JMP Wish List

Hi, I think it would be a terrific idea to enable the option to turn on sample size (n) within Least Square Means Tables within the Fit Model Platform, particularly for cases of retrospective data analysis where sample sizes are often unbalanced across groups.  The reason being is that the platform frustratingly shows you the total sample size for the model, but doesn't show you how many samples belong to each respective variable you are testing.     Also, while the LS Means Plots are an excellent visualization tool for comparing the LS means by group, they can be somewhat misleading to the statistically naive because they don't illustrate where the individual data values are located in relation to the mean location and LS mean error bars.  For this I would recommend allowing the user to turn on the points as an overlay to the current Least Square Means Plot.     ...

  The MaxDiff DOE tool currently generates a basic randomization.  However, it does not provide the important next step that sensory and consumer research practitioners require which is the expansion of the basic design  to be replicated for many test subjects and then to randomize the order blocks.   It seems this capability is already available in other DOE tools such as the Custom Design int the baked in routine called, "Design Generation".   The output should look exactly as it does in the JMP example file called, "Candy Survey" that is, without the raw data collected in the column titled "Choice".    The pain point for researchers is that to use the JMP tool as currently configured, one would have to take the individual design and manually seed it and then randomize many times.  Our tests often contain between 40 and 120 test subjects and sometimes more!  So the current configuration is not helpful.   Please consider bringing the "Data Generation" option into the MaxDiff DOE.        ...

I often need to ftp/sftp files from different locations.  Currently this is possible through Run Program(), but there are lots of challenges to this approach.  One of the biggest issues is there's very limited support to error check through the Run Program wrapper, say if a file hangs mid transport.  FTP can be tricky and a native FTP support would be a blessing.  Some common problems that it could provide: certificate acceptance on first connection, terminal set up, public key authentication, ect. (there's a mutlitude of log in problems).  It would also be convient to both pass commands and wait for prompts. ... View more

When I make a CV Column with Summary   Names default to here(1); dt = open("$SAMPLE_DATA\Big Class.jmp"); dt_sum = dt << Summary( Group( :age ), Mean( :height ), Std Dev( :height ), CV( :height ), Freq( "None" ), Weight( "None" ), output table name( "Summary" ) ); The Column is already multiplied by 100 to make it a percent. So if I try to make it a percent format I have to first divide by 100.  I think it would make more sense and be more intuitive if it wasn't multiplied by 100 but just formatted to be a percentage.  That way the percent sign is there and it seems more intuitituve to me.  This is probably a thing that goes deeper than summary, and this may cause problems. ...

The Manage Spec Limits menu is great to read in lots of spec limits and store them in column properties. I would like the same to be possible for units in one Manage Spec Limits and Units tool.   Units are often missing in graphs, one reason being that it can be a nuisance to enter them by hand. In JMP, there are a few situations where unit handling could be expanded:   https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Wish-List/quot-Units-quot-field-in-DOE-platform-to-be-written-into-column/idi-p/51071 https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Wish-List/Specification-of-where-to-find-Units-in-Excel-Import-Wizard/idi-p/51106 https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Wish-List/Make-Column-Properties-accessible-from-within-Graph-Builder-and/idi-p/51076 ...

In Graph Builder charts I frequently place text box annotations on top of the charts.  When I add more charts, change the scale, or resize anything, I notice the annotation moves around and resizes itself automatically to try to stay where it thinks I want it to be.  But I find that the annotation never ends up where I want it, so I have to go move it again manually anyway.  Also, when the annotation text box resizes itself, it sometimes shrinks to a tiny sliver.  The text is still visible, but it is impossible to click on it to resize it or delete it.   I think the Text Box feature needs to be fixed so it never allows the text box to be shrunk to zero width or height.  I would consider this a bug.  After this happens it becomes impossible to change or remove the text boxes using the GUI; you basically have to start over and rebuild the graph.  Of course, you always can "save script to data table" and then edit the script to remove the offending text boxes, but this is not very user-friendly.   It would also be nice if we had an option to lock the size and position of a text box (or line, shape, etc...) so it does not move or resize with the chart underneath it. ...

