JMP Wish List

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 ...

For 2-sided normal theory tolerance limits there are two approaches based on content: assure that the interval covers at least p proportion of the population with specified confidence assure that the interval covers no more than (1-p)/2 from each tail of the population (cf. Hahn and Meeker [1991, 2017] or Krishnamoorthy and Mathew [2009]). The second approach (introduced by Owen, 1964) is more stringent, producing wider intervals, but directly related to an exact lower confidence bound for process capability index Cpk (cf. Chou, Owen, & Borrego, 1990). Currently, JMP only offers the 1st type. Please add the 2nd type as an option. ... View more

I would like to be able to create Multiple Response columns when splitting data tables. This would allow user to see that there are multiple values in columns that you didn't drop (currently it takes first? value based on order?).   I can fairly easily script my own custom Split platform, but I would rather use JMP's own. Below is example script with "regular" split and what I would like to have (can already be done with combine columns but without scripting is a hassle). Names Default To Here(1); dt = New Table("MEAS_DATA", Add Rows(10), Compress File When Saved(1), Set Cell Height(19), New Column("ID", Numeric, "Continuous", Format("Best", 12), Set Values([1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5])), New Column("Process", Character, "Nominal", Set Values( {"MEASUREMENT_A", "MEASUREMENT_B", "MEASUREMENT_A", "MEASUREMENT_B", "MEASUREMENT_A", "MEASUREMENT_B", "MEASUREMENT_A", "MEASUREMENT_B", "MEASUREMENT_A", "MEASUREMENT_B"} ) ), New Column("Value", Numeric, "Continuous", Format("Best", 12), Set Values([1, 2, 1, 4, 7, 1, 2, 6, 2, 1])), New Column("Error", Character, "Multiple Response", Set Values({"0", "0", "1", "0", "2", "1", "0", "0", "0", "0"})), New Column("Status", Numeric, "Continuous", Format("Best", 12), Set Values([1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1])), New Column("Time", Numeric, "Continuous", Format("Best", 12), Set Values([1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2])) ); dt_split = dt << Split(Output table("Split"), Split By(:Process), Split(:Value), Group(:ID), Sort by Column Property); //suggestion... directly from split? I could also fairly easily script this //multiple response only supports character data, but doesn't really matter in my use cases (usually) dt_mult_resp = dt << Split( Output table("Multiple_response_split"), Split By(:Process), Split(:Value, :Error, :Status, :Time), Group(:ID) ); dt_mult_resp << Combine Columns(columns(:Error MEASUREMENT_A, :Error MEASUREMENT_B), Column Name("Error"), Delimiter(",")); dt_mult_resp << Delete Columns(:Error MEASUREMENT_A, :Error MEASUREMENT_B); dt_mult_resp << Combine Columns(columns(:Status MEASUREMENT_A, :Status MEASUREMENT_B), Column Name("Status"), Delimiter(",")); dt_mult_resp << Delete Columns(:Status MEASUREMENT_A, :Status MEASUREMENT_B); dt_mult_resp << Combine Columns(columns(:Time MEASUREMENT_A, :Time MEASUREMENT_B), Column Name("Error"), Delimiter(",")); dt_mult_resp << Delete Columns(:Time MEASUREMENT_A, :Time MEASUREMENT_B); I think this should most likely be new Col List Box in Split platform (and if that isnt possible then check box, but this isnt as good option in my opinion). ...

My three suggestions are thus: -1- It would be very handy to be able to create univariate or multivariate Hidden Markov Models (HMM) using JMP Pro in order to detect anomalies in spatiotemporal series data.  -2- It is important to find a way to combine JMP Pro capabilities with spatial analysis software (e.g., QGIS, and ArcGIS). -3- Having wavelet denoising techniques available would be great.  Best wishes ...

*** 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

For future Control Chart Builder enhancements in JMP15 or beyond. New drop zones for columns that contain multiple LSL, LCL, target, UCL, USL values.   Some users have to track multiple spec limits and control limits in a relational database, so columns are stored for LSL, LCL, target, UCL, USL. Would be nice to have drop zones on Control Chart Builder for these columns, instead of relying on the static Column Properties for Spec Limits and Control Limits. For example, in Graph Builder, we can drag these columns to the right axis, and change these to lines, while keeping the raw data on the left axis as points, which mimics a control chart with changing spec limits or control limits. Or if different limits, can use these drop zones and use the By button to plot by what changes, like process or product. In Control Chart Builder, can somewhat mimic by using the Phase drop zone for a column like target, if it changes, and then use a script to add the other lines.   These drop zones would have to override any Column Properties if there are conflicts, or make a warning. And you could not save these to the column properties, since they change vs. sequence. ... View more

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?  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.   ...
