JMP Wish List

JMP platforms have inconsistent defaults. For some, you can set a default confidence level, e.g. the Distribution platform. Matched pairs has customizable default, but it is called "Set [alpha] level". We use a standard of confidence = 0.8. We can set that default for all the various platforms we use, except for "Life Distribution". I may be the only person submitting this change, but it is a standard within all of Department of Defense testing.

It'd be great if you didn't have to go back (from say Graph Builder) to the data table to find and change the Value Ordering properties, by instead simply double clicking on the X-Axis settings and editing the Vlaue Ordering from there..

What inspired this wish list request? The search bar in the Data Filter clears any previous selections. This makes multiple selections from long lists of many levels really tedious; you have to scroll through the entire list to make your selections. What is the improvement you would like to see? The search bar in the Data Filter should not clear your previous selections. Why is this idea important? This feature would enable easy & fast multiple selections from long lists. I'd like to use it to select ingredients from a standardized list of all of our raw materials that would feed a DOE factors table. This way, scientists are all using the same names/identifiers for ingredients in their DOEs. Without this feature, I'd have to build a bespoke tool & JSL scripts to do this.

What inspired this wish list request? I was working on a dataset with thousands of rows and hundreds of columns, and I saved dozens & dozens of scripts to document my exploratory data analysis and model development process. I organized the scripts in the script window by grouping them together. Whenever I received new columns of data, I joined the new data to the large dataset, and the resulting table inherited the scripts from the primary table but the script groupings disappeared. I had to redo the script groupings each time (or copy/paste the new columns into the primary table which is error prone). What is the improvement you would like to see? Table operations create new tables that inherit the primary table's scripts and the script groups. Why is this idea important? Maintain script organization as datasets and analyses grow in complexity. Not all data comes back at the same time, and new questions can be raised over time.

☑ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☑ users can remove bugs on their on ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it What inspired this wish list request? Via a user can edit the main menu and [on windows systems] the toolbars. Other menus cannot be edited. Unfortunately, some of the implemented functions have bugs - and some functions are missing. What is the improvement you would like to see? Please add the possibility to remove items from any right click / red triangle / ... menu and the possibility to add user defined items. This will allow us to fix tiny issues which won't make it into a future version of JMP - or just in many years. e.g. - Allow us to perform more actions when right clicking on column name on columns panel - Paste Column has a bug and should be replaced with a version without bug: JMP jumps Is it possible to customize the Add Formula Column menu to include customize functions? yes and no: - a user can not add user-Defined mini GUIs , e.g. to add Modulo to the portfolio. - Existing functions cannot be added to the menu by name. (TS-00152405) Why is this idea important? Less pressure on JMP developers to bugfix and fine-tune the GUI. Users don't have to wait for version N+2. -> Users will be able to bugfix and tweak the GUI on their own. other wishes from

What inspired this wish list request? Working with data tables with hundreds or thousands of columns. What is the improvement you would like to see? Browsing columns pane is fast and it can be filtered down quickly and you cannot do that with column headers (or with the table). I would like to be able to perform more actions we can perform from columns header from columns pane. Especially copying/pasting/inserting but I wouldn't mind if I had all the possible options under some new drop-down menu. One possible mock-up of the idea (there are some options which shouldn't be included and some are duplicated) Why is this idea important? Makes it easier to work with very wide tables.

What inspired this wish list request? I have a table that is already sorted in a specific manner and I can't resort it. I need to do a Column Statistic, but not a standard statistic. I can build JSL in the column formula to go through the whole table to create a matrix "by" the categories of interest, but for this larger table, the JSL layer would be pretty slow and inefficient. JMPs canned columns statistics already gather these matricies - and quite fast - so I would like to leverage that. What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like to see a column function that is more generic... so like ColMean(column, by1, by2, by3) returns the mean of a matrix of values by 'by1', 'by2' and 'by3' .... I would like a function that just returns the matrix of values prior to any math being done. Why is this idea important? As mentioned in the first section, coding this in the column formula would be very inefficient. Coding this in a separate script (a table script, perhaps) could be faster, but then not as 'live' as a formula in a column. With JMPs base infrastructure already existing, being able to leverage it further would be ideal.

☐ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☑ feels like a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it What inspired this wish list request? Some display boxes are not supported via Application Builder: https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/range-slider-box/m-p/696994/highlight/true#M88219 What is the improvement you would like to see? Please add Application Builder support for the missing Display Boxes: Range Slider Box (according to Jmp Support, TS-00074741, this was already requested before and is already on the radar of Jmp development) other missing Boxes, which may not be on Jmp dev. radar: Web Browser Box Scene Display List Calendar Box ... Why is this idea important? Application Builder is very helpful for users who design their own Reports. It should support all the functionality of Jmp. more wishes submitted by

The column recode platform is a lot easier to use than the value label option. It would be awesome to use the column recode platform and have an option to save as value labels in addition to the current options of a new column or formula or overwrite the existing column.

Using "Page" in Graph Builder I can get changes to broadcast nicely to all graphs, but using "By" I am unable to get that broadcasting. I would appreciate being able to use the Ctrl key to get a change on one graph to propagate to all graphs when using "By". E.g., if I open Graph Builder, click "Dialog", add a nominal X, continuous Y, nominal Page, then it produces a set of point plots. By holding Ctrl and clicking on the "box plot" icon, it transforms all the plots into box plot. Nice! However, if I open Graph Builder, click "Dialog", add a nominal X, continous Y, nominal By, again it produces a set of point plots. But when I Ctrl + click "box plot", only one graph is transformed into a box plot, the rest of the graphs remain as point plots. Not so nice. I would like if "Page" and "By" behaved the same in this sense - holding Ctrl while making changes broadcasts those changes to all plots.

