JMP Wish List

What inspired this wish list request?    More intelligible table names when the option "Subset by" is used. Consecutive numerical naming, along with the deletion of the Subset by column creates datasets that have had data deleted and can be difficult to name properly.   What is the improvement you would like to see?    An option to append the data that has been appended into the subset name.   For example:  If I have a data table that includes a column :Fruit of fruit names and I want to create a subset for each fruit (given the output name of "Fruit"), right now I'd use --> subset > Subset by :Fruit. This would output data tables that have the name "Fruit 1", "Fruit 2", etc.  The data of which fruit each data table has been created for has been lost, since the column with this information has been deleted in this process.  I'm suggesting the following:   If I have a data table that includes a column :Fruit of fruit names and I want to create a subset for each fruit (given the output name of "Fruit"), right now I'd use --> subset > Subset by :Fruit. This would output data tables that have the name "Fruit Apple", "Fruit Orange", etc.   Why is this idea important?    This would help keep information, rather than deleting it, creating predictable output tables names for calling later in scripting for further processing.   ...

Some data files we use that are generated by some equipment unfortunately saves the output using "tab" to make the formatting look nice when printed. Unfortunately, sometimes there's one tab, and sometimes there's two tabs, depending on the width of the contents of the field. For example: Row     Value1      Value2 1       1.2         6.2 2       12.5234213  1.2 3       0.1         2.2342 And in this contrived example, those spaces are defined with tabs. I'll type "\t" for each tab... Row\tValue1\t\tValue2 1\t1.2\t\t6.2 2\t12.5234213\t1.2 3\t0.1\t\t2.2342   So JMP has no way to import that data directly with each value in the correct column. As a fix, I used Multiple File Import, imported Row Per Line strings, and used column formulas such as this: cdt << New Column( "Gas1", Numeric, Formula( Word( 2, Regex( :Text, "[\s]", " ", GLOBALREPLACE ) ) ) ); But Excel has a "treat consecutive delimiters as one" in their import Wizard. If we agree that JMP is better than Excel, JMP should have this option, too! ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  I have to add in grid lines for the Y axis on basically every graph as well as change the grid line spacing as well as having to change the preference of marker selection to make it show up better since I can only choose one type at a time   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see 1. That I can select to always have Y axis grid lines separate from X axis grid lines.  Right now the preference option only allows you to set both as always on or off. 2. Allows the grid line spacing to be set as a % of the range of data values (would be another option in the STYLES preference menu 3. Allow the selection of multiple selected marker type (such as fade and enlarge or enlarge and color) 4. For the short cut options in the right clicking of a chart and the selection mode type, allow the % faded and the color to be entered as well vs having to go back to the main preference menu.   Why is this idea important?  You make a LOT of graphs in JMP so being able to efficiently make them is a huge value add.  These options would reduce the time you have to go into menus to get the set up you need.   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  In a decision tree, one can use the Select Rows option under each red triangle to select the rows that correspond to the leaf of the decision tree. And by doing so, the corresponding rows are selected in all open plots. Very convenient! https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Highlighting-in-a-Decision-Tree/m-p/624915/highlight/true#M82365       How about the reverse thing: A user selects some data points in a plot and then the rows show up in the decision tree. Highlighting in a Decision Tree?    Seems that this is not possible yet -therefore  @Jed_Campbell suggested to write a wish list entry: https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Highlighting-in-a-Decision-Tree/m-p/625000/highlight/true#M82383      What is the improvement you would like to see?  If a user selects some rows or data points in a plot, the %fraction should be highlighted in the decision tree (bottom right) - similar to the %filling of the Histogram Plot (bottom left)       Why is this idea important?  The highlighting features in Jmp are very powerful, they help a lot during exploratory data analysis. A similar highlighting function for the decision tree could help.         more wishes submitted by   ... View more

Suggestion: Build in a toggle switch to the profiler allowing you to turn confidence and prediction (i.e. individual conf) intervals on and off. Add a window to set the alpha criteria and highlight 0.05 as the default. ... View more

Based on details in the discussion below, this idea is amended to request that a "Source" or "Make Combined Data Table" script be written to the table resulting from Make Combined Data Table in a report when there is a By column/variable.   ---------------------------------------------   "Make Combined Data Table" is one of JMP's most powerful features, yet one of its most challenging to script. No matter how many times I use this feature when exploring my data, I nearly always fail repeatedly when I try to incorporate it into a longer JMP-scripted data analytical pipeline. (I suspect I'm not the only one who has pinged support@jmp.com repeatedly on this same issue.)   When users run any of the platforms accessible from the Table menu the table that gets created is automatically created with a "Source" script that can be copied and pasted into a larger script in such a way that only minor and relatively obvious tweaking is needed to get the table script working in its new context. Yet when users request "Make Combined Data Table", usually no source script gets written automatically to the newly created table. This seems like a glaring and important gap in JMP's feature set that I hope can be filled with the next release.   Intriguingly, when users request "Make Combined Data Table" for a report table that occurs only once within the report, a script called "Make Combined Data Table" is in fact saved to the data table. But it is relatively non-obvious (to me) what kind of tweaking is needed to adapt the saved script to the situation where there are actually multiple tables that I very much need to combine.   I suspect there are many of us who would benefit if a functioning "Source" script were automatically saved to the newly created table every time "Make Combined Data Table" is requested -- especially when there are actually multiple tables to combine. ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Process characterization reports often include prediction formulas and simulations.      What is the improvement you would like to see? Option to include prediction formulas in the easy DOE report export. Also would like to be able to export models/prediction and PredSE formulas to a jmp table from the easyDOE.   Why is this idea important? Because models made by an easyDOE user may need more exploration by advanced users. For example, comparing an easyDOE model to one made a different way, simulations, simple plots against data, etc. Typing prediction formulas with lots of factors is other non-trivial.      ...

