JMP Wish List

☑ 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?  Via the variables settings in Graphbuilder a user can disable some variables for a specific plot style. Extremely useful!! ... but it could be even better. At the moment, not ALL variables are listed, e.g. X / Y Group and Wrap are missing. missing: Wrap, X Group, Y Group ?!?!?   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Add checkboxes for the missing variables - to give the user the chance to disable them.   Why is this idea important?  If a user uses Wrap to split a plot into several subplots -  at the moment, there is no possibility to generate a COMMON FIT (with all data points) and display it an all subplots. such a common fit could be used to see how the individual fits deviate from this common fit.   Here is a workaround:  Before splitting the plot into subplots, generate a fit and save the formula to the table. Add the fitted data points and split the plot.   With the possibility to disab´ple the Wrap (or X /Y Group) variable for the Linear fit, the final plot could be generated directly with GraphBuilder without a woraround.   cool, isn't it?       Names Default to Here(1); // generate the plot without splitting it dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" ); myPlot= Data Table( "Big Class" ) << Graph Builder( Size( 582, 401 ), Summary Statistic( "Median" ), Graph Spacing( 4 ), Variables( X( :height ), Y( :weight ) ), Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 12 ) ), Line Of Fit( X, Y, Legend( 14 ) ) ) ); myPlot << Update Element( 1, 1, 2, {Save Formula} ); // save the fit :"Line of Fit(weight)"n << set name("common fit"); // use it in additional to the data points myPlot << Add Variable({:common fit , Role("Y"), Position(1)}); // split the plot myPlot << Add Variable({:sex, Role("wrap")})         other wishes from  ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Trying to filter down my JMP report results to see how specific columns of interest rank and it being very clunky.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Provide generic "Find" box which could be used with String Col Box/Number Col Box and so on. We already have right click option for Filter Where (and Select Where), but I'm looking quicker option which would add "Find" box to top of column name (or below it) so I can quickly filter the table box results.   Quick example (using Col Box with Text Edit Box would most likely be better idea) Names Default To Here(1); nw = New Window("Mountains", vlb = V List Box( tb = Table Box( scb = String Col Box("Mountain", {"K2", "Delphi", "Kilimanjaro", "Grand Teton"}), ncb = Number Col Box("Elevation (meters)", {8611, 681, 5895, 4199}), pcb = Plot Col Box("", {8611, 681, 5895, 4199}) ) ) ); // Add "filter" vlb << Prepend( tb2 = Table Box( sceb1 = String Col Edit Box("", {""}), sceb2 = String Col Edit Box("", {""}), sceb3 = String Col Edit Box("", {""}) ) ); tb2 << Set Cell Changed Function(function({this, col, row}, filter_val = lowercase((col << get)[row]); If(Is Missing(filter_val), tb << reset filter; return(); ); Eval(EvalExpr( tb << Filter Where(Contains(lowercase(Mountain), Expr(filter_val))); )); )); sceb1 << Set Width(scb << get width); sceb2 << Set Width(ncb << get width); sceb3 << Set Width(pcb << get width);   Why is this idea important?  Makes it much quicker to filter down Table Boxes in JMP reports.     ...

