JMP Wish List

It is sometimes safer to parse dates using a new column instead of changing the value in-place using an input format.  See discussion at Tricks to prevent incorrect input date formats from resulting in missing values?. Adding an option in the new formula column to parse that date using a format specified by the user would make this easier. ... View more

It would be good if JMP has the option to go ‘Back’ in the Create Web Report dialogue box. On top of that, it will save a lot of users’ time if the dialogue box is kept open after the user has clicked on the ‘Build Report’ button. In JMP (13.0), I had to Create Web Report from scratch 4-5 times because I wanted to change something when the Web Report was displayed in the browser, but there was no way to go back and modify it, except to start it from scratch which I did. ...

I'm loving new custom function in JMP 14.  It's real useful.  There are some things I'd like to see added to it.   Parameter and Result Type, currently only allow "Any, Name, Number, String, List, Matrix, RowState".  I'd love it if it could be any existing data type,  data table, Expression, function(for wrappers), class(for custructors), associative array,      ...

It would be great to have an optional VI/VIM editing mode inside the JSL editor. Doesn't necessarily need to have all the VIM bells and whistles -- just the command and insert modes, keystrokes and basic operations, and macros. On a number of occasions I've found myself pasting script code into a GVIM window to manipulate the text, then pasting back to JSL. I'm sure EMACS users would be interested in a similar editing mode. ... View more

For the interactive Capability Plot, it'd be great to show Expected % Out of Spec also. The Expected PPM may be useful for some, but for most people this is a value that needs re-calculation back to a real world metric, i.e. percentage.   ... View more

Hello! I would love to have a customizable summary statistics in the graph builder. Basically the same function which is already available for the distributions. In the graph builder you can only chose a fixed 5 number summary. For distributions it is customizable.   Thanks! Ben         ... View more

It would be great if users could download a data table from a JMP public dashboard as a .csv file. This could expand the number of applications that could be posted to JMP Public. For example, I'm publishing a paper in an open source journal that has a requirement that I make my data publicly available. They do not consider this condition met if users can only download a .jmp file, since JMP is a subscription service.  ... View more

Didn't receive any ideas if this is yet possible with JMP (Scaling Map Shape axis when missing part of the data ) so I'm creating suggestion to Wish list: Add new option when using Map Shapes to allow scaling based on the complete Map Shape found in map file. Currently even if you choose Show Missing Shapes the graph won't be scaled to show the whole map. Most likely best option would be to add additional option and not forcing it with Show Missing Shapes.   Adding same example as in the Scaling Map Shape axis when missing part of the data. First graph has map when all except one value is hidden and excluded, in second one the map is first created, then axes locked to force scaling and then data is excluded:   Names Default To Here(1); dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/World Demographics.jmp"); dt << Select Where(:Territory == "United States"); dt << Invert Row Selection; dt << Hide and Exclude(1); gbExclude = dt << Graph Builder( Size(534, 456), Show Control Panel(0), Variables(Shape(:Territory)), Elements(Map Shapes(Legend(4), Show Missing Shapes(1))) ); gbExclude << title("I don't want always this"); repExclude = ReporT(gbExclude); dt << Hide and Exclude(0); gb = dt << Graph Builder( Size(534, 456), Show Control Panel(0), Lock Scales(1), Variables(Shape(:Territory)), Elements(Map Shapes(Legend(4), Show Missing Shapes(1))), SendToReport( Dispatch( {}, "", ScaleBox, {Format("Longitude DDD", "PUNDIR", 14, 0), Min(-180.310158563482), Max(180.311408237786), Inc(50), Minor Ticks(0)} ), Dispatch( {}, "", ScaleBox(2), {Format("Latitude DDD", "PUNDIR", 14, 0), Min(-156.734601885074), Max(144.680439023449), Inc(50), Minor Ticks(1)} ) ) ); dt << Hide and Exclude(1); gb << title("I want to be able to do this (with option)"); repGb = Report(gb); nw = new window("", v list box( repExclude, repGb ) ); gbExclude << Close window; gb << Close window; nw << on close(close(dt, no save));     ...

