JMP Wish List

What inspired this wish list request?  At the moment, when using the generic function of the units, round brackets are used for identification. In science and technology, at least in Europe, the square bracket is actually known as a clear convention for marking units.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Way to choose between the bracket style for units by option.   Why is this idea important?  Fulfill accepted conventions. Improve the way to transport information's and increase the comprehensibility.     ... View more

☐ 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?Managing a large number of jmp installations can be complicated when it comes to updating and /or harmonizing versions within a company.   What is the improvement you would like to see? On major release installation, it will be fine if InstallShield could ask this question: An older jmp version was detected, would you like to install the new version (and keep the old one) or update jmp?   and something that will be good too, keep the users preferences on major update from old to new release.     Why is this idea important? Facilitating the deployment of jmp in companies where the software is managed ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Accessing the Text to Columns utility from the main Cols menu is cumbersome and inefficient.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Enable Text to Columns Utility to be accessed by riht-clicking the column and from the Column manager. Potentially also allow the utility to be simultaneously operated on multiple columns.     Why is this idea important?  Increased efficiency and ease of use.   ... View more

  ☑ 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  ... View more

What inspired this wish list request? Managing jmp licenses can be tedious if we have a lot of licenses and employees resign or arrive. Corporate user management systems (like Active Directory or other SSOs) always need to be up to date, so if we can have an API to add or remove users on my.jmp.com, that would be very useful.   What is the improvement you would like to see? All actions that we can do manually in the my.jmp.com console should be possible with API and be documented.   Why is this idea important? Manage jmp automatically and not manually. ... View more

☐ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☑ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it #myTop10_2022   Short: get rid of all this white space !!!     Long: With nominal values on the x axis and X group activated, the axes of the sub-plots share a common list of values. All plots show all values.   In the example below, X group says that girls are in the left plot and boys are in the right plot. But due to axis sharing between both subplots, boys and girls show up on the axes of both plots. This is counter-intuitive and consumes unnecessary space. With some steps the underlying data table can be changed to generate a plot with girls just on the left and boys on the right: https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/X-group-gt-adjust-axis/m-p/542262   Would be great to have a right click option to directly "disentangle" the axis settings such that each axis gets (just) its own values.   similar topics: - same effect for y axis values and Y group - different axis scaling for continuous values in different sub-plots.   example: Plot with male and female students. Unfortunately, the plot on the left (F!) lists also all the  male students - and the plot on the right (M!) all the female students !??!     more wishes submitted by   ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  Resetting preferences when changing JMP versions is problematic because pre-existing preferences often get removed. The JSL Set Platform Preferences() command does not run if missing preferences are listed. Additionally, the alert only gives a few messages at a time, so multiple iterations have to be run to work through the list.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Is there a way to only generate the list of preferences set/modified by the user? The command currently seems to publish all preferences (unchanged/default and user set/modified). I primarily only care about the former. Is there a way to have the JSL commands ignore missing preferences? Is there a way to get a full list of missing preferences in one alert? Can JMP provide detailed documentation on which preferences ihave been removed for a major version change?   Why is this idea important?  This will enable aster changeover to and adoption of new versions of JMP.     ...

What inspired this wish list request?  There are many platforms where you can be asked to input a value, sometime the input box is pre loaded (such as in gauge R&R where a spec limit has been assigned to the column) or other where you have to enter it for each analysis (such as an equivalence level in Distributions).  However, you cannot broadcast these settings which means you can be set up for having to click the "okay" button a bunch of times to get the analysis to run.  A specific example is trying to broadcast turning on a GR&R analysis in the Variability Platform.  Here I entered the Meta data spec tolerance range but when I held down control and clicked the Gauge R&R button in the menu I then had to click through this menu pop up 10 times (as I have 5 responses for two different codes in the "By" factor)         What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like to see the ability to broadcast the value of a manual input across all input boxes or use the input of the meta data without having to click okay on each box.   Why is this idea important? This would align the expected results of using the broadcast function and also save the user from having to sit there and click dozens (if not hundreds) of input boxes to process the analysis. ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Trying to move my preferences between few PCs and running into issues when ALL preferences were exported instead of just changed. For example I'm not really sure if I would really like to set incorrect CPUID as it seems to be included in Get Preferences()   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Add << Changed option to Get Preferences(). It can already be found from Get Platform Preferences() Utility Functions (jmp.com) . With this we could get the list of the preferences user has changed. You could also provide function such as "Get Default Preferences" so we could always check the default preferences JMP uses.   Why is this idea important?  Makes it easier to take backups or move JMP preferences between different laptops when not ALL preferences are copied over. ...

