What inspired this wish list request?  I want to automate the saving of Animated GIF for my dashboard. Currently, I can click the animation control to play, record & save as animated GIF by using hand. Log and workbuilder did not record the steps done with animation control (i.e Run > Record > Save as GIF).   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Record step taken in animation control in Log & Workbuilder. https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/How-to-save-Dashboard-to-run-animation-gif-through-JSL/m-p/716958#M89863    Why is this idea important?  Currently, 2 weeks to get the correct JSL syntax, just to be able to "Click" play button in the animation control . Save time (since user would never guess "Run", "Go", "Set", "Click" actually are used differently in JSL).   Thank you ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  Preview for functions under the Tables menu is very useful to check the correct manipulations have been performed.  However, the generation of the preview table can take considerable time if the data tables involved are large.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Preference setting to allow for the table preview and table preview auto refresh to be disabled by default.   Why is this idea important?  Saves processing time for the user.   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Simplicity and efficiency of process screening platform compared to measurement system analysis.   In my earlier positions I was used to running measurement system analysis using more or less complicated macros (minitab) or more or less complicated scripts (jmp). JMP does offer easy way run MSA but to get usable report you have to do more work and if you wish to analyse results further, it is even more work.    What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like to have MSA platform which is similar to Process Screening. User would determine on launch of the platform what to calculate and how to get limits (use limits table/use limit columns in same table/use column properties) and so on... Then when user presses OK, it will create similar table as we can see in Process Screening, lots of information, fairly easy to sort, we can select rows and perform extra actions, we can add more columns to result table and so on...    Why is this idea important? Makes the calculation of MSA / gage easier for multiple parameters and makes analysing results from that single result table possible.       I can provide some ideas and mock-ups what could be included but it will take me multiple hours of work so I would rather first hear is there any point in this request. ...

What inspired this wish list request? We are working a lot with Tables menu (join, update, concatenate...) and we need to write some jsl to do what we have to do and we are thinking that performances will be better if these features could be jmp natives.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Update (data type): when we want to update table01 with table02 data, we have to check the data type. If the targeted column on table01 is defined as  numeric, this one can not be update if source column of table02 is defined as character. Update (insert new row) : Could it be possible to add an option in the update plateform to have a way to make a concatenate operation only on rows thats are in the table02 but not in table01 (based on matching column key).     Why is this idea important?  time saving better performance easier data handling operation   Thanks Guillaume   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Presently, the Stability feature only addresses FIXED BATCHES of a stability product only.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  This will allow re-estimation of a shelf-life when additional stability data of more batches of a product are generated and having the shelf-life based on a random number of batches.   If I am contacted, I can forward some articles recommending the model of random intercepts and random slopes. Why is this idea important?  Once more data are accessible, a more realistic shelf-life can be determined for all future batches produced.   ... View more

What inspired this wish list request? I use the tree map as a the base graph to report out a dashboard of summary statistics for multiple areas in my plant.  The current squarify option leaves some "boxes" almost useless.   What is the improvement you would like to see? I'd like to see a "forced square" option in the Layout drop down menu that would make the boxes all the same size, which could mean that there are blank boxes if there are not enough categories to fit a even row/column matrix.  Ideally every box would look like chem mill stacked or heat query stacked.  You can see on dry times stacked that there is one long and skinny box that is hard to see.         Why is this idea important? Dashboards are becoming key tools for conveying operational status quickly so charts that are easy to see all the elements are vital.  This is also critical as we move to JMP live as dashboard style graphics are a main reason for the move.     ...

What inspired this wish list request? When selecting a subset of the candidate set, I needed to select a few runs to force in. I needed a column telling me the run order from the candidate set to guide me.     What is the improvement you would like to see? Add a column of run number from the candidate set as I am choosing runs to force into the new design.     Why is this idea important? Efficiency and avoid errors.     ...

