JMP Wish List

JMP does an amazing job of chugging along so even long analyses get done eventually (unless there are hardware limitations). However, sometimes these long processes are kicked off on accident or without realizing how long they will actually take.   I would like to suggest a way to kill the current process so the single thing I started stops, but I don't have to force close all of JMP and lose any other work I have going on. I know myself, and many colleagues, have done these things - from an accidental click to a botched while loop - so a way to save JMP from this 'killer process' would be greatly appreciated! ...

☐ cool new feature ☑ could help all Jmp users! ☑ removes something that feels like a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  In Jmp18, a warning message appears for EVERY user - EVERY day - EVERY time Jmp is started  ... unfortunately: already months before Jmp expires. Unlike a splash window, the pop-up window remains in place until the user closes it manually.   This is how it looks like:   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please - remove the warning message [either: completely, or: after 3 seconds] - just show the warning message 1 - 2 x before it gets disabled [automatically] or: - add an option to disable the warning message (like for the startup splash window).   Why is this idea important?  less confusion for JMP users no annoyed license site managers   other wishes from    TS-00143027   ...

I enjoy using JMP and have been a user for many years.  But one area that is lacking is the ability to make notes on a file.  Compared to Jupyter notebooks/Lab or R.  There isn't really a place to add comments to your work on the file.  I guess you can use the Journal tool, but that is more for use when you want to combine several studies.  i don't have a way of making notes to remind me or someone whomever I'm sharing the file if there were any interesting insights.  ...

What inspired this wish list request?  I have come across few types of issues with data filters when working with large datasets which make filtering data very slow and unresponsive (conditional data filters getting unfiltered and using Find). Issues with Find can be related to few (bugs? or features) how Find works with local data filters, but Run would still be nice option to have.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see an option in Filter red triangle menu to create Run button for a filter. This would allow me to filter the data to the level I want to before filtering it all.   Why is this idea important?  Using filters with data having a lot of data can get quite unresponsive from time to time, especially if there is any calculations involved. ...

As a long time JMP user, I would like to make two suggestions for new features.   1. Ability to color code column headers. This would make it tremendously easier both to organize datasets with many columns and also to more easily find columns. This could be integrated with the grouping column function to color code a group of columns. This color coding could also extend to the column list on the side of the table.   2. Second level header. When grouping columns, it would be wonderful to see another header level above the existing levels spanning the group with the group name and color. Again, this would help in column navigation and table organization.   Thanks for your consideration. ... View more

  I frequently use Journals to capture snapshots of my output. I will then rearrange objects in the journal (typically so that things look more "square" or "wide" (since computer screens are wide, not tall, and JMP reports tends to be tall). Also Creating an outline box in the Journal to contain a section of analysis is a nice way to organize the journal. Then when I want to share it, my typical tool is powerpoint, but I would also like to use export to HTML.   Exporting to doesn't always work as I intend, because typically each outline box and sometimes text boxes in the display are exported as separate pages in power point.   Here are some wishes: 1) Allow Journals to be published to HTML.  (this would be great for JMP Live). 2) Create a way to indicated that a group of display objects should be treated as one thing for conversion to an image when exporting to powerpoint.  Ideas on how to do this:      a) create a flag for the OutlineBox() display object to indicate that everything contained in that outline box should be grouped together for export.  And then update the export / save to powerpoint to recognize that flag and capture the whole contents of the outline box as an image together    b) create a new display object (aka ExportTogetherBox()) that acts like what I described above     Even if the Outline Box() could have a flag to set that says "treat this like all one thing" for export to powerpoint, that would be fantastic. ...

