JMP Wish List

When using a non-parametric test in the Fit Y by X oneway analysis platform the chart would stick with the default of showing mean values (group means or overall mean). It would make more sense to have a chart display that matches the type of analysis being selected. ... View more

Sometimes, long tails, distant modes or outliers that are part the initial data can be misleading in the profiler. As the profiler is not showing the data, there might be a lot of iteration plotting and visualizing those. With minor modifications in the profiler, one could visually detect all of these issues, see example below.   ... View more

☐cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☑ removes a (MS) „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  Many Windows users use Sharepoint to collaborate on the same files. Very convenient: synchronize the Sharepoint file with your OneDrive to have all the files accessible without the hiccups of direct Sharepoint access. This works great for Microsoft files like Word, Excel, Powerpoint...   For Jmp files, it can be very dangerous to have two colleagues working on the same file. In the morning, Alice opens a file, modifies it and saves it at 9 am. She expects the file to be automatically updated in Sharepoint-but as long as the file is open in Jmp, OneDrive won't send the updated file to Sharepoint. After lunch, Bob opens the file on his computer - unfortunately, still the previous version. He makes some changes, saves the file, and closes the file. Now Bob's file is sent to Sharepoint. After a few more hours of tweaking, Alice is satisfied with her version and saves the file. It's now 22:00 and she closes Jmp as well. Now Onedrive tries to update the file in Sharepoint and notices that the file has been changed "in the meantime" (according to OneDrive: in the meantime =  after Alice opened the file in the morning). Therefore, a message will pop up saying that "there are now two versions of the file" - the official one and Alice's version saved with a different filename. Unfortunately, Alice is already on her way home and won't see this message. Best case: The next day, Alice and Bob discover the problem - and after a few "seconds" of merging the files, they end up with the correct one. Worst case: Nobody notices.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please optimize the way Jmp works together with OneDrive and Sharepoint. Within Jmp there exist thousands or "workarounds" to make things work via Eval(parse (...)). I hope Jmp developers will find a creative workaround against this annoying behavior of OneDrive / Sharepoint.   suggestions: Please optimize the way Jmp works with OneDrive and Sharepoint. The ideal solution: working with Jmp files from OneDrive/Sharepoint works as seamless as for MS Office files. This will be along way to go ... Inside Jmp there are thousands of "workarounds" to make things work. I hope the Jmp developers will find a creative Eval(parse (...)) workaround for this annoying behavior of OneDrive/Sharepoint.   Suggestions: Is a file stored in OneDrive? -> is there an API command? if not, maybe check the parent directories and search for "OneDrive". If a file is saved to a OneDrive folder, inform the user that the file won't be updated online until the file is closed. close the file and re-open it to trigger the upload (how long has it to be closed till OneDrive notices?) When a file is saved to a OneDrive folder, send an API command to OneDrive to trigger the upload.   Why is this idea important?  The loss of data is one of the most serious problems.   other wishes from  ...

(reference Control Legend Layout / Length )   In platforms like Fit Y by X you can add a Row Legend to the graph. However, if there many categories to that legend, JMP just makes a one really long legend. This makes category identification / copy&pasting / etc difficult.   I would like one of two things:  1) JMP to automatically adjust the legend into multiple columns so that the legend is never longer than the graph is tall 2) Give options to users so they can control how the legend is displayed Some platforms already do some form of this (Plots in Fit Curve already have some level of column legend display). I am already aware there are some work arounds or using other platforms for display, but sometimes, Fit Y by X is the only platform option for some tasks... I haven't looked all over, but I believe Fit Y by X isn't the only platform which could use an update like this. Thanks! ... View more

In Semiconductor Industry, users often ask: - how many wafers (in this list of devices) - how many batches (in this list of wafers)   other JMP users need the functionality for: - how many countries (list of covid affected people) - how many companies (list of employees) - how many cities (list of people) In JMP it's too complicated to get such answers! Header Statistics is great - the other platforms should be optimized. I guess, no user complained about "too many" options in the Header Statistics? Nevertheless, to save newbies from crowded lists, the additional options could be hidden in a submenu - or behind a Shift-Click. * )available via header statistics nominal: continuous:     more wishes submitted by   ...

I'd like to see a propensity score platform in JMP with similar functionality to SAS proc psmatch, namely fitting the propensity score model, propensity score assessments, and matching.

What inspired this wish list request? A change was noticed in upgrade from JMP 17 to JMP 18 where all table column names are automatically alphabetized rather than following programmed order.     What is the improvement you would like to see?