Since JMP 16, either the normal and pro versions, the menu option for cross-validation is gone! To use cross-validation with decision trees, you need to use the Model Screening platform (new in JMP Pro only), and you can't modify any tree building option in there. This is more a downgrade than an upgrade! It was very convenient to have cross-validation along with all other options in a self-contained analysis platform.... Please bring it back! ... View more

According to a Stack Overflow post, the maximum line length in SQL Server Management Studio is "65536*Network Packet Size - which by default is around 1500 bytes." When recently exporting SQL scoring code through the Formula Depot in JMP Pro for a Bootstrap Forest model the code was formatted as only three lines of incredible length. SQL Server couldn't even parse the code and simply paging down in the code became a time consuming process. When copied into Word, the document was >2,000 pages long!   This could be avoided by either A) fully parsing the code with line breaks and indentation using common best practices or B) adding line breaks every so often into the generated code at a few logical points such as at the start of each new CASE statement with a rule to force in a break before the limit is reached.  ...

In Graph Builder the axes can be scaled as linear, log, power, probability, etc.  (which is great, BTW!)  Can you add the option to scale as "inverse,"  that is, 1/x or 1/Y? I tried using power and setting the parameter to -1 but this doesn't appear to work.  No scripting please. ... View more

//Section // this part is section 1 any script = {1,2,3} /* if I am on this section, only this piece fo code would be executed */ //Section // this part is section 2 another piece of code << get me a break into sections' command! /* if I am on this section, only this piece fo code would be executed */ Hi, I frequently use JSL to automate data processing and reporting and it would handy if there would be a "key string" for example "//Section" that would allow me to break a code in different parts. What is the benefit? If we are allowed to create this "sections" (or "cells" if you prefer that name), it would be much easier to execute parts of a code during the code development and/or testing, or I only want to run a specific section for reason X. This section break would avoid the annoying task of highlighting the part of the code I want to run. That would also mean that a command to only run the "current section"  is needed. Thanks! ...

I suggest that the output for regression include options for the Johnson-Neyman regions of significance—i.e., floodlight analysis (i.e., at and above/below what value of the moderator is the difference between levels of the independent variable significant). In addition, I suggest including options for spotlight ananyses, based on regions defined by the user (e.g., significance at +-1 SD from the mean of the moderator or at a particular value of the moderator).      ...

Certain very simplistic things are missing in the JMp platform (1) JMP cannot do propensity score matching (2) JMP does not calculate Cramer's V or Cohan's D for effect size calculation (3) JMP cannot do multiple imputation for categorical variables (only does informative missing option) (4) JMP does not allow random effects in logistic regression models I may be mistaken in some of these. But I have asked this question in the discussion forums and as far as I can tell are accurate. Some of these are real bummer's ... View more

I would like to see the Row State column to have multiple row state settings available at the same time.  Such that Platforms that are run against the data table would be allowed to select which row state copy it should use.   Use Cases Open the Big Class data table, run twice Bivariate using height by weight.  Color the data points in one chart based upon row state colors based on Sex, and the colors in the second Bivariate based upon the second row state settings where the colors are based upon age. Open multiple platforms.  Set different platforms to different row state versions.  Change the selections in a particular platform changes the display in only the platforms that have been set to use the same row state version. Open the Subset platform, and select which row state version to use for the selection of the rows to be copied to the new data table.  The Link To Original needs to honor which row state version is associated to the selection when the subset was created. ...

I would like to see some improvements in the add-in builder.  I consistently want to use a main menu item to store all the add-ins I create for my group, rather than have the addins show up in the default "Addins" menu.  As an example, I have several script that I like to use routinely and also share them with my team.  I want to have a menu item on the main menu called "Team Tools", and then all of my shared addins will go there.     Currently, the way I do that is either to go through the steps described here , or is just manuallly create the JMPCUST file to create the addin menu item.  The XML structure to do this is not documented in the JMP help or books, so you have to reverse engineer the syntax or just create examplars and re-use them as templates.  What I would like to see is the ability in the add-in builder to create custom menu with all the flexibility that exists in the menu customization tool accessible by right clicking the menu.     Finally, if the XML specification for the menu structure could be better documented, I think that would also help with building JMP addins and other menu customizations.       ...

It would be great if labels in Graph Builder could be more easily aligned, e.g. by a right-click -> Align Labels, or Align Selected Labels (alongside an invisible vertical or horizontal axis). If something like this already exists, please give me a hint...   I often label e.g. two-dimensional outliers by their serial number, align labels to make them readable, resize the graph at some point, and then have to start over again (see the Hollywood Movies example below).   Maybe it could be possible to group selected labels (e.g. after alignment) and then move them around as one group of labels. Or maybe after alignment, labels could be allocated their X and Y coordinates at that moment, and when resizing the graph, only font sizes for labels are adjusted for readability, but labels remain at their coordinates.   ...