Status Quo: Questions while comparing means in the Fit Y by X platform (Oneway analysis): Which test do I pick for my data? What are the conditions that have to be fulfilled to use the test? Idea of the wizard: Overview over all tests with some little hints Picking several tests and see the results in the same window, side by side Additional to the tables and evaluations: short conclusion (“Means of Group A and Group B are / are not significantly different from each other”) or hint (“p-value is x which means the means are / are not significantly different from each other”) Why is this idea important: Helps to see all the opportunities and not always sticking to (maybe in some case a false!) test All tests in one platform ...

Hello,   I would like to request a function to be added to the Rows menu to delete duplicate rows based on a matching cell except for the first (or selected) one. Currently, one has to first select matching cells, unselect the first occurence, and then delete the remaining. In a large dataset with several unique sets of duplicates, this can be extremely cumbersome.   Thanks and regards Mehul Shroff ... View more

My chemist collected MSA data using mostly his standard data collection process. The correct and logical model using Fit Model would be: Product Date[Product] & Random Repeat[Product,Date] &Random   My chemist would really like to use one of the regular MSA platforms. But the nested models for them do not allow Date to be nested within Product.   Product should be a fixed factor. It is not a Part in the classical sense.   If I give into my chemist's demands and give him a regular MSA JMP platform result, the calculated metrics are wrong.   I would like the model choices available for the MSA platform to be more flexible. Allow for a fixed term that is not the classical "Part." Allow for more combinations of fixed and random terms in the model beyond just 3. This is a very simple example, but most real examples in my industry have (or should have!) more than 3 factors.   If the correct model was more often available in regular JMP MSA platforms, I could move my chemists and engineers away from Excel templates using the range method. Please, anything to get them away from that! ... View more

I'd like to suggest the following for equivalence testing and practical difference testing: Add a column property for practical difference limits.  This will be reference whenever an equivalence test is done in Distribution, Fit Y by X, and Response Screener In Distribution, Fit Y by X, and Fit Model, add in a report out option for practical significance.  This would be in line with the report out options you can get from Response Screener -> save compare means. I'd also like to see equivalency testing and practical difference testing for Stdev's (variances would be fine as well)   ... View more

I'm often asked whether it's possible to make boxplot widths in Graph Builder proportional to group size, and I think this would be a very useful option.   In Fit Y by X this works by using a proportional X axis. Since JMP 14 it's also possible to indicate group sizes by using Caption Box with Per Factor, which is great, but proportional widths would make differences more obvious.   ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  I got a lot of support from JMP team, especially from Jed.  I would like to suggest JMP to support control chart to embedded in the email with alarm script directly.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Currently the email alarm script not support the chart embedded in the email, alarm script support the substitue, QC test, attached file. However, we would like to have chart to show in email directly to make people easy to read the email.   Why is this idea important?  For the SPC alarm that we would people to aware of the QC item/ QC device/ QC lot immediately instead of people need to open the file. With the purpose of user friendly, I hope JMP can consider to have this function to embedded control chart directly in email.   Thanks.   ... View more

It is important to distinguish between a zero value and a missing value. However, if you label a bar chart in Graph Builder with values and the value is zero, then the label does not display. The reader of the chart no longer knows if it was a recorded zero or a missing value.   There seems to be no way to force the 0 label onto the chart. Trying to make the value non-zero (i.e. 0.00001) just makes the label show the value - you cannot change the numeric detail of the label (which is a problem already noted: https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/How-to-change-number-of-decimal-places-in-Bar-chart-labels-Label/m-p/213673#M42741)   A solution already shown for zero values ( https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Show-zero-percent-in-bar-chart/m-p/208592) seems to only work for percentages, which my dataset does not have. ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Even though various platforms (Fit Y by X Group->OneWay) have many options in File->Preferences->Platforms, there will always be some additional features users want (or default features users want to have removed).  A post-generation script preference would allow for arbitrary customization (anything that can be scripted) by the user.   What is the improvement you would like to see?    In File->Preferences->Platforms->{any platform} please add a "post-generation script" feature (text/script box, or pointer to script file).  For each instance of the platform executed, a reference to the instantiated platform object would be passed (or be made available via default variable) to this script.  The end-user can put whatever they need into this script to customize the platform (or take other related actions).   Why is this idea important?    In JMP 17.0 (and other versions) certain platform features have been introduced "by default" with no way for the user to control them.  And, there was no platform preferences setting to control the feature.  The response from JMP support was "here is a script which can be run against the platform after it is generated, which will make it behave the way you want".  The only problem was that there was no way for the user to have it automatically run, other than to re-script all of their workflows (assuming that their workflows were scripted in the first place, which they were not).   In addition to this 'platform post-generation script' (needs a better name?) feature allowing users to affect/revert platform default behaviours, it will also open the door for some VERY interesting additional user interactions and usage of JMP as a multi-tiered analysis solution. ...

it should be possible (like minitab) to set the preferences for a graph with footnotes.   Projekt Name, (Worksheet), Date, Time, Open Text   as footnote on every graph as a requirement from quality standard. So you can find from which file, which sheet, date and the owner who crated the graph.   (that's also why subset should be handled in worksheets within the project and not as new table, outside) All browsers and programs changed from new windows to tabulated screen, within one programm).     ...
