JMP Wish List

☐ 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

☐ 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?  Outline close orientation for column switcher issue      What is the improvement you would like to see?  Enhanced log/Workflow Builder  should be aware of the outline close orientation and the horizontal (0/1) settings specified in a report.     Why is this idea important?  If a user generates a report and re-creates it via auto-generated Script / Workflow Builder / Dashboard Builder, the report should look the same.   other wishes from  ...

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? Return to previous setting where the table column order is how the table was built.     Why is this idea important? Increased burden on large tables to reorder.      ... View more

☑ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☐ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   #myTop10_2024   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      ...

☑ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☐ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it     What inspired this wish list request?  In Jmp, one can use a data filter to restrict the data that is displayed in a graph. Alternatively - and  MUCH more convenient - one can also use another graph ... via Data Filter Source Boxes.   Unfortunately, this cool feature doesn't seem to be available in Jmp live :( https://public.jmp.com/packages/x9gGKNcCnsG61nfy00cCT    What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please support Data Filter Source Boxes in Jmp live! Example (Jmp17):     Why is this idea important?  This functionality is at the heart of JMP - users expect it to be available in jmp live as well.   more wishes from     ... View more

There are quite a few wish list items regarding data filters but quickly check I didn't find one exactly like this   What inspired this wish list request?  Using highly useful conditional data filter and realizing that is is very order dependent.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Some option which would allow me to force the order of Conditional data filter be from top to bottom   Why is this idea important?  Gives more flexibility to conditional data filters and makes it more user-friendly (in my opinion).  ...

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

☐ cool new feature ☑ could help many Jmp users! ☐ removes something that feels like a „bug“ ☐nice to have ☐ nobody needs it      What inspired this wish list request?  In a Data Filter there is a hidden feature to include / not include rows with missing values in a column with modelling type continuous:   If the red triangle menu is closed, the user cannot see if the option is on or off.     What is the improvement you would like to see?    1) In the main display box of the Data Filter, please add an indicator that shows if "select missing" is on or off.   2) In the main display box of the Data Filter please add a function to activate/deactivate "select missing".   Why is this idea important?  Missing Data is extremely dangerous - especially if the user doesn't know/see how Jmp handles this data.   more wishes from     ...

What inspired this wish list request?  JMP reports utilize a lot of outline boxes with red triangle menus in reports but dashboard uses tab page boxes. I prefer the look of tab page box unless I want to be able to collapse the highest level of report. Below are few examples of current implementations in JMP   What is the improvement you would like to see?  JMP does offer Report View options (currently Full and Summary). Add new option ("Dashboard"?) which would change the top-level Outline Box to Tab Page Box (even better would be if in graph builder "titles" could be combined but this is most likely separate discussion)   Why is this idea important?  Provides cleaner (in my opinion) reports to JMP. These can be already created using Dashboards or by scripting but it could be nice to have them directly available from JMP Reports.   Example script how Outline Box can be "changed" to Tab Page Box while scripting Names Default To Here(1); dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp"); nw = New Window("Dashboards", H List Box( tpb1 = Tab Page Box("Graph Builder", gb = dt << Graph Builder( Show Control Panel(0), Variables(X(:weight), Y(:height), Overlay(:sex)), Elements(Points(X, Y, Legend(9)), Line Of Fit(X, Y, Legend(11))) ) ), Spacer Box(Size(20, 0)), tpb2 = Tab Page Box("Distribution", dist = dt << Distribution( Stack(1), Continuous Distribution(Column(:height), Horizontal Layout(1), Vertical(0)) ) ) ) ); gb << Title(""); tpb1 << Set Scriptable Object(gb); tpb1 << Set Base Font("Title"); // Optimal case, you could hide "title"? graph_titlebox = Report(gb)[TextEditBox(1)]; graph_titlebox << Visibility("Collapse"); // and maybe move it to the proper title tpb1 << Title("Graph Builder - " || (graph_titlebox << get text)); dist << Title(""); tpb2 << Set Scriptable Object(dist); tpb2 << Set Base Font("Title"); Write();  Outline boxes    Tab page boxes   ...

The best part about the headers is their ability to convey info quickly, having a format that you have to think about takes away from this.     ... View more

☐ cool new feature ☐ could help a lot of Jmp users! ☑ removes something that feels like a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  The Column Switcher is very useful - but it has one major drawback:    The user can only specify which column to replace - but not WHERE in the graph. If a column appears in multiple places in the graph, ALL of them are replaced with the new column selected in the Column Switcher. So Column Switcher feels a bit like "Column Switcher light".   A great add-in that solves the problem:  Column Quick Swapper - easily change multiple Y and X-axis columns in Graph Builder    What remains is the opposite issue:  A column is only replaced by Column Switcher, if it appears directly in GraphBuilder. If a column is used in a Transform Column, Column Switcher ignores it.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please add an  option to Column Switcher to replace columns in Transform columns as well.   Why is this idea important?  Column Switcher is cool  - Transform columns are essential for certain use cases. Column Switcher + Transform Columns is a nightmare.    With the new functionality, Column Switcher + Transform Columns will become a dream team :)   more wishes from       ... View more