JMP Windows Specific preferences does offer "Dock the Window List in maximized windows" option which is from time to time great. What I would like to have, is to be able to quick hide that window list in maximized windows. This could be implemented in similar manner as Hide/Close Left Panels in data table. Why? This is because the Window list takes quite a bit space if it is set in usable size and I would like to hide it when I have no need for it BUT get it back when I need it again.

☐ 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? Unlike plots and reports, column formulas don't use the information: which rows are excluded? - by default. If the user doesn't pay attention, this leads to erroneous, Max, Min Rank etc. values. The workaround: The user has to specify explicitly that excluded rows have to be excluded form the analysis. Therefore some kind of Excluded() has to be added to the formulas as soon as rows are excluded: Col Functions and Row States The problem: The user has to know about the problem. What is the improvement you would like to see? Please provide a shortcut button to add excluded()to the formula; The button could be placed between the columns list and the constants/variables menu. alternative: For new users, please add Excluded() from Function List /Row States to the functions favorites - to present it nicely visible at the top of the functions list. Why is this idea important? a) With the new button (or function favorite) a user can quickly add an excluded() expressions to his formula. b) A new Jmp user doesn't expect that such expressions have to be added to the formula. The availability of the button (or function favorite) will make him think, dig deeper and find out. more wishes submitted by

☐ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☑ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it #myTop10_2022 ➜ Jmp18 :) Get rows where is extremely slow if the column is referenced with a varible (here i=5 ) i = 5; dt << get rows where( As Column( dt, i ) == 999 ); instead of a direct reference like in dt << get rows where( As Column( dt, 5 ) == 999 ); My wishes: Is it possible to "fix this issue in the background"? e.g. by a setting in the preferences: "hereby I confirm that JMP is allows to pre-evaluate variables to speed up code execution - accepting that this could lead to unintended/unusual behavior" (I am not good enough in JSL programming to predict all the collateral effects - would such a mode make sense?) If fixing the issue in the background is not possible, could you please implement a warning function in JSL such that the user gets informed about the bad performance due to non-pre-evaluated variables. Then he can adjust the code, with substitute Should you Loop through a data table or use Recode, or use Get Rows Where to change values in a data table or Eval: https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Should-you-Loop-through-a-data-table-or-use-Recode-or-use-Get/m-p/580751/highlight/true#M78769 more wishes submitted by

I have two columns of integers (along with a bunch of other columns), and would like to overlay in Graph Builder on the pairing of the two -- Since overlay only accepts a single variable, I typically do this by creating a new column with both columns comma-separated by using the "New Formula Column" -> "Character" -> "Concatenate with comma", but when both columns are numeric, concatenating with comma is no longer an option, requiring a custom formula with char() and "||". Request adding a "Concatenate with comma" option to "New Formula Column" -> "Combine" menu.

☐ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☐ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it Columns with formulas are indicated by a "+" sign. Left clicking on the "+" opens the formula editor window - that's very convenient. Right clicking on the "+" doesn't have an effect yet. My suggestion: At the moment it takes several mouse clicks to disable the evaluation of formulas. Could you please add the possibility to switch the evaluation of a formula off and on by a right click context menu of the "+" sign?

It would be great is the JMP report for a control chart could display the run rule violations that are being tested (Not just the ones that have been violated). Ideally this would be some sort of footnote underneath each plot. This would help insure that the correct run rules were evaluated during a review.

Splerin · ‎12-15-2017

I suggest a lean project for JMP improvment. I've worked 5 years on train with Mintiab on a laptop without mouse...no problem. Using JMP seemst to me like a ego shooter, ..click here, click there, adapt scale, ....many actions are defined by double click, click+shift Some option settings in the evaluations screens, like same Y-scale for each graph (instead of left mouse click Y-Axis, right-click, edit-copy Axis settings, left mouse click +shift or ctrl, right-click, edit-paste Axis settings)-->7 clicks instead of 1... Hope that this is not an Error 40 issue (40cm in front of the screen)...

Allow joining two data tables based on not exact matches. I come across situations where I have to be able to join two databases (tables) together based on timestamp which aren't exact matches. This would allow me to do it based on those timestamps. The joins could also be based on string-similarities but I haven't (yet) come across situations where I would need to do that. Continuous column join should let user to define tolerance and allow using grouping column(s). Below are some example packages, which can provide some ideas on what type of joins and options would be helpful: Simpler package could be similar to Pandas - merge_asof . More complicated join options could be found from R - fuzzyjoin: Join data frames on inexact matching which allows joining based on multiple different matching types (string similarity, regex, numeric values within tolerance) There are couple of scripts found from JMP Community which can do this (or parts of this), but it would be helpful to have this possibility directly built in JMP: "Fuzzymerge" - join tables with slightly different timestamps by @klk Join Nearest Rows - Join tables by using continuous columns and nearest values by @jthi (me)

Right now in JMP it's very easy to select rows which are hidden or excluded. But there is no equivalent option for selecting columns which are hidden or excluded. I often use data tables with hundreds or even thousands of columns, and if I want to subset a table to only include rows and columns which are not hidden or excluded, this cannot be done (it's easy for rows but not for columns). It's very cumbersome to individually select columns when you have hundreds of them, and the "undesired" columns are already excluded or hidden. This should be easily supported through the UI, as it is a very common use case.