Is it possible to consider as an option when installing JMP that Python and/or R can be installed and that these "extras" will be only used by JMP and do not interfere with other possible installations of Python and/or R.   Thanks ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  Trying to utilize column groups more and more to group data and sometimes I get very confused where this column belongs -> I have a script to prefix all my columns with their group names.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Give an option to add column group name as prefix (or suffix) to the columns. In best case this would be some sort of an virtual name we could see in JMP platforms and column list selectors but column names would still be left as the "original" ones. Maybe this would have to be some sort of a column property like we have Short name / Long name.     Why is this idea important?  Makes it easier to utilize column groups and seeing where my column belongs (for example in graph builder I would immediately see that by X belongs to "Response group" and Y to "Predicted group").     ...

JMP 18, if we give access to JMP for our users via JMP authorization portal, an eMail with a download link is sent out. This yields confusion since users in BASF should use BASF internal installation routines to install JMP, not your link!   It would be very helpful to have the opportunity to activate/deactivate that eMail from company JMP to our users.     ...

☐ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☐ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   #myTop10_2024     In Column Properties, one can define the colors and the order for specific "values" - but ist astonishing that JMP is lacking a possibility specify the marker settings as well. Therefore, the user has to synchronize the settings manually for every single plot: https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/color-settings-for-quot-missing-quot-values/m-p/565346/highlight/true#M77738    "Marker by Column" sounds almost like the missing feature - but a closer look shows that the functionality is "related", has little overlap and several disadvantages.   My wish: An additional column property setting to specify Marker settings for specific column values. The functionality should be analog to "value colors", but for markers.   The benefit: The user can specify (colors and) markers for specific values and make them more visible (e.g. highlight and differentiate between different fail categories, show "pass" with a tiny standard marker).     WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? "Marker by Column" uses row states to assign Markers. the issue: The setting is active for ALL (!!!) Plots - not just the plots where a specific column is used as overlay. With the help of Value Markers, one gets the chance to specify different sets of markers for different columns. This is already possible for Value Colors and Value Order. Why is it not possible for Markers.     more wishes submitted by   ... View more

Often I work with tables that have many columns. Scrolling back and forth to get to a certain area of the table can be inefficient if I have to stop periodcially to see where I'm at and then try to remember if I've gone too far or not far enough.   It would be wonderful to be able to assign colors to the background of column names. This way I can color-code sections of the table and quickly find what I want. Being able to assign a color to a group of columns would also be useful. It would be super great if the colors would also appear in the column window on the left also.   Thanks much and keep up the great work. ... View more

As an user, running JMP since version 9 and upgrading to JMPPRO some years ago, I'm always disapointed to shut down JMP complet while some - possible erroneous - big calculations are done and the programm is not responding and I have the urge to stop the software performing my false commands. A possibility to safe the last modifications in the opened data table would be realy helpful. As the session log was introduced with version 17, I wonder if that might be feasible using this new, wonderful feature. Or to introduce somethimg like a configurable "auto safe" in order not to loos to many modifications/ steps. ... View more

I have to have multiple JMP versions installed at the same time, and from time to time I get confused which version I'm currently running. I can always check it from About menu or create an addin which will tell me the version + product, but I would rather use icons for that.  Currently I have three different JMP versions in "active" use (even more versions installed...). I have pinned them to taskbar and changed the icons but with the current icon selection I cannot choose to show the current version, differentiate between pro/non-pro or if the JMP is EA product.    Current icon selection JMP16 Pro:   My current selections to help me make a difference between different versions: JMP15 JMP16 Pro JMP17 EA   ...

The mouse scroll wheel works great for scrolling vertically in data tables, but there doesn't seem to be any way to scroll horizontally with the scroll wheel in Windows.   Suggest adding shift-scroll (hold down shift key while using the scroll wheel) to scroll data tables left or right horizontally on Windows.   (Note, this already works very well on the Mac.) ...
