JMP Wish List

Hello,   When we run the Fit Model platform with both random and fixed effect we have the possibility thanks to the Save Columns menu, to save residuals, predicted values... but also the conditional residuals and conditional predicted values (which take into account fixed and random effects). It would be great if we could also save the conditional version of the other columns such as the Studentized Residuals or the StdErr Pred Formula. ... View more

*** I'm using JMP 14.1 . These might already be in JMP 15, I don't know as I won't get a newer version for a while now. **       Now that I am comfortable with Scripting, I am trying to use the app builder and it feels like I am back to square one, I don't understand anything about how the app builder works.   ==> A proper tutorial would be most useful. Something that goes beyond the few basic steps shown in the Scripting Guide.   This could be a more general wish too ==> Make tutorials for many more platforms !   Some improvements:     - Drag and drop functionalities available with menus and clicks : For example currently the only way I can see to organise objects is to drag and drop. But when reports are quite big, or when you want to precisely place and object into a display box, it can get quite messy and difficult. I would like to be able to do this in the properties menu. E.g. copy the report I want to use, then in the properties, right click on the display box i want to insert it into then "paste".     - Drag and Drop in properties pane : If I have put a report in the wrong level of a display tree, it would be hugely beneficial to have the ability to fix it by dragging and droping in the properties pane. E.g. in the properties pane, grab my object or box and drop it on the right level of the display tree. Like the way you drag and drop objects in a journal window.     - Be able to use CTRL+Z more than once !!! I don't know if it is just on my system but I can only  cancel one action. Quite often you need to do this a few times in a row. Currently I have to quit then reopen my app... Not so practical...   -Display all outlines of display tree : Similar to the button in a word documents that make all spaces and tabs appear on screen. I would like to have a frame displayed over all my different boxes and other objects in my module window. Like this I could see precisely what fits where, which object belongs in what display box. Because currently, the way things are displayed makes it too fiddly to be practical.     ... View more

I really love the Venn diagram add-in, and I know you can "copy to journal," but would it be possible to enable "copy to script" for them? I know it's not a big deal to start from scratch for simple Venn diagrams, but sometimes I have to create more complex ones, in which case just simply clicking on the script saved in the file would greatly speed things up (otherwise, I need to remember how to set it up properly in the table!).  ...

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

Currentaly (in JMP 14.3), on reports of platforms like Fit Model, all the levels (unique values) of a Column is shown in the Parameter Estimates (and also in Indicator Parameterization Estimates) table, but the reference value does NOT appear on this report, which is confusing. Give an option to show the reference value in those tables. ... View more

The dashboard application is a convenient way of representing a group of charts especially during presentation and telecons. However, there is a limitation in making the graphs as tabs after 5 vertical levels. Hoping that the dashboard bugs ca be solved where users can stack graphs in tab boxes and add more vertical lists ... View more

The Find and Replace dialog that comes up using CTRL+F should have the option to set and save your default preferences.   I often work with very large data tables, and I always search for character strings within specific columns. This is easiest using CTRL+F but the default for Restrict to Selected Columns is off. If I ever forget to select this box, my search can end up taking several minutes to search the entire table for the string. Saving my default preferences would completely eliminate this problem. ...

Hi JMP users, I used to run some non-parametric comparisons for each pair using the Wilcoxon method in a repeated-measures designs through Analysis -> Fit Y by X report. I would like to know if it is possible to develop an effect-size calculator (add-in) for that purpose, please. Thank you. ... View more

I would like to be able to import selected images from a folder into a new or existing Data Table with the option to either match names of images with names in an existing column or to have the names of the images written in a separate column (see attached illustration).   It should be possible to specify a name for the Expression column ("Process Result Pic" in the illustration) and a name for the ID column (if used, "Serial Number" in the illustration), or if names of images should be matched with entries in an existing column, then the name of the existing column must be specified. It would be very handy if file sizes could be reduced (on import) down to a max of x Mbyte, and to a maximum width or height (as in the Column Property "Expression Role").   I'm aware that there is a community entry by M_Anderson with supplied jsl code that goes in a very similar direction, but with the expectation that a column with pic names already exists. I couldn't get this to work (probably I misinterpreted sth there).  It would be nice to have an official tool for this with more options. https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Scripts/Adding-Images-to-A-Data-Table-From-a-Directory/ta-p/40341 ...

What inspired this wish list request?  I have a lot of toolbars and organizing and editing them can become challenging.     What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like to see that if you right click on a toolbar icon you can go right to its edit screen.  I would also like to see that when you hover over the three dots on a toolbar "grouping" and the directional arrow pops up that the name of the toolbar grouping would show (this would make it easier to know which icons are in what group vs having to interrogate the toolbar list menu).   Why is this idea important?  Toolbars are an amazing efficiency gain but once you start to get more than a few going the Maintenance of them becomes an efficiency drag.     ...