☑ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☐ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   #myTop10_2022   If a column is set to "multiple response", there are cool options available in the data filter menu: These allow the user to get much more power out of the data filter. Most of them rely on the fact that there are "multiple responses" in the column - and the user can select which combination he wants. There is also an option "none". It has the same effect as the "inverse" - but the difference is that "inverse" just inverts the current selection, but "none" is a setting which is applied in the background. With "none" fancy Data filters are possible along the idea: THIS, but not THAT: https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Conditional-Data-Filter-for-modeling-type-Multiple-Response/m-p/556062#M77004   Unfortunately, for standard columns, there is no "none": https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/advanced-data-filter-arithmetic-just-available-if-the-column-is/m-p/556682   Every Jmp user who worked with the cool functionalities of multiple response columns (esp. the availability of "not") feels an incredible lack of functionality when working with standard columns.   my wish: Add "not" also for standard data filters.     more wishes submitted by   ...

☐ 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

We teach many of our engineers about paired t-tests and use the Fit Y by X platform (rather than Matched Pairs) when the format of their data set is more suitable for Fit Y by X. There are 2 frustrating aspects:   There is still an option for 't test' in the analysis, which does an ordinary two-sample t-test, which ignores the Block that you incorporated. Most engineers/scientists don't realize this. If the data is unbalanced by even 1 data point (e.g. I have 20 pairs, but there is 1 missing data point or outlier that was discarded), you get an error message saying the Blocking is going to be ignored. It's a somewhat confusing message for them, and I feel that most engineers/scientists just blindly keep following the platform output. If I had fit the same model using Fit Model, this slight unbalance in the data can easily be utilized to give the correct hypothesis testing output. I'd like to see the Fit Y by X output handle the unbalanced data when the correct model is rather straightforward. ...

☑ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☑ removes something that feels like a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   #myTop10_2024   What inspired this wish list request?  short: In Jmp it's quite complicated to generate a plot like this! Inclusive values will fix the issue ...   long: During the Semiconductor Lunch meeting @ Discovery Summit 2024 Europe, we found out that many of us have a similar problem:   GraphBuilder Plots with missing data.   examples: - date with missing month, day, year ( A way to show a date with no data in graph builder ) - wafer lists with missing wafer (for 25 wafers in a 5x5 grid generated via Wrap, wafer #20 should always be at the same position, independent of how many wafers < 20 are in the data / missing) - wafermaps with missing dies - pass / fail - bins with pre-defined categories (0 occurences for a specific bin) ... Motivation via date:  at first glance, nobody will notice that the data for Tuesday is missing - there is not even a label on the axis.   To make the missing day appear, one can add a dummy row, Day of Week = Tue, all other entries of the row: missing.   ... till somebody uses a data filter - then Tue is gone:   The only way to make it work: a dummy row for EVERY (!!!) item in the data filter. And if the user has a chance to change the column for the data filter: for EVERY item in ANY column the user may pick. Ouch !!!   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please add a column property for inclusive values *) - values which should always show up on the axis. For days of week: all days of the week :) For 25 "wafers" in a lot: all numbers from 1 to 25. For pass/fail : pass and fail . Such that one day when there is a lot with 0 fails the plot will say: fails = 0. Instead of: not showing any number of fails.   Besides usage for axes, also X/Y Group & Wrap should react on the new setting. The same for Overlay and Color.   *) "inclusive"? what is the best name for the property?  - "default value" sounds like  - additional, auxiliary, supplemental suggest that the value is no actual value of the column - after some discussion, Copilot suggested "inclusive" values - values which should be included, if missing.   Why is this idea important?  With the new column property INCLUSIVE VALUES, - missing value information gets visible (!!!) - the plots can be generated MUCH easier - the generated plots are "robust" (example with Data Filter!)   other wishes from  ...

Our company is now using automated scripts in JMP connecting to our Laboratory management system, LIMS, to pull data for SQC reports.  These need to be reviewed for 'bad data' prior to sending to customers.  Samples undergo multiple tests which need to be arranged in columns - 1 row per sample.  Most of the 'bad data' relates to a single test (maybe a typo or a measurement special cause) so we don't want to exclude the whole suite of testing just to remove that single point. JMP's row structure to data currently means the only way this is possible is to exclude values in column properties or delete the value from the cell.   ... View more

The only disadvantage: it generates a new data table instead of updating the main table.   I often have a table, with table dozens of table scripts which evolved over time - and Dashboards which refer to this table. To widen the analysis, I want to add a column to the table - but Tables/Join generates a new table.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please add an option in Tables/Join: Update main table. If the option is enabled, the platform should update the main table instead of generating a new one.   If Jmp developers fear that Tables:Join gets too crowded by this option, they could hide the option behind a shift-click or invisible to other users.   Why is this idea important?  There is no fast way to merge new columns to a data table.  Table/Join is almost the perfect tool - but it generates a new table. The additional setting will solve the issue.         more wishes submitted by   ... View more