☑ cool new feature ☑ everybody will want it! ☐ removes a bug ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  Table Scripts are useful, Column Switcher and Data Filters are helpful. But - have you ever dreamed of having a universal control panel for your presentation? In Jmp 19 (?) it will be available *)   *) if enough users support this wish with a Kudo.   You might know: Enhanced Log/workflow Builder has two different ways how actions are recorded. a) for Tables, every change is recorded as a separate step: if a table is changed, JMP does NOT record a script how to generate the current data table, it just records how to get from the previous version to the current one   b) for reports, just the final version of the report is recorded: if a report is changed, Jmp doesn't record anything. Just at the end ... JMP         ....  records a script how to generate the current report]   Some days ago, @bswedlove posted the wishChanging a label should show in the Log  Let's start with this wish ... and think big - really BIG.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  add a setting for the enhanced log/ workflow builder on which level to record the steps: a) slim: just final scripts for reports (like now) b) verbose: intermediate steps are recorded as well What comes out: Presentation Autopilot   With the current Workflow Builder, a user can record his analysis workflow and use it again for the next data set.   With Presentation Autopilot (aka Workflow Builder 2.0), a user can generate an interactive, easy to use, fancy, impressive ... Presentation Workflow. He can start with a graph - and record whichever change he makes, group such steps and voila: he has an autopilot which can be used to interactively guide him through the changes of the graph, add variables, change colors, add labels, remove variables, replace variables, add a data filter, change the size, ...   Why is this idea important?  It will be sooo cool - everybody will want it! other wishes from  ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Response Screening is very fast platform when comparing multiple Xs and Ys. It also allows Fitting those items but only for selected items whereas Process Screening has two options "Show Charts as Selected" and "Show Charts for Selected". For is one off charts and as updates charts as user selects different rows.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Add option "Fit as Selected Items" to Response Screening Platform.   And while you are doing that I think you should also rename "Fit Selected Items" to "Fit for Selected Items" to make naming consistent between different platforms. Also similar approach should be applied to all platforms which offer this kind of features (plot once (for) and plot on selection (as)).     Why is this idea important?  Makes it easier to use Response Screening platform if you want to visually see how x and y compare to each other.      Below is a script which can be used to do something like this. It is very quick solution and just creates new window which can then be placed next to response screening for quick checks   Names Default To Here(1); ps_ref = (Current Report() << XPath("//OutlineBox[@helpKey = 'Response Screening Report']")); If(N Items(ps_ref) < 1, Throw("No Response Screening open"); ); ps_ref = ps_ref[1] << get scriptable object; tb = Report(ps_ref)[Table Box(2)]; nw = New Window("Visual", plot_collector = V List Box( ); ); Eval(EvalExpr( tb << set row change function(Function({this}, sel_rows = this << get selected rows; xcols = (this[String Col Box("X")] << get)[sel_rows]; ycols = (this[String Col Box("y")] << get)[sel_rows]; lub = Lineup Box(N Col(2)); For Each({{curx, cury}}, Across(xcols, ycols), lub << Append( Bivariate( Y(Eval(curx)), X(Eval(cury)), Fit Line({Line Color({230, 159, 0})}), Density Ellipse(0.95, {Line Color({86, 180, 233})}), SendToReport(Dispatch({}, "Linear Fit", OutlineBox, {Close(1)})) ) ); ); While(!IsEmpty(Expr(plot_collector) << child), Try((Expr(plot_collector) << child) << delete box); ); Expr(plot_collector) << Append(lub); )); )); Eval(EvalExpr( nw << On Close( Expr(tb) << Set Row Change Function(function({this}, return())); ); ));     ...

☐ cool new feature ☑ could help all Jmp users! ☑ removes something that feels like a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  In Jmp18, a warning message appears for EVERY user - EVERY day - EVERY time Jmp is started  ... unfortunately: already months before Jmp expires. Unlike a splash window, the pop-up window remains in place until the user closes it manually.   This is how it looks like:   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please - remove the warning message [either: completely, or: after 3 seconds] - just show the warning message 1 - 2 x before it gets disabled [automatically] or: - add an option to disable the warning message (like for the startup splash window).   Why is this idea important?  less confusion for JMP users no annoyed license site managers   other wishes from    TS-00143027   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Displaying images on hover over on JMP Graphs is useful but it can be cumbersome to display multiple images at the same time.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see new pre-determined Hover Label just for images/pictures. We have Label Viewer but it has very strict format in which it displays the labels (maybe this could be added to label viewer, but I think maybe having new "Image Label Viewer" might be also a good thing)   If there is single row With multiple rows   I would like to be able to choose between horizontal/vertical/grid layouts. Using the examples above this is very simplified example (only for single rows but if needed I can create examples for how it could behave for multirows) Horizontal layout   Vertical (basically what we already have) Grid with width of 2 Grid with width of 3: Why is this idea important?  Makes it much easier to utilize images in hover labels without scripting.     One more thing to add to to my increasing list of "create add-in of this". ...

What inspired this wish list request? I would want to see just limited selection of rows in the data table but I currently have to subset the datatable to have a quick glance at the selection.     What is the improvement you would like to see? Add in a "hide in table" option for rows where the row itself does not appear in the data table, much like you can do with columns. This could work much like the filter options in excel.     Why is this idea important? I am often concerned with only viewing a small selection of my data in a data view "analysis" but I don't want it to be in its own data able as I am still using all the data in a global view in something like graph builder.  Also, anytime I can do something in a table without having to make a new table (less windows!) is always a win.     ...

What inspired this wish list request?  The limitation of column switcher, that we cannot have same column used in multiple roles without running in all sorts of issues.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see new switcher which would allow me to change the columns used in Roles instead of columns. You define which role in your report you wish to modify selections for, you select which columns include in that switcher and then it would work in similar manner as column switcher WITHOUT the worry that there would be collisions as those would be allowed.   Why is this idea important?  It would allow us to swap columns used for different roles without worry that the column is already used in other role at the same time.   This could maybe be combined with New filter "Column Filter" a combination of Local Data Filter and Column Switcher (better name for that suggestion could be for example Role Switcher or Column Quick Swapper like I did rename the add-in) ...

