JMP Wish List

I wish JMP has "Econometrics and Time Series Analysis" capability/functionality. This is quite basic, even SPSS has it. Or, maybe I am missing something? ... View more

The Summary function is not flexible enough for users to be able to calculate various statistics (for e.g. Mode) using the group-by method, making it a pain in the neck to use. Other software packages like R and Python can easily allow the function to be performed on group-by data. ... View more

It would be helpful to be able to identify column types (numeric, character) or column format when importing Excel files.  There can be some columns where you want to force them to character (i.e. serial numbers that begin with a 0) or a column which is a date time, and you want it to appear only as a date. These features are available for CSV files, but not Excel files, so it seems like something that could easily be applied. ... View more

My company is not likely unique in that it uses Tableau for business informatics (notice I didn't say analytics, that's why we use JMP Pro). We have many thousands of Tableau users and many more thousands of people that use the Tableau browser interface. Those two populations outnumber our JMP users 3:1.   I've been involved in many cases where the data came from Tableau dashboards, was exported to Excel, then imported into JMP. The problem solving was then done in JMP on this static data set. For example, we are applying Process Screening to a lot of non-manufacturing data: it is great for finding the signal in the noise. Having JMP and JMP Live live connect to Tableau servers would be great feature to: simplify workflows and promote real analytics, not to mention increase the JMP user base. This wish can of course be extended to other BI systems.   @stan_koprowski - we had this discussion at Discovery 2019 ... View more

I like the Multiple File Import function, but when using excel spreadsheets, it would be nice to be able to select the worksheet that I want imported.  It defaults to just the first sheet, which isn't always what I want.  I currently use a script to select the appropriate worksheet in the file, so adding this feature to the Multiple File Import function would be nice. ...

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

It would be great to create a pacakge in python. So, that We can import the package python and call the jsl from python itself.    I have a jsl script which will generate plots and save to a particular location. I want to call this script from python and in back-end, it will run the script in JMP and save the plots. Can tell me command for the same in python.   https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/jsl-Script-call-from-Python/m-p/206295#M41799   @txnelson  @Paul_Nelson  ... 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

I was working on a problem using the  New HTTP Request. When an API endpoint is expected to return text/html, the current New HTTP Request would require the user to download the file . I believe it would be helpful if the send message was capable of accepting "blob" or "text" arguments.    https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/API-Response-Encoded-as-Gzip/m-p/82704#M37256 ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Working with large tables and wondering if it would be worth it to move some columns to separate table making the table creation much more complex process.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to have estimation of how much space each of my columns in my table take (compressed/non-compressed). This could be part of Columns Manager if it cannot be implemented to columns panel. This could also be potentially expanded to contain all different "size taking" parts of the table: column properties, table scripts and so on in some sort of "Table Manager" platform which we do not currently have.   And, of course as a scripter, I would like to have << Get Size (or something similar) message I can send to data table column to get sizes in JSL.    Why is this idea important?  Makes it easier to understand which columns are taking how much space in your data table.  ...

What inspired this wish list request? Unable to upload .SPC files.     What is the improvement you would like to see? Be able to upload .SPC files.     Why is this idea important? SPC files are a common file type associated with IR, Raman and UV/Vis data. More info on the .SPC file can be found via the Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPC_file_format     ... View more

I had chances to use the Artificial Intelligence on different topics: conclusions from tecnical reports, multi-languages interactions, data investigations. In this moment JMP Application is very powerfull with a big possibility on data analysis and data visualization. Due to this high numbers of opportunities and features... in some case (from my experiences) there is some "brain" barrier in the persons... because they want to do something (analysis/visualizations)...but they have not the correct background to do it... and then the are "scared" to use JMP.  In addition, we have more and more cross-language interaction and the co-work can be limitate from different languages.   What is the improvement you would like to see? It could usefull to have integreted in JMP an AI (Artificial Intelligences) that as co-pilot can help the users in very simple way (for data analysis,  data conclusions data visualization and text) Example 1: I have a data table -> in a text editor prompt I write: "Are my data normal?" (in different languages) -> output: written ->yes because in the normality test p-value is > 0.05 or graphics (data distribution, normality test, p-value, conclusion); Example 2: I performed some analysis with some output -> in a text editor prompt I write: "give me the same analysis in Chinese" Example 3: I have 2 data set- >in a text editor prompt I write: the average of the 2 samples is comparable? -> in automatic way there is the selction of the correct test and generate the simple output; Example 4: I have data from past experience... in a text editor prompt I write simple: which are the real signficatve variable for my output... Examble 5: I can interact (input) with JMP: by writing, by voice (using PC microphone), by file (.jpg, ...)    Why is this idea important?  1) increase the JMP Application usage also to a big group of person with no high statistical background knowledge; 2) Speed up dramatically the analysis/conclusions... for solution identfication... and reduce the time for benefit implementation; 3) remove languages barriers... increse the WW Cowork... more change to have JMP as a Standard tool spread in the World 4) Analysis by Analysis in a Organization/Company... the past experience is not lost... all analysis/concusions/visualization can move in a "big basket"/"data lake" and used/reused for next evaluations     ...

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?  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

☑ 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?  When a user renames a column, Table Scripts get automatically updated. When a user deletes a column which is used in a table script, JMP warns the user if the column is used in column formulas. But a table script will die without notice.   a) it takes a long time for the user to find out why the table script is dead. b) it takes some effort to create the column again (worst case: not possible to create the column again)   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Before deleting a column, please check if the column is used in a table script - and show a warning.   Names Default To Here( 1 ); Current Data Table() << copy table script( "no data" ); tableScript = Eval( Eval Expr( Parse( Expr( Get Clipboard() ) ) ) ); col_names = Current Data Table() << Get Selected Columns(); tableScriptList = Substitute( Name Expr( tableScript ), Expr( New Table() ), Expr( List() ) ); tableScriptList = Filter Each( {part}, tableScriptList, Head( Part ) == Expr( New Script() ) ); found = 0; For Each( {col}, col_names, For Each( {myScript}, tableScriptList, If( Not( Is Empty( Eval( Eval Expr( Extract Expr( myScript, Expr( Name Expr( col ) ) ) ) ) ) ), Caption( {100, 200}, "column \!"" || (col << get name()) || "\!" found in script: \!n" || Arg( myScript, 1 ) ); found = 1; print("found!!!"); Wait( 1 ); ) ) ); If( Not( found ), Caption( {100, 200}, "no column found.\!N ->cols can be deleted" ); Wait( 1 ); ); Caption( remove )   Why is this idea important?  Just imagine how many JMP users killed a table script by "accidentally" deleting a column. switching to "safe mode" will safe many users from the same issue.     other wishes from      ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Creating anonymized datasets and still having non-anonymized data.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  When user anonymizes data table this error message should give option to remove the scripts and variables, not just inform user about them (or I'm not really sure why they are even left there, the dataset is anonymized, they won't work anyway).   Why is this idea important?  Makes it less likely to share non-wanted data "hidden" in table scripts/variables. ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Always writing more or less complicated scripts to "clean" my data tables (remove table scripts, table variables, column properties, ...)   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Provide easy platform to cleanup data table. This should give option to remove table scripts, table variables, column properties, row states and all different modifications. In best case user could decide which to remove. Some of these could be implemented to Subset but I feel like this should also be separate platform.   Why is this idea important?  Makes it easier to create new data tables from existing ones without they carrying over non-relevant information. ...
