JMP Wish List

When creating a DoE setup, I often color the cells based on high/low/center level settings to highlight the system of the overall design. I have used the 'Value Color' column property to do so. @jthi automated the process of coloring the selected columns by the script given in this community post: https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Script-to-color-cells-in-a-DoE-setup/m-p/585788#M79141 Could a script like this be a default one with all DoE created in JMP? I believe that many DoE users would benefit from having this at hand when evaluating and comparing designs. ... View more

Activity Recorder is great tool in JMP to quickly automate simple processes. I feel like it should be able to combine different actions into one, currently depending on how you perform actions it creates longer scripts than necessary (these can also make scripts a bit less robust). Below is an example using Big Class with a quick way to create new formula column in JMP (very simple example): Double click to "free" header to create new column (Often we might even have additional step here, which is just renaming the column) Double click on the new column, rename it and set formula column property My enhanced log without the second step: // New column: Column 6 Data Table("Big Class") << New Column("Column 6", Numeric, "Continuous", Format("Best", 12) ); // Change column info: NewCol Data Table("Big Class"):Column 6 << Set Name("NewCol") << Set Formula(:height * :weight); What I would like the Action Recorder be able to do is to combine these into single step which would look something like this // New column: NewCol Data Table("Big Class") << New Column("NewCol", Numeric, "Continuous", Format("Best", 12), Formula(:height * :weight) ); I can already get this but I have to use different method for column creation. Right Click on free column header and select New Columns and fill the required information. In this case we will get much cleaner script: // New column: NewCol2 Data Table("Big Class") << New Column("NewCol2", Numeric, "Continuous", Format("Best", 12), Formula(:height * :weight) ); Though this option won't let me insert columns between other columns.   There are most likely also other places where it would be helpful if Action Recorder could combine different steps. ...

Currently if you want to add column to a function used in Formula Editor you have to either Drag and drop the column to correct place Select the place you want to add the column into and then double click the column to add it Open the formula as JSL script and write the column reference My suggestion is that new option should be added: right click selection for the columns (in best case only valid columns would be showed in the list). Right click menu would make it easier and faster to add new columns to functions, especially when you are writing more complicated ones / want to edit formulas.   JMP does already offer quite a few options in the right-click menu for Formula Editor, but I think column selection would fit there within the first "block".

What inspired this wish list request? Often I want to get the quick value of a slope from some portion of a curve over time and I either need to exclude all the un-interesting areas and then fit a regression line to it or use the ruler and do some hand calculations on the side with my trusty Ti-82. What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like to see in the output of the ruler, a slope calculation when both the X and Y axis are continuous. Side note, it would be nice if the line length value matched the decimals of the dy and dx values) Why is this idea important? We evaluate lots of process curves over time from all across our value stream: from evaluating that we met some rate so that a part can be released to when investigating defects and overlaying curves being able to quickly calculate what rates good parts have and what rates bad parts. Being able to do this quickly will save us a lot of time and effort. As our amount of functional data grows this will be that much more important. Thanks for considering. Steve ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  The old Multivariate Control Chart platform implements a Change Point Detection, but that platform has been deprecated in JMP 17. A paper at Discovery this year showed how useful this functionality can be.      What is the improvement you would like to see?     Preserve the changepoint detection calculations somewhere in JMP, either in JSL or the new Model Driven Multivariate platform, etc.   Why is this idea important?  This would preserve existing functionality, even if it becomes less visible (i.e. by making it a JSL only option).     ...

Problem When JMP imports data, e.g., a CSV or an XLSX file, JMP guesses the appropriate Data Type and Modeling Type for each Column. This guess is helpful but is not (cannot be) perfect for every scenario. When a large table, e.g., one with hundreds of Columns, is imported, subtle imperfection of the guessing may lead to a lot of repetitive manual work afterwords. Specifically, JMP treats all Numeric Columns as Continuous.   Suggestion I believe many users will benefit if some simple rule-based branching is added here. A specific example of such rules can be adding an option to treat Columns which contains only integers contains only a small number, e.g, 10 or less, of unique values as Nominal.   I believe this applies to all recent versions, e.g., 14, 15, 16, and 17. ...

Hello,   Is there a suitable metric that can be added for measuring auto-correlation of independent variables for Fit Parametric Survival, analogous to VIF for Fit Model? I know that VIF is based on linear regression (i.e., R^2) so may not directly be applicable for Fit Parametric Survival. However, is there a different way to measure auto-correlation among the independent variables used in Fit Parametric Survival?   Regards Mehul Shroff ... View more

Hello, Can the features to make report outputs into data tables (single or combined) be enhanced to create a single, merged data table (with appropriate formatting) for all blocks in the report?

