JMP Wish List

In graph builder, if I use the local data filter in the Graph Builder, a convenient Where() statement appears at the bottom of the plot; but if I use another platform like Fix Y by X I can't seem to get it to appear. It's very convenient in Graph Builder since it saves me from manually having to identify how the visual is filtered, but when I need to do something more in-depth I have to call it out.   Is there a way to get the Where() statement to appear in other platforms to reflect what's selected in a data filter?   Original Post:   https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Where-displayed-on-plot-analysis-with-data-filter/m-p/299702 ...

Unlike nearly all other JMP analytical platforms, you cannot "save script to data table" for any model built under the Consumer research-categorical platform. I would think this would be easy to implement and would benefit me (and hopefully others) greatly! ... View more

I really like the graphlets in the MDMVCC platform, especially when going from the T2 on the principle components to the Diagnosis of the process plots.   Based on some of the other subroutines in the multivariate platform, and combined with the score plot, I think it would be very helpful to have a parallel plot as a subroutine in the MDMVCC. This could very much help to see the connections between certain processes and how they might interact to lead to OOS or OOL processes.   Just a thought.   Thanks!, DS     ... View more

Allow a user to re-open reports which took a long time to run, or reports created with random components (like bootstrapping or k fold validation), without re-running those analyses.  This way: If a user doesn't export every possible column formula from that platform, they have an option to go back to the original analysis and create them later without having to replace all previously exported columns It is possible to save the current 'session' in JMP without having started within a project. Identical analyses can be viewed by multiple users without having specified a random seed prior to running the analysis, or when using platforms that utilize multi-threading Users do not need to wait for long-running reports to re-rerun, and they can view reports that ran on much larger computers and cannot be recreated on their machine. ...

I am a discrete event simulation expert... I know JMP used to have a Simulation Studio module, now I would need to purchase SAS OR to use it. In several projects I execute, adding a simulation process on top of other analyzes in JMP would be very useful - actually I analyze data and switch to a simulation platform afterwards. Would it be difficult to bring back the Simulation Studio?  ... View more

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?  ...

My snobby psychometrics colleagues don't like alpha (even though it's used 98% of the time), because one can get a high alpha even if one has no general factor. Omega (hierarchical; not general) is the solution. I am writing to plea for consideration for future JMP (or if anyone is sufficiently challenged, an add-in). Thanks.   For more information see: https://www.personality-project.org/r/html/omega.html ... View more

In data tables with some more columns it can be useful to preselect rows to tidy up and document what you're doing. Then one would know later which cols have been selected for e.g. predicting.   But I'm not able to use this feature, because starting a platform with existing preselected rows (x and y) usually lets the platform run directly. It is then not possible, to add e.g. some by cols etc. So my way currently is, not to use preselected rows, and Group cols accordingly (to remember which are my x's).   I think it would be better to stop platform at launch window even in case of preselected rows. Or at least configure in Preference which behaviour is preferred. But I would prefer the first Option.   There's a thread regarding this behaviour, and the presented solution (relaunch) is not helpful for platforms that take some more time to run ... https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Preselected-Role-and-automatic-Analysis-How-to-stop/m-p/11928   ...

For time series data a hairline tool is a common way to show values across many charts at once.  In the screenshot below two static hairlines were placed on the chart and the third one moves with the mouse.  When activated in graph builder, or maybe in all open charts sharing a single dimension, put a line through all charts corresponding to the mouse position on a shared axis, and allow the user to drop or remove hairlines.  The user would choose an active hairline column in each table (likely a time or a sample number) and then all open charts using that dimension on an X or Y axis would display a hairline a that position and show corresponding values for all other variables intersecting that line.      I am not sure if this could be a modification to the crosshairs tool or a new tool entirely.   Implementing this for a single graph builder report would be an acceptable compromise if accessing all charts is time consuming. ...

*** 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 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. ...

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

Two kinds of statistical tolerance intervals exist. First, beta-expectation tolerance interval is a statistical interval within which a specified proportion (beta) of the population is expected to fall. The second kind is the beta-content gamma-confidence tolerance interval that is an interval within which a beta proportion of the population fall, with the confidence level gamma. Those intervals are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. ... View more

I'd like to suggest an ability to control the DPI/resolution of images created when you save a Web Report.  Currently if you make a web report without the data, the static images are a fixed size.   Current DPI options are not followed by the images created when you do a 'New Web Report()' and then a '<< Save()'.  ...

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
