JMP Wish List

Contrast in Generalized Linear Model doesnt save as script and not accessible in script - so if you set up contrasts, the redo only adds the contrasts button and you have to re-enter all the contrasts.    It would also be good to be able to specify the reference category. In general the parameterisation should be more controllable or at least obvious.  A lot of users seem unaware that standard least squares and nominal logistic personalities use centered X's (ie mean reference category) whereas Generalized Regression and Generalized Linear Model use the reduced rank approach - ie zero'ing one of the levels like SAS does.  It would be good to have control over that, ie specify which level gets zero'ed or if mean subtraction should be used.  IT would be good to have the same approach and features available in all the regression procedures as far as possible and make everything JSl accessible. ...

Advanced users obtain results of platforms (e.g., Fit Model) by scripts. But for this, JMP forces the user to "scrape" the report, which is painful. It will be very helpful if the analysis results are, like in R, returned in a structured way, e.g., as an Associative Array. ... View more

Currentaly (in JMP 14.3), on reports of platforms like Fit Model, all the levels (unique values) of a Column is shown in the Parameter Estimates (and also in Indicator Parameterization Estimates) table, but the reference value does NOT appear on this report, which is confusing. Give an option to show the reference value in those tables. ... View more

Every Column has Format and this should be respected in reports. The current problem is that, for example, when Distribution of a Column representing a date or time is shown, meaningless numbers are shown as mean, median, etc. ... View more

Predictive models with binary Y that allow cross validation, eg k-fold or leave one out, the confusion matrix reflect only the last iteration of the cross classification. For example in 5-fold cross validation the training set has 80% of the data and the Validation set shows 20%.  The validation set should combine all 5 folds of the data to show 100%.  For leave one out it is even more useless as the validation set only has a single observation.   ...

Hi, Could you please implement Tukey's (Running Median) Smoothing approach in JMP. You already have a number of other EDA type tools and this one seems to be missing from JMP.   Many thanks. Russ ... View more

It would be great to create a pacakge in python. So, that We can import the package python and call the jsl from python itself.    I have a jsl script which will generate plots and save to a particular location. I want to call this script from python and in back-end, it will run the script in JMP and save the plots. Can tell me command for the same in python.   https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/jsl-Script-call-from-Python/m-p/206295#M41799   @txnelson  @Paul_Nelson  ... View more

Folks,   Currently, the Edit | Reformat Script command does a really nice job of reformatting JSL script so that all indentations are properly aligned.  However, this command is wrapping any text in a row that exceeds something in the order of 130 characters, regardless of the Wrap Text setting in Preferences.  I often organize/format my JSL in ways to aid in readability and organization which results in rather long rows (I have multiple large monitors which facilitiates the proper display of these long rows of characters).  Unfortunately, any time I run Edit | Reformat Script my long rows of JSL commands are wrapped in ways that makes it difficult to read and see my code structure.  I would appreciate it if the underlying value in Edit | Reformat Script that limits how many characters can be on a row is increased dramatically, or even eliminated.  If the character limitation was eliminated, the Wrap Text property in Preferences could handle text that extends beyond the size of a given window, regardless of monitor size.  Thanks for listening! ...

As we are all aware, a good deal of the time we spend on analyzing datasets is in preparing them for the analysis (ie- cleaning, organizing, formating, etc.).  Frequently I work with datasets that are updated with new data periodically and I would like to have the ability to script all the dataset preparations steps so they can be executed with the new data.  JMP has the ability to script analyses and graphing but not the dataset preparation steps.  I hope that other members of this community would find this fuctionality valuable.  If you would like to see this implemented please add your kudo to the rest of us.  Many thanks, Floyd Fox ...

In the Text Explorer platform there is an ID role, but it appears to be unused.  I have large blocks of patient narrative text that are identified by case numbers.  When I click on Show Text in the text explorer window the only way to know which narrative is shown is by the row number.  It would be great if the variable selected by the ID role was shown above the block of text with the chosen word/phrase in it.  Here's an example using the Aircraft Incidents sample dataset: ...

JMP has the best plotting facilities I have used, but a version for Mac OS (or Windows for that matter) is prohibitively expensive and the free Graph Builder for iPad requires owning an iPad.   Will like to request a Graph Builder or a simplified version of JMP (e.g. JMP-Lite) that would have at a minimum the graphing functions, the scripting and ability to import/export excel or csv files.    This could be offerred at a lower cost than the full version of JMP. ...