After setting up a (more or less nested) local datafilter submenu in Graph Builder this ist locked to the upper left corner which is fine so far. In the case that a multilevel categorical variable is selected for the "page"-functionality, several subplots are created. Depending on the number of subplots and the individual plot size one has to scroll down to investigate each subplot. By doing so the submenue for the defined local datafilter dissapears from the screen. As it is not verry convenient to keep on scrolling up and down to make changes in the local datafilter in order to see the changes in the subplot of interrest, I would apprechiate a kind of automatically movable local datafilter submenue. ...

What inspired this wish list request?    JMP's own context menu for a tablebox knows what column you clicked over and offers some column-specific options.    I find that I sometimes want to prevent users from accessing some of the things on the built-in context menu. (I'm making a custom application or UI and don't want them to be able to make certain changes, etc. )   Or there are other cases where the context menu would be a nice place to put a custom script, and to do that I can't just add to that menu I have to replace it with <<Set Context Menu Script, and so I want to replicate some of the built-in features some of which can't be replicated currently.  Or I might want to make a custom script that is column-specific and that is not possible currently.   What is the improvement you would like to see?    << SetContextMenuScript for a TreeBox has a callback function letting you refer easily to "thistree" and "thisnode" in the script. So, it would be great if the one for TableBox could have a callback function with thistable and thiscolumn.   Why is this idea important?    It's possible, but fiddly, currently to have the scripts refer to "this table", so thistable callback would be a convenience.   It's not possible to know what column the user clicked over at all in JSL.  I'm told the tablebox object does not currently receive that info at all so this would be difficult, but in the below Support Ticket conversion I was encouraged to make a wish anyway in case some thought would lead to a good/easy way to do this.  Anyway, it would mean you could write your own scripts for the context menu that are column-specific, not just table-specific, something you can't do today.     ...

☐ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☐ removes a bug ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it     What inspired this wish list request?  an amazingly useful function in JMP: << get script() It separates experienced users from beginners: A pro user creates a dummy item, uses the properties to adjust and fine tune it and then he uses << get script() in a JSL editor to get all the settings.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  In the properties menu, please add a get script button. It acts like the copy button for the  Box Path , but for the script.     Why is this idea important?  Copy - Box Path was introduced in JMP17 - and it was a huge step to facilitate the communication with display boxed. Copy - Script will be a huge step to facilitate the formatting of display boxes     other wishes from    ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  I am analyzing data for an engineer in which part of the data is below the detection limit, which is good. I want to include that data in the results. The data is a batch process, and the batch should be included in the model as a random term.   I tried using GenReg (which accepts interval censored data), but it would not allow the random term in the model. I tried using Standard Least Squares, but it would not acknowledge the interval censored data. I tried using Generalized Linear Mixed Model, but it would not acknowledge the interval censored data.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like a modeling platform that allows random terms in the model, and interval censored responses.   Why is this idea important?  This would allow me to build models for my engineers that do not have glaring problems or missing data.   ...

What inspired this wish list request? I was using the simulator platform in the Profiler to run a simulation experiment and I needed to change a bunch of the factors to normal truncated.  This took a lot longer than it should have as I had to change each manually.   What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like to see the ability to set the distribution types and the Distibution parameters from a reference data table.     Why is this idea important? For more complicated column types in the Simulate model or for trying to experiment quickly with different process factor behaviors this will greatly increase user speed and platform ease.     ...

What inspired this wish list request?    When evaluating the ratio of two data sets, for example, product 1 and product 2, the most well accepted method for determining the confidence interval of this ration is Fieller's method/theorem.

☐ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☐ removes a bug ☑ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  Hover labels are the icing on the Graph Builder cake - if (!) a users knows how to adjust the settings to show the information he wants.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please guide the user and make it easier to add new entries to a hover label. e.g.  - a column filter to select the new entry   - a toggle box to switch between "all selected entries" and [local:_firstrow]   - any additional helper boxes which could facilitate the work with Hover Label Editor?   Under the line: make it as easy to add new information to a hover label as it is to remove an entry: - select the entry on the left. - in the "delete" tab, click on "Add"  -> the label will be removed   Why is this idea important?  Hover Labels are very versatile - but just a few users use them beyond the default settings. Making it easier to edit the hover label settings will make this cool feature accessible to everybody.   other wishes from  ... View more