As a JMP Partner in Brazil, I teach people how to use JMP to solve problems using data, and I’ve received some feedback on the language options available within JMP. While multiple languages are supported, Portuguese is not yet one of them. Including Portuguese would be a significant step toward expanding the JMP community in Latin America. Brazil is a huge market with tremendous potential! Although there are thousands of JMP users here, not all are fluent in English or Spanish. Our competitors’ software includes Portuguese support, which often makes it the preferred choice for some users. Adding a Portuguese option would greatly benefit the JMP community and increase adoption across Brazil. Thanks! ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  Platform Presets in JMP 18 and 19 EA are powerful tools to apply consistent styling to reports. However, they lack a feature that has been a consistent part of the JMP experience: holding ctrl does not broadcast the preset to all similar report instances in the current window.     What is the improvement you would like to see? When applying a preset to a plot, report, etc, I should be able to hold the ctrl key and broadcast the preset to all similar reports in the same window. This would address instances like multiple Ys in the same Fit Curve analysis, multiple By groups in a fit model, or any other instance where the same platform exists multiple times.     Why is this idea important?  Consistency in styling and content is important for reports, and the Platform Presets lose a lot of value if they aren't applied evenly. Broadcasting is an effective and efficient way to do this. ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  Documenting your models and data can be difficult but it is becoming more and more important.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Some time ago I came across Model Cards (Google Model Cards, [1810.03993] Model Cards for Model Reporting (arxiv.org)). Something similar could be implemented in JMP and I would also implement it for datatables. Easy platform which can be utilized to define specific things related to your datatable/model (description/details, intended use,...). In best case this could be printed in some format which could then be utilized outside of JMP.   Why is this idea important?  It is important to document your models and data but it can be a hassle. Currently (in my opinion) it is very difficult to do in JMP in any sort of efficient manner which would be easy to access, fill, update and read later. ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  Hoping to see more interactive way of building JMP "Flows".     What is the improvement you would like to see?  I feel a bit conflicted about this suggestion as this goes maybe a bit against what JMP does (get data, modify data, analyze data in a platform, do more analysis and keep going...) and where JMP has been going (Enhanced Log, Workflow Builder). But I still feel like this is something JMP users could benefit. We could maybe even see it as an evolution of Workflow builder or addition to that as Workflow designer.     I would think that something like this has already been suggested (and I might have discussed about this with developers and it might have been considered at some point, cannot remember anymore)... but add platform to JMP which would allow us to build analytical flow by drag and dropping JMP platforms to a canvas. I think JMP already has most of the features needed for this OUTSIDE of the canvas, we have icons for platforms, great platform launchers and the platform results are stored into scripts. We also have workflows but they are built while we work on JMP, in this platform you would be working in (or maybe workflow could build this type of graphical view). Workflows are also step after step after step BUT you could still visualize them going parallel even though they are not.   Below is small example by what I mean, I have a workflow in which I open data table, create few summary tables, one graph from each of these and then combine them into dashboard. Here I have basically have two separate  routes from the first table, both routes create summary + graph builder and combine back to dashboard with their graph builders.     Would be great if we could drop "Open" action to canvas which would then Open same file picker as Open() does, next drop Summary to canvas. When you drag a line from Open to that Summary it will launch Summary platform which you can then fill, in the end visually we could have something like this or If user double clicks (or right clicks and select edit) they would be able to modify the platforms (re-launch platform). This of course could potentially break the steps after that but it could be most likely verified on some level.   User could also have scripting block, which would then have inputs and outputs. Inputs would be generated based on the values you bring in from other blocks (not sure how constants should be handled, maybe have "constant" block).   Why is this idea important?  Many (low-code and no code) applications do provide this type of drag and drop option (or it might be the only option you have with them). With JMP I feel like there is already most of the needed capabilities to have this type of visual workflows (platforms already rely on tables, they can generate script for running them (at least most can)). ...

What inspired this wish list request?  When sharing link to script to others, if I have script open, I then need to guess and check where the script was saved to.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see similar functionality for hovering over scripts in JMP Home Window's "Recent Files" section in the "Window List" section, specifically adding the filePath.   Why is this idea important?  This will help prevent confusion if working on similar named scripts from different folders.   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Trying to make slight modifications to my existing models when I just have formula columns seems to take quite a bit of effort unless I have the script every time saved.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  In most simple case I would be happy to just have a way of getting all the column names used in a formula on clipboard (also make this scriptable without clipboard...). There might be other wish list item for this item but I could quickly find one. There are solutions in the community for this but they are fairly complicated Head Arg Recurse Formula , How to automatically extract the column name used by the formula in the JSL code? .   In best case I would like to be able to re-launch the platform which did create my prediction columns. As I'm JMP Pro user, I would be fine having this as a feature in Formula Depot. In this case it would be nice if different settings would be also pre-filled IF they are stored to the column properties.   Why is this idea important?  Makes it easier to go from prediction formula back to the launcher (when possible) to make small modifications if needed or just to rerun the model with same settings without having to save the platform script every time.   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Unlike other statistical software (Minitab), it seems that JMP doesn't provide detailed formulas for analyses. This lack of details and transparency can make it difficult for users to understand the underlying calculations.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Provide more formulas for analyses where it makes sense to include them in the support documentation and in cases where formulas are quite complex, simplified formulas for simplified examples so the user can understand the concept.   Why is this idea important?  understand the underlying calculations, it is quite often to get request to explain the analysis, how do you derive this conclusion and what kind of analysis and fundamental concept formulas are being used in the analysis.   ...