Hello,   Can a feature be added to data tables to show column filters, similar to what Excel has? This would be mainly for visualization of the data. I know that this can essentially be done for analysis by using Rows -> Data Filter but that's for analysis and doesn't change the column view.   Regards Mehul Shroff ... View more

Hello,   The Fit Y by X Bivariate (and by extension, Fit Model) platform currently does not have the ability to send the fit equation (aka, prediction expression in Fit Model) to a data table. IOW, when right-clicking on the equation, the menu does not have commands for Make Data Table or Make Combined Data Table, which are available for the other blocks.   It would be helpful to add this feature to be able to summarize the equations into a table. When several similar reports are generated (e.g., with the use of By variables or when there are multiple X or Y variables), it's not feasible to copy/paste or manually type them into a spreadsheet.   Regards Mehul Shroff ...

☐ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☐ feels like a „bug“ ☑ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   Surprising, especially for new users of Jmp: A local data filter doesn't exclude items, which are already excluded by a global data filter. Data Filter: exclude excluded rows    For users who work with Jmp for many years, this can be a quite logical thing. But if you think about it objectively, it's completely unnecessary, right? So, why?!    In the example from the link above, a data filter which could look like this actually looks like this (excluded, unnecessary items marked red): A user who selects age = 13, 15,17 will not see any update in the graph; could be that he wonders what's wrong.   There is a functionality to exclude data from a graph - why not use the same functionality to exclude the items from the data filter lists? It's already possible to apply such an exclusion manually, bu "conditional" data filters and an additional column with formula excluded(). But this requires some effort.   My proposal: a checkbox in the context menu of the local data filter: don't show data points which are excluded by the global data filter  Then the user can decide if he wants that excluded rows are listed in the data filter (checkmark = 0) or if they should be removed (1) ...   Hm .. actually I can't think of any application case where a user intentionally decides to get excluded items listed. But definitely, there will be some special cases ... Can anybody give an example?         more wishes submitted by   ... View more

☑ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☐ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   Add polar plot as an option to GraphBuilder.   many other plotting tools have such an option: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/creating_plots/plotting-in-polar-coordinates.html https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/PolarPlot.html   To keep the GraphBuilder Interface as it is, one could "hide" the polar plot mode under Scale Type - similar to Geodesic, where an even more complicated projection is used to convert the coordinates to x/y values.   The idea: The user selects R and Phi values for the X and Y axis and selects polar plot in one of the Scale Type menus (the other Scale Type is changed automaticaly). As a result, the values are converted to x/y coordinates and a polar grid is used.   Alternative - if this is not possible: The user directly loads x/y coordinates and selecting polar plot from the Scale Type menu. This changes the grid to r/phi. Difficulty: how to define the major/minor grid steps?               more wishes submitted by   ... View more

☐ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☑ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   At the moment, a data table object is removed from Application Builder as soon as the user closes the corresponding data table. This destroys all links to the data table (plots, column list boxes, data filters ...), leading to a non-functional Application. If the user doesn't notice the problem and saves the Application, the file gets useless:      Workaround for users who already lost an application: Don't use Application Builder. Apply extreme care, when an application is opened in edit mode: First save and close the application, then close the data table if the user detects that "it happened again" before he closes the application, he can recover/keep the structure by adding a new data table before saving :)   My wish:  Please protect the user from this problem. Options: If a user closes a data table and the data table is used in an application, please display a warning message asking the user if he really wants to close the data table - as this will destroy the application. Keep the structure in the application as it is (even with closed data table) if the user wants to continue editing the application, Jmp can ask the user if it's OK to open the data table again.     https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Collection-of-quot-funny-quot-JSL-newbie-questions/m-p/580077/highlight/true#M78727   ...

As a code editor JMP's Script Editor is lacking quite a many features, one of them are some fairly basic shortcuts which make writing scripts much faster (and easier when you get used to them) and the shortcuts should mostly work without using mouse. Below are just few of the suggestions that come quickly to my mind (the shortcuts for all of these should be easy for user to configure): Open search bar for Scripting Index This should open similar search window as Quick Open does Open scripting index for current function, this has already been suggested but closed as delivered, BUT this new shortcut requires usage of mouse. Cut Line Copy Line Move Line up/down Copy line up/down Auto-complete variable names (might be already suggested) Either in similar manner as valid commands works currently (Ctrl+Space) Or offer suggestions and user can fill them by pressing Enter This could be expanded to functions in a similar manner as SAS in which you can control how it works through preferences These kinda already exist but have been split into two different shortcuts instead of toggle. I have no idea though how to use these with my keyboard or how to set them in JMP Menu Editor as I don't know the Built-in command for these and they aren't visible (do I have to build them by using Main Menu("")?)