☐ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☑ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  this community discussion : Graph Builder: Unclear statistics when using multiple response columns    @gnu23 wrote: I think the discussion boils down to the question, if statistics on multiple response columns should generally either use the number of responses (standard now in JMP) or the number of rows as 'n'. In my opinion the second option would make more sense for many use cases and an option to switch between these two values for 'n' would increase the (already very nice) functionality of multiple response columns.     The default statistics in Graph Builder for counts and percentage, is (*):  "one row counts one - Ntotal (denominator for percentages) is the number of rows". [This statistics can be adjusted via the Freq/Weight drop zone.]   Surprising: If a column with modeling type "multiple response" is used ANYWHERE in the graph, the statistics changes to "one response counts one [OK] Ntotal (denominator for percentages) is number of responses" [maybe: not OK].   So, to generate meaningful bar charts on the porcelain layer, it seems that on the plumbing layer Jmp  stacks the individual responses, creating additional "rows", and then applies the standard logic (*) For simple bar charts, this might be reasonable, but for Ntotal and the calculated percentages it leads to funny/strange effects.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please provide a more meaningful statistics for Multiple Response (e.g. as an alternative to the current version): "one response counts one But: denominator for percentages (Ntotal) is the number of rows contributing to the plot - like in standard Graph Builder"   on the plumbing layer one might think of: Any column with multiple responses is split into "indicator columns", representing each response - the number of rows stays constant. This approach is much closer to the default Statistics in Graph Builder. As a side effect, this alternative approach will also fix a bug which shows up if multiple columns with modelling type "multiple response" are used in one graph: https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Graph-Builder-Unclear-statistics-when-using-multiple-response/m-p/754313/highlight/true#M93647    Why is this idea important?  a) Meaningful statistics. b) no misleading statistics anymore for users who don't "notice"      other wishes from  ...

What inspired this wish list request?  An interaction plot is a great tool for beginners, which also offers an overview of confounding. Interaction-plot is implemented in the tool "fit model", but newcomers will mainly use the graph menu. For a simple case of two X's, it can be easily created in the graph builder but it will be harder for more than 2 X's.      What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please, implement "interaction plot" according to the tool "fit model" within the graph menu. An option could be, that x and y could be selected and the complete 2-way interaction matrix will be created.      Why is this idea important?  It is necessary to understand interactions. There is no need to create a model to understand interactions. Until now interaction plots are hidden in "fit model" and it should be more visible especially for beginners. A specific item "interaction plot" in the graph menu would be very helpful.     ... View more

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_2024 already available :)   What inspired this wish list request?  The fitting options in Graph Builder are very restricted. It's not possible to fit data with outliers or with jitter on the x and y axis.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please implement some of the cool options from Fit Y by X  also in Graph Builder!   The benefit: Users who want a cool Graph Builder plot AND a meaningful regression (like Deming or Passing-Bablock) don't have to take the detour via Fit Y by X -- including the  hurdle to find the Deming regression :)  .   Why is this idea important?  Graph Builder is THE tool in Jmp - some users use it also to fit their data. Graph Builder should provide a 1-click->fit option that is robust against outliers and which can handle jitter on the x AND *) y values.   *) extreme cases:   other wishes from  ... View more

☑ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☑ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  In Semiconductor industry, one often has to "flip" a wafermap - e.g. to generate a bottom view. or more often: to flip a bottom view to a top view (so that colleagues don't have to bend their heads to understand the map)   Unfortunately, in Graph builder, with shape mode, it's not possible to flip the plot: Graph builder - reverse Y scale (only)?    What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please provide an option to flip a plot   options: a) by just reversing one axis scale b) by allowing negative values for aspect ratios     Why is this idea important?    more wishes from      ...

I've been trying to use JMP's MDS program to provide a clearer visualization of values data I have. Working with your support team (particularly @PatrickGiuliano), it was suggested that I request this functionality -- hopefully for JMP 18.   'Multidimensional Unfolding', available in R, with the SMACOF package and maybe the best applied reference on it here: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/smacof/vignettes/smacof.pdf Here's a brief summary related to the special Unfolding technique from Copilot:  Multidimensional Unfolding: Unfolding is a related technique to MDS. It represents input preference data as distances in a low-dimensional space. The smacof package has undergone major updates, including a complete re-implementation of multidimensional unfolding. Notable features include: Monotone dissimilarity transformations: This allows for various unfolding scenarios, including row-conditional, circular, and external unfolding. Optimal scaling of external variables: The constrained MDS implementation now extends to optimal scaling of external variables. I'm including an article that provides the type of visualization I was looking for but cannot currently get through JMP 17 Pro.    Thank you!     ... View more
