JMP Wish List

What inspired this wish list request? As a Software Administrator in a University environment we manage affiliates that come and go so we would need a way to bulk remove said users. Currently you have to manually select the users to remove them.   What is the improvement you would like to see? Use the same function for adding user, allow the option to upload a CSV to remove users.   Why is this idea important? This is a must have for a EDU environment, as I stated above our affiliates come and go and we are limited to the total number of users we can add so this has the potential to become an administrative nightmare.     ...

There are quite a few wish list items regarding data filters but quickly check I didn't find one exactly like this   What inspired this wish list request?  Using highly useful conditional data filter and realizing that is is very order dependent.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Some option which would allow me to force the order of Conditional data filter be from top to bottom   Why is this idea important?  Gives more flexibility to conditional data filters and makes it more user-friendly (in my opinion).  ...

What inspired this wish list request?  You never should mess with user preferences when scripting (there is one exception) but sometimes changing them would make things much easier and script simpler.   JMP Projects - Local Preferences is a bit similar to this but has more limited scope   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see session preferences (these would be kept for the current JMP session) and instance preferences (could work in similar manner as Names Default To Here(1) changes namespace). It should be also possible to set session/instance Ignore Platform Preferences(1), below is example how these could possibly work when scripting Session Preferences( Platform Preferences( Bivariate( Ignore Platform Preferences(1) ), DOE( Simulate Responses(0), Suppress Cotter Designs(1), Save X Matrix(0), Discrete Numeric Powers Set to Necessary(0), Use Blue to Red color theme for color map(0) ), ) ); Local Preferences( Platform Preferences( Bivariate( Ignore Platform Preferences(1) ), DOE( Simulate Responses(0), Suppress Cotter Designs(1), Save X Matrix(0), Discrete Numeric Powers Set to Necessary(0), Use Blue to Red color theme for color map(0) ), ) ); Similar idea could be expanded to work with Presets Session Preset( Distribution( Continuous Distribution( Apply Preset("Focus on Distribution") ) ) ); Local Preset( Distribution( Continuous Distribution( Apply Preset("Focus on Distribution") ) ) ); It could be even worth it to be able to set these interactively and not just while scripting. Add new Session Preferences menu / add button to current Preferences and for presents some way to "enforce" specific presents for the session.   Why is this idea important?  Makes it easier to manage platforms when scripting without worrying about messing user preferences.   ...

What inspired this wish list request? JMP Platforms have a lot of different options which are found from red triangle menu. Sometimes I want to see all of them at the same time so I can make multiple selections easily and I can do this already by holding Alt.   What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like to have Search when I click on the red triangle while holding ALT so I can easily search the list of options. This search/filter should automatically be selected when I open that menu AND I think the options which match the search should be highlighted in similar manner as they are if you search your Preferences.   Why is this idea important? Makes it easier to find the options you are looking for especially if you wish to change multiple ones. ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  Messing up my column selection in Variability platform launcher when I didn't remember the exact order (was it the first or last item in group which was considered "part").   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to have Keep Dialog Open checkbox (disabled by default) in all of JMP platform launchers so I can enable it, run my platform, check I get I was expecting to get, if I didn't modify launcher settings, run again, ..., until I can close my launcher.   Why is this idea important?  Makes it easier to test different settings in JMP Platform launchers. We do have a recall but it is always a hassle to go and find the platform from menus. There is also the "Recall Last Platform" which kinda does what this check box would, but no one knows about it and it is behind menus (learning the shortcut would definitely help though, but it would force me to move my mouse hand to keyboard as by default it is Ctrl + L). Maybe adding that as a toolbar could be other option instead of adding keep dialog open check box. ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Easy and automatic access to "fresh" information on JMP community or live events,...   What is the improvement you would like to see?  JMP home screen, split the right side in two with an area dedicated to news (new versions, webinars, events, etc.) with web links or even a web page displayed. The page would be automatically refreshed at startup if JMP is connected to internet       ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  Sometimes JMP files are shared for collaboration where multiple people edit the JMP table. Anyone can make changes and it's not immediately obvious how the file has changed when it's shared.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  It would be nice if there was an audit trail so you can see who made what change and what the change was.    Why is this idea important?  More visibility to what has happened with JMP files that are shared.   ...

What inspired this wish list request?    Whenever i move/organise my files and folders, all of the JMP analysis links break if the graph has used a reference to the data table rather than embedding - this is most annoying/inconvenient, and means that i have to perform the analysis all over again. I believe this is caused because the link between the analysis file and the data table file is an absolute reference (ie, starting at C:/)   What is the improvement you would like to see?    It would be SOOO helpful, if those 'absolute' references could be replaced by relative references - since quite often, my analysis files are stored in the same folder as the data table that they reference. Doing this would mean i could then put the files wherever i like and they would still work and be useful.    Why is this idea important?    This would make it much easier for your users to organise their work after performing the analysis of data, rather than having to think completely proactively about how many files you might generate, and whether it might be better for them to have their own folder/location on a drive.    ...

