that, ie specify which level gets zero'ed or if mean subtraction should be used.  IT would be good to have the same approach and features available in all the regression procedures as far as possible and make everything JSl accessible. ...

Advanced users obtain results of platforms (e.g., Fit Model) by scripts. But for this, JMP forces the user to "scrape" the report, which is painful. It will be very helpful if the analysis results are, like in R, returned in a structured way, e.g., as an Associative Array. ... View more

Hi, Could you please implement Tukey's (Running Median) Smoothing approach in JMP. You already have a number of other EDA type tools and this one seems to be missing from JMP.   Many thanks. Russ ... View more

Folks,   Currently, the Edit | Reformat Script command does a really nice job of reformatting JSL script so that all indentations are properly aligned.  However, this command is wrapping any text in a row that exceeds something in the order of 130 characters, regardless of the Wrap Text setting in Preferences.  I often organize/format my JSL in ways to aid in readability and organization which results in rather long rows (I have multiple large monitors which facilitiates the proper display of these long rows of characters).  Unfortunately, any time I run Edit | Reformat Script my long rows of JSL commands are wrapped in ways that makes it difficult to read and see my code structure.  I would appreciate it if the underlying value in Edit | Reformat Script that limits how many characters can be on a row is increased dramatically, or even eliminated.  If the character limitation was eliminated, the Wrap Text property in Preferences could handle text that extends beyond the size of a given window, regardless of monitor size.  Thanks for listening! ...

As we are all aware, a good deal of the time we spend on analyzing datasets is in preparing them for the analysis (ie- cleaning, organizing, formating, etc.).  Frequently I work with datasets that are updated with new data periodically and I would like to have the ability to script all the dataset preparations steps so they can be executed with the new data.  JMP has the ability to script analyses and graphing but not the dataset preparation steps.  I hope that other members of this community would find this fuctionality valuable.  If you would like to see this implemented please add your kudo to the rest of us.  Many thanks, Floyd Fox ...

When using JSL, update the Make Validation Column function to accept column names for Stratified Random, Grouped Random, and Cutpoint options. I know you can use formula random and add a by(:Group) but there should be a direct way to do this. Example: current data table() << Make Validation Column( Training Set( 0.50 ), Validation Set( 0.25 ), Test Set( 0.25 ), Stratified Random ("My_Column_Name") ); ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  Currently, the Filter View in JMP is rigid and not customizable. All filters are displayed vertically, which quickly becomes cluttered and inefficient when working with large datasets. There is no way to rearrange, resize, or group filters in a way that matches the user’s workflow. Additionally, users cannot add custom buttons or actions to streamline repetitive tasks. For example, when analyzing survey data with dozens of categorical variables, the vertical-only layout forces constant scrolling and makes it difficult to focus on the most relevant filters. This slows down exploration and reduces usability   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Allow customization of the Filter View layout (e.g., horizontal arrangement, collapsible sections, drag-and-drop ordering). Enable adding custom buttons or actions directly in the Filter View or Data Filter, so users can trigger scripts, apply presets, or perform common tasks without leaving the interface. Provide options for styling and resizing filters, so the interface adapts to different screen sizes and user preferences. Ideally, the Filter View should behave like the Data Filter but embedded inside the data table, with the added flexibility of customization       Why is this idea important?  Ease of use: A customizable Filter View would reduce clutter and make data exploration more intuitive. Efficiency: Custom buttons would save time by automating repetitive actions directly within the filter interface. Flexibility: Different users have different workflows; customization ensures the tool adapts to them rather than forcing a rigid layout. Value: The Filter View is already a powerful feature since it mirrors the Data Filter inside the table. Making it customizable would unlock its full potential and make JMP more competitive with modern analytics tools. In short: the current UI feels outdated and restrictive, but with customization and the ability to add custom actions, the Filter View could become a must-have feature for everyday JMP users.   We have around 150 licenses who use JMP and JSL for scripting in our organization.       ...

What inspired this wish list request?  The JMP seminar on Nov 19 showed the JMP marketplace with different connectors. What is the improvement you would like to see?  One of the connectors that I noticed was one to connect to Salesforce and that made me wonder if something similar could be added to pull QA testing results from an MRP, such as ODOO which is what my company uses. Why is this idea important?  I haven't looked into how accessible that data is via an API or database, but it could make it very easy to pull in production data and run control charts or perform root cause analysis. Currently, we're working on scaling up our production and just starting to get to a point where process control is very important. As a startup, one of the things we're thinking about a lot is what that workflow will look like and what tools will be part of that workflow. I think that a connection between two of the tools that we've already chosen would be very useful. ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  I would encourage JMP to recognize time zones and daylight changes with formulas … It seems like a very practical need.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  It should make it easier for analysts with global role ... again it seems like a very practical need throughout many organizations.   Why is this idea important?  Efficient and effective use of time ...   ...