When using JSL, update the Make Validation Column function to accept column names for Stratified Random, Grouped Random, and Cutpoint options. I know you can use formula random and add a by(:Group) but there should be a direct way to do this. Example: current data table() << Make Validation Column( Training Set( 0.50 ), Validation Set( 0.25 ), Test Set( 0.25 ), Stratified Random ("My_Column_Name") ); ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  This request is inspired by the cumulative burden of teams licensing JMP v19 on systems that are intentionally air-gapped, i.e. not connected to the internet.  In the current offline activation workflow, JMP generates a ~70 character request code that is entered on the JMP website, which then returns a 700+ character response code that is hundreds of characters long and must be typed back into the offline machine. In highly restricted or air-gapped environments, transferring files onto a system can be extremely difficult or prohibited, making manual entry the only option. Typing long character codes is slow, error-prone, and often leads to failed activations even when the license itself is valid.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see an option for simplified offline activation entry. Instead of requiring the full response code to be manually typed, JMP could accept a short verification code derived from the response (e.g. 6 characters from a cryptographic hash), while still validating the full response internally. To maintain security, JMP could limit the number of failed attempts and require contacting JMP support after repeated failures. This approach would preserve the existing licensing model while making the human interaction portion of the process far more manageable.   Why is this idea important?  This change would significantly improve usability for customers working in regulated or other environments where offline installation is common. It would reduce transcription errors, activation failures, and time spent retrying license entries, while also lowering support burden. Overall, it would make JMP more practical and user-friendly in real-world offline deployment scenarios without meaningfully weakening security.   ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  The current MSA Design platform is restricted to a fixed set of roles: Operator, Part, and Gauge. This rigid structure assumes that measurement variability only comes from these three sources. However, in many industrial contexts, other environmental or temporal factors are just as critical.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like the MSA Design platform to allow customizable and expandable factors, similar to the Custom Design platform but tailored for MSA. Custom Labels: Instead of being forced to use "Gauge," let users rename the factor directly within the Design window (e.g., change "Gauge" to "Day" or "Site"). Dynamic Role Assignment: Allow users to define if a custom factor is Crossed or Nested directly in the setup UI, the MSA design structure is not really intuitive    Why is this idea important?    Ease of Use: It removes the "mental mapping" required to remember that "Gauge A" actually means "Monday" and "Gauge B" means "Tuesday." If we use the Gauge factor instead of a real Day factor Professionalism: It ensures that the generated data tables and scripts are correctly labeled from the start, making them "audit-ready" without manual intervention. Methodological Rigor: Modern MSA (like EMP - Evaluating the Measurement Process) often requires looking at multiple nested or crossed factors. Providing a flexible UI would make JMP more robust for complex measurement studies, moving beyond the traditional but limited "Operator/Part" mindset.       ... View more

☑ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☑ removes something that feels like a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   #myTop10_2026     What inspired this wish list request? While using Vibe Coding to generate and run JSL, I want to ensure that automatically produced code cannot accidentally perform destructive file operations. AI‑generated code is extremely helpful, but it can also introduce commands such as deleting directories or modifying files without the user noticing. Just think of  Delete Directory(...) Delete File(...) Rename File(...) applied to the main data storage directory of your company - You will get famous! What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like JMP to provide a JSL‑controllable Safe Mode that can be enabled programmatically with a shortJSL command - but can only be disabled after explicit user confirmation via a modal dialog (a dialog that cannot be bypassed or confirmed through JSL). While Safe Mode is active, JMP should intercept potentially destructive operations (e.g., deleting files or directories, renaming files, or similar filesystem‑modifying actions) and require user approval before execution. Which action is destructive? Just list the common 40 in the preferences - and let the user decide.     Why is this idea important? This feature would make Vibe Coding for JMP/JSL significantly safer by preventing unwanted file deletions or modifications when experimenting with AI‑generated scripts. It reduces the risk of data loss, increases user confidence when testing automatically generated code, and provides a controlled environment in which potentially dangerous actions can only occur with clear user intent.     other wishes from  ...

What inspired this wish list request?  As of JMP18 (based on JMP support comment) the excluded (unhidden) rows in fit model platform now show up as the letter 'e' with a very high transparency. The transparency for these points is too high so it's near impossible to actually see them - although I like the general feature. There is no known way to modify the transparency.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Reduce the transparency of excluded points in the fit model platform. Screenshot from JMP support: Screenshot from my own analysis:       Why is this idea important?  Seems like potentially an easy change, since right now it's near impossible to visualize excluded data in a model. If we don't want it shown that's what the 'hide' status is for   ... View more

What inspired this wish list request? Request from process engineers What is the improvement you would like to see? Add additional customization options for SPC run rules to allow one-sided application of the test. Examples:  Test 1 only flag points beyond 3sd ABOVE the centerline, Test 2 have option to only flag point 8 or 9 in a row when all ABOVE center point. Ignore when run is below centerline. Why is this idea important? Would greatly improve usability of certain KPI charts. We have some one-sided specs or processes for negative populations and are only interested in elevated results. The flags become nuances flags that we "write off" but still appear on our charts and generate questions  ... View more