What inspired this wish list request?  In my research I often have to compare different experimental conditions for their proportions (mortality for instance). I can perform a chi square test with the Y by X plateform with the Treatments in the X, the parameter in the Y (living vs dead) and the count as Freq. I obtain a global p-value but then I can't discriminate treatments.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to have a post hoc procedure to hava a multiple two-samples proportions test in order to test all pairs along with a connecting letters report. Ideally a correction for multiplicity (as Tukey) would be needed. I've been using another stat tool with the Marascuilo procedure.   Why is this idea important?  It will be important for all situations where there are more than two groups to compare for their proportions   ...

What inspired this wish list request? I would like using the label orientation "Automatic" consistently but currently I must define it at each individual axis in graphs.     What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like to have it as a preference so that it is applied automatically to all my graphs.     Why is this idea important?  The proposal is important because it saves us a öot of clicks.     ...

Qu'est-ce qui a inspiré cette demande de liste de souhaits ?   La possibilité de le faire sur Minitab / Excel Le fait qu'un biais n'est pas forcément centré sur 0 exemple : [-1 ; +2 ] Que le calcul de l'intervalle de confiance du biais fait intervenir aussi bien l'Upper Limit que la Lower Limit du biais et pas forcément le delta calculé.   Quelle est l’amélioration que vous souhaiteriez voir ?   Pouvoir avoir la possibilité de saisir les deux limites et non que le delta comme c'est le cas actuellement.   Pourquoi cette idée est-elle importante ?   Indispensable pour la gestion des tests d'équivalence dont le biais n'est pas centré sur 0, aujourd'hui nous devons utiliser Excel pour mitiger cet écart (JMP pas utilisable donc).     ...

What inspired this wish list request?  When opening a JMP file (located on a shared folder in a company local network), JMP is copying it locally and opening it, modifications are only local until file is saved. But if in the meantime, the same file is open and modified by another user, some modificaitons can be lost.    What is the improvement you would like to see?  A message box informing that the file is yet opened by someone else can be very useful, or at least informing the user that you have to be careful with shared files. May be a lock information can be added to the JMP files ?   Why is this idea important?  Important because I experienced this situation and it is always annoying to discover that we have lost data or analyses!   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  The use of iba records (https ://www.iba-ag.com/en/) in the steel and energy industries become an international standard. No direct file import is possible, an intermediate txt file is needed.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Direct file import (like excel) using preview. Possible batch import with multiple files because these files are process data recording all day long   Why is this idea important?    Developing a gateway would make it easy to open up JMP to this field of activity (metals and energy). Developments (c++, .net,… in dll form) for reading iba files are available from iba. ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  Easy and automatic access to "fresh" information on JMP community or live events,...   What is the improvement you would like to see?  JMP home screen, split the right side in two with an area dedicated to news (new versions, webinars, events, etc.) with web links or even a web page displayed. The page would be automatically refreshed at startup if JMP is connected to internet       ... View more

What inspired this wish list request? I love the Difference vs Mean plot in this platform, but many times the difference may be a function of the mean. What next?     What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to be able to fit a line of Difference vs mean and see if it is significant, better yet, have JMP do it and suggest a different analysis like % Difference vs Mean (Available in JMP 18), and see if this one has a trend also. If it does, suggest another approach. At a minimum provide a way to output the data used in the plots to a data table so I can check myself. I think the Galton.jmp sample data file is a good example where people will get the incorrect conclusions. The Matched pairs analyses leads one to believe the difference is not significant, when in fact some assumptions of the paired t-test are violated, and this is not the correct conclusion. The assumption that the difference is random about an average difference is not true in this case.      Why is this idea important?  This will lead JMP users to the correct analysis in cases where the paired t-test assumptions are violated.     ...