Inspiration: I am tired of resizing list boxes in dialogs so I can see items.   Improvement: Make the default widths wider and list boxes longer. They typically assume column names and data table names are very short and lists are short. Suggest dynamically computing appropriate width and length based on what is being displayed and how much space there is (also using larger dialogs - most people work on large screens and screen size can be detected), or at least add a preference setting for minimum width and length.    Why is this idea important? Half of the clicks I do in dialogs are to make the list boxes wider or longer. Fixing the issue will save time.  Here are some examples of default presentations:       ... View more

Topic: add build-in capability that allows to paste directly a list of column names -from clipboard- in column dialog filter.   Today's workaround: as of today, I did a script that  takes the clipboard content -loaded with column names- and converts it into a regular expression. Then, I paste this regular expression in filter and I select 'regular expression' filter mode. This works but is a bit painful. I use this often when working with 'column switcher', but I assume this may work for many other needs.     ... View more

☐ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☐ removes something that feels like a „bug“ ☑ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  For linked data tables (either summary tables or linked subsets),  a click on  will take me to the original data table. This is very convenient. Great that JMP is willing to share this knowledge.   Unfortunately, there is no corresponding functionality available via JSL - to get from a linked summary table or subset table to the main table.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  For reports, one can use the message << get data table()t o get a reference for the data table. For linked summary tables and subset tables, please provide a corresponding message to get a reference of the original data table.   Why is this idea important?    Just imagine how often you generate a report from a summary table - and then face the difficulty how to save the script. Actually, it's just a combination of  a) the source script for the summary table b) the source script of the report ... but it requires ~ 20 mouse clicks to save the combined script to the main table. If there is a way to get the main table - all this could be triggered by a single click on a toolbar. cool, right?   other wishes from  ... View more

What inspired this wish list request? When I need to filter multiple items in a list it is great to be able to type in the main portion of the "item" so that the filter only shows relevant items.  However, when I then go to filter additional items and thus clear the filter text box when I type in a new main portion of an item into the filter text box it resets the selections.   In this example I want to select all names starting with C and J.  So I start with c's:   clear the filter text box and so far so good....   Then go to J's: and now my c's are no longer selected...         What is the improvement you would like to see? Please allow the ability for the previously selected items to not be cleared, thus the change in filtered items can be additive.     Why is this idea important? This will speed up the process of filtering columns with lots of levels that are not in easy to find blocks.     ...

As the title says,JMP really needs the possibility to superscript text in the graph titles and axis labels. The current workarounds unfortunately are cumbersome and do not meet the needs of users coming in chemistry and physics.   Worth noting that this is a standard function in most other competitors of JMP ...

it should be possible (like minitab) to set the preferences for a graph with footnotes.   Projekt Name, (Worksheet), Date, Time, Open Text   as footnote on every graph as a requirement from quality standard. So you can find from which file, which sheet, date and the owner who crated the graph.   (that's also why subset should be handled in worksheets within the project and not as new table, outside) All browsers and programs changed from new windows to tabulated screen, within one programm).     ...

Currently, letter reports, indicating pairwise differences, are not generated for non-parametric pairwise comparisons such as the Steel Dwass test.    It is a pain to calculate those by hand and this has been a problem for users for years for multiple users: Can you generate a letters report after conducting the Steel-Dwass nonparameteric comparison?  ...

Hi.  I'd like there to be a button, right-click, or double-click option to automatically resize multiple selected column widths based on their content.  I know there are add-ins users have created to do this, but it would be great to have this integrated into JMP.   Similarly, I'd also like there to be way to select multiple columns, drag the column edge of one column to change the width, and have the new width applied to all column (Similar to Excel).   Thanks. ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Table variables are nice place to store information which users can then access as table variable or use in formulas. Currently we are limited to text and numeric values which limits the usage and requires workarounds save matrix as table variable?    What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like that Table Variables would support all JMP data types (or at least lists, matrices and associative arrays). Currently we have to use workaround where we convert these into string and then back to the original datatype using Parse() Names Default To Here(1); dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp"); dt << New Table Variable("Day_mat", Char([42 43])); m = Parse(:Day_mat);   Why is this idea important? Makes table variables more useful without the requirement to use workarounds which might or might not work.     ... View more