Would be nice to have a JSL option to open/close table script groups (as we can with an outline box) Would be nice to allow table script groups with only one member. Sometimes these are created dynamically and we cannot anticipate if a group of table scripts will have one or more than one members ... View more

What inspired this wish list request? These two community postsColor code Top 5 and How to use JSL to set the color gradient of a column in text format by the value of a numeric column?. Interactive option can be a hassle (and not sure if it works with gradient) (and JMP couldn't capture those actions for automatization) and other option is to go with scripting.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to have some option to color cells based on other columns colors. This could maybe be implemented as column property?   Why is this idea important? Improves the visuals of JMP datatables .     ... View more

What inspired this wish list request? Other user messaged me and told that they couldn't save a project and it did take some time to figure out why it couldn't be saved (most likely due me not using projects)     What is the improvement you would like to see? Improve the content management within JMP Projects: Provide easy way to move all files which aren't currently self-contained into the self-contained project Allow saving project as self-contained I think currently you have to first figure out which aren't currently self-contained and then save them all from Save As menu Allow user to see which file is self-contained and which is not Can you tell me which of these are self-contained and which are not?  Maybe even provide a preference where projects would make all content self-contained automatically   Why is this idea important? Improves one of the things JMP Projects are supposed to be used for and good at: content management.     ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  If I make several charts and I want them attached to my data table, I need to go to each chart and save it to the data table. (I know I can also mess around with the log file, or I could do a work flow, but sometimes things happen organically and there might be intermediate steps in the log or flow I don't want.)   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Add an option where when you select the chart icons, there is a 'Save to Data Table' option. Then you could do all of them at once.     Why is this idea important?  Clicks are time, and time is money.   ... View more

What inspired this wish list request? I use column groupings a lot due to wide data sets but when I have down selected factors I would like to use in later analysis I need to be able to identify the factors easily.  Currently this requires breaking the original grouping structure to create a new grouping that has only the factors of interest.  This makes the data table less organized and harder to use for other analysis.      What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like the ability to have virtual groupings where a custom grouping can be made but will leave the original column groups and column order as they are.  So in a use case, I could have my X's in a virtual column that I could drag into an analysis platform but my original groupings and column order is not affect.  The virtual columns would not show up in the data, only in column list boxes. Icing on the cake would be for any multi-variable modeling platform to allow selected factors in either access factor importance or column contribution charts to be directly added to a virtual grouping.         Why is this idea important? This will help make analysis faster while still keeping the organization of a data table intact.     ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  I frequently right click the gray triangle > Edit > Copy picture to export report images. When I use a local data filter, I need to use a screenshot to capture the LDF.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  When adding a LDF, nest it under a new outline box with the original report.   Why is this idea important?  Easier to export graphics without screenshots and ensure that the filtering options are recorded as well.   ...

What inspired this wish list request?    The JMP dynamic HTML in JMP 17 broke with our internal solution where dynamic HTML reports are saved on one department's website, but IFRAME embedded in another department's site (different server URL).  The specific problem is that JMP 17's HTML javascript used 'window.parent.document', which makes the document in the IFRAME attempt to access the document in the parent window - which is a violation of browser/javascript cross-site scripting policies.   What is the improvement you would like to see?    There is no reason why JMP HTML documents cannot be stand-alone, and no reason why they need to access the parent window to an IFRAME.  Please make sure that no JMP dynamic HTML javascript attempts to violate or cross the HTML parent/child window document boundary.   Why is this idea important?    Because it allows collaborative HTML document sharing. ...

What inspired this wish list request?  I have many files that I need to merge them. They are all in excel and they have the same name columns if the comparison of the tables had a button this could facilitate the life to check if there are any mistakes or even the possibility to do a matching button for the ones that are not the same spelling...Also, the possibility to add more comparison tables instead of only 2.    This improvement could make it easier merging tables from different files and multiple ones. Helping researchers to do a bigger data bank.      ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  Participating in JMP Lab during JMP Discovery Summit Europe 2023 where I did use Projects (I don't really use them, but I do see that there could be potential) with multiple data tables and reports at the same time. I was a bit confused when I was creating new reports in projects because they didn't open next to my other reports belonging to that data table. This was even more obvious when I had to jump around the other reports and go back to newly created ones.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  When I'm working with multiple data tables in JMP Project's I would like to have my reports and data tables be ordered in similar manner as they are in Workspace. Below is an example: Starting situation, I have two tables with few reports each.   Next I will create Fit Y by X to Big Class data table and it will be added as last in the window listing.  What I would like to see it being added after the distribution of Big Class:   Option for this could be provided for example as a Check Box in somewhere of JMP Project user-interface (or maybe provide red-triangle menu for the tab selector where you could have even more different options).   Why is this idea important?  Improves the content organization in JMP Projects. ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Participating in JMP Lab during JMP Discovery Summit Europe 2023 where I did use Projects (I don't really use them, but I do see that there could be potential) with multiple data tables and reports at the same time.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Add grouping option based on hierarchy level (data table at least) in Projects sheet/tab selector. Below is short example on what I would like to see.   Starting situation: I have two tables open (Probe and Big Class) and both have two reports What I would like to see is to have my reports grouped by their data table(s), for example in this simple case I would like to have something like this or sometimes I might want to have the reports of the other data table be hidden With JMP there are cases where I will have linked data tables and I think they should behave in similar manner (though they don't behave this way in Window list either). In this case I have created linked summary table from Probe and distribution from that linked table   Why is this idea important? Improves the UI and UX (user interface and user experience) of JMP Projects by providing more content organization options. ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  Studying data modeling, trying to work with complicated datasets which have been (or rather could be...) divided into multiple data tables with virtual joins and working with PowerBI. JMP does have virtual-joins but trying to manage then is very difficult (at least in my opinion) and I would rather use full-joins which make the data tables unnecessarily large.   What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like to see a platform which I could easily use to work with Virtual-Joins (and maybe even with basic table operations). I'm fairly sure for this to work great, it would require its own larger platform like Below is a quick example built with Visio. in JMP if I want to do something like this, I think currently my best option is to use full-joins as virtual-joins are very very difficult to manage in my opinion. I will post a bit better demonstration in few weeks when I can share one data I have been working on, it has more tables and better model.   Why is this idea important?  Would make virtual-joins more useful, would make it possible to model data in JMP, would provide new platform which could be built on.     ...