What inspired this wish list request? At my company we need to compute ppk and new limits for datasets containing ~10k rows x 10k cols, and this needs to be done on multiple datasets semi-daily.  This can take a very long time.  I've explored writing scripts to automate this using either the Distribution or Process Capability platforms and output the ppk, the best-fit, the parameters for that fit, and a new set of limits based on a target ppk.  Some colleagues have written a script in Matlab to do the same.  Despite all my efforts to optimize my JMP script, the Matlab script is still about 10x faster.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see a JSL function that can be run in a script and does not create any report windows.  It would have these inputs: the data for a column as a 1xn matrix, a list of distributions to fit to the data, the preferred ppkmethod to use (score, percentile), target ppk And it would output the following: Name of the distribution with the best fit (minimum AICC) a vector or list of the fit parameters for the best-fit distribution type the ppk, ppkmethod used (zscore or percentile), aicc (nice to have, but not essential) new limits, computed using the target ppk (nice to have, but not essential) Lastly, it should be able to fit these distributions: Beta, Exponential, Gamma, Johnson, Lognormal, Normal, Normal Mixture, SHASH, and Weibull.   Why is this idea important? (1) I want my team to use JMP, but it is nearly impossible to convince them if my script takes 30min to run while the Matlab script does the same thing but takes only 1min.  The reason my script is slower is due to all the overhead of creating a report window for 10k columns.  Instead, it would great if these calculations could be done with a function that can skip report generation and just provide the results I need.  I believe this would be much faster, as well as easier to code. (2) We must be able to analyze datasets >10k columns.  I've noticed that my script just stops in the middle of execution when I try to run it with 12000 columns.  I have not identified the root cause yet, but it works fine for 3600 columns or less.  I suspect there may be a limitation in the report window generation causing an error.     Other things I've tried 1. Both the Fit Censored() and Fit Transform to Normal() functions are similar to the function I'm requesting, in that they both can be used to get the fit parameters.  They do not compute ppk or new limits, but I can use the fit parameters to  compute ppk and new limits myself.  However, these functions do support only a subset of distributions I would like to have.   2.  I'm currently exploring writing something in Python and incorporating that into my existing script, replacing the usage of the Distribution and Process Capability platforms.  This will take me a lot of time though.   Unfortunately the scripts to reproduce my problem are rather long.  I will provide on request, but hopefully my explanation of the problem above is sufficient.   My Specifics: JMP Pro 17.2.0 MacOS Ventura 13.6.1   ...

What inspired this wish list request?      Desirability is a highly effective concept for making a multi-criteria choice. For the moment, JMP only allows this concept to be used on the basis of a model. It would be very useful to be able to use it on a finite list of options (e.g. finding the best possible flat to rent from a list of offers).   What is the improvement you would like to see?    the manage limits tool allows you to manage specs limits efficiently. It would be very useful if it could also manage responses limits. Ideally, it should also be able to save the desirabilities one by one as well as the overall desirability.       Why is this idea important?    Stephane George (JMP system engineer) created a script for that purpose. Its addin meets the need perfectly well.     ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  To my knowledge to change the FONT size for the legend in a graph (for example using Bivariate platform) the user changes the Heading Fonts size in the Files>Preferences>Fonts GUI. However, this also changes the font size in the data table for the column headings.    What is the improvement you would like to see?  Add an option to File > Preferences > Fonts GUI to enable user to customize the font size for a graph and this option would not change the data table column heading font size. Perhaps there is also a way to jsl script the customization of the graph legend font size, but I've not figured out a way to that so far.    Why is this idea important?  For presentations and graph readability a large legend font size of ~18 or larger is used. However, this makes data column headers large and makes the data table more difficult to work with and can make column headings become only partially veiwable in certain GUI windows, or sub windows with a GUI. User then needs to stretch the window to be able to read the full column name. Unfortunately, sometimes column names get long in attempt to fully describe the given column's content details.   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Sometimes JMP files are shared for collaboration where multiple people edit the JMP table. Anyone can make changes and it's not immediately obvious how the file has changed when it's shared.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  It would be nice if there was an audit trail so you can see who made what change and what the change was.    Why is this idea important?  More visibility to what has happened with JMP files that are shared.   ...
