JMP Wish List

☐ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☑ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it     The code in the formula editor can be either constructed by clicking on variables, columns or function in the menu on the left, by dragging items into the formula window - or directly by typing in the code. In the latter case, after typing in the first character, a small jsl code editor pops up and the user can continue to enter the code. There is even syntax highlighting :) Unfortunately, it happens very often that the second - or even third - character is lost: Do other users experence the same issue? What's the benchmark typing speed? 3 missed characters? I hope, the issue can be fixed in a future release of jmp :)   ... View more

I'd like to see the columns that are causing the error to show up in this error message:   right now it is quite tedious to find out which columns to remove to get past this error.  Note: this was while using the BSF platform.   ... View more

☐ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☑ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it     JSL auto suggestion via object << xy + CTRL + space is great.   But it takes very long for the auto suggestion list to be generated if the user presses CTRL + space and  (*) - JMP doesn't know the object yet - no first letters (xy...) were given Some ideas how the behavior of JSL auto complete could be changed: - make the generation of the list faster [esp. for the unique case "show all commands" (*)] - allow the user to agort the generation of the list by click somewhere with the mouse or pressing esc. - in the case of  (*), generate an empty, list - without waiting time. - in the case of (*) instead of generating a list, fill the Hover Window with a text that says that 1) the object was not defined yet and that 2) the user should enter at least one letter of the command ...

Following an analysis e.g. linear regression I often use the "make into data table" function.  The output table changes the data from it's original format e.g. from "Numeric" and "Continuous" to "Character" and "Nominal".  It also renames sometimes e.g. from "Concentration" to "Group".  This means, in order to create new analyses from these tables I have to manual change the titles and data formats back to their original settings.  Can we make it so that data formats and column names are retained from the original data table? JMP 16.1.0   Example: Original Column settings: Analyze > Specialized Modelling > Fit Curve Fit Curve > Polynomials > Linear Inhibitor Concentration is now “Group” Make Data Table I want to plot Slope vs Inhibitor Concentration but the column is “Group” and the Data and Modelling Type is no longer correct.   ...

In the "Fit Model" platform, I think it would be great, if in an update or future release, one could add a variety of spline transformations(including natural cubic, bspline, or pspline with the ability to select the placement of knots). There are times when I need to do some nonlinear count data modelling with random effects (ie ZINB, Hurdle, ZIP ... ) that requires GLIMMIX or NLMIXED in SAS, but it would be great, for instance, to be able to have the same flexibility for the “fit model” platform in JMP to do the same. Also if the starting parameters could be output that would helpful too. Due to the speed of processing it could serve as a check on the results of both NLMIXED and GLIMMIX.    ... View more

I have a stacked table with a Time Point (X) column, a Cumulative Release (Y) column, and several columns of factors from a DOE. We have different specification limits for release at various time points in the dissolution curve, as required by the FDA. In development, I need to fit curves to the data, use models to determine significant factors, and optimize factors using Desirability Functions. I can fit curves with this table, but I cannot use the Desirability Functions because each column can only have one set of specifications saved with it. I can split the table by Time Point and make a new table, but that creates more documentation and review work, as required by our data integrity rules. It would be nice if there was a way to account for these specifications in Fit Model and FDE.   Suggestions   Allow specification limits to be set conditionally. This may help resolve the problem for non-FDE models.   In FDE, allow more than one target curve. Curves based on upper spec, target, and lower spec would allow explorations of the variable space for each target curve. I use JMP Pro 16.2.0 ... View more

Consider adding shortcuts to Graph Builder to enable fast plotting for keyboard users --   E.g. suppose I have speed and distance versus time, and I'd like to plot distance vs. time colored on speed, I could click on the "distance" variable, then press "y", the "time" variable and press "x", then "speed" and press "c".    This would be a check-able option under the red-triangle, whether these shortcuts are active, or the default of simply switching to a variable starting with that character.   Another option would be to allow capital letters to drop the variable into the drop zones, so the user could type "dYtXsC" and create the plot above very quickly.   Possible mappings:  x = x-axis, y = y-axis, h = horizontal groupings, v = vertical groupings, w = wrap, o = overlay, c = color, s = size, i = interval, f = freq, p = page, m = map shape ...

Too many times I have accidentally closed a window/analysis then 2 seconds later realized I wasn't quite done with it.  Yes, I could use recall to redo it quickly, but would really like to be able to press a button and restore the last thing I closed.  ... View more

Several scripts that I have made for operations have no data table associated with them, but rely on input dialogs where the user navigates to the necessary inputs for the script to run. To improve on security, I have started thinking about encrypting the scripts so they can't be edited - or seen - in the case proprietary items may be involved. I haven't found any way in forums or the help guide to encrypt the whole script without knowing anything about a data table.   Thanks! ... View more

Please consider adding an upper confidence interval for the standard deviation to the variance component analysis output in the Fit Model platform.  Guidance in ICH Q14 contains acceptance criteria related to the Upper 95% confidence interval of the intermediate precision of during assay validation.    Currently, the variance, 95% CI of the variance and the standard deviation (point estimate) are calculated.  The variance from the VCA is used outside of JMP to manually calculate the intermediate precision value (upper CI of the standard deviation).    ...

I use LaTex for making presentations and always struggle to save the output JMP plots as PDF in the size which is suitable for Beamer. It would be great if we could have an option which would allow without additional manual adjustment to save images as PDF in the right size to use in Beamer presentation.     ... View more

I was thinking about the weekly JMP Getting Started webinar (e.g. Getting Started With JMP | JMP), and how it might be more visible. I think it would be nice for users to get a toast-style message in JMP (or something similar) that says something like "Starting in 3 hours 28 minutes: Getting Started with JMP, a live weekly webinar from JMP". You could, of course, do similar for other webinars, etc, if something like this was implemented.   Of course, there should definitely be a way to opt out of receiving any further notifications, but I would bet that a lot of new users never really learn about this webinar! ...

I would like to suggest that you add the power of 10 scientific format to the standard number formats in JMP - for tables, graphs.   The format in question looks like this: 1 × 10⁴ ... View more

Propose adding more organization and displaying of assigned F keys (like F1 through F12 on most keyboards) and other shortcut keys. Currently using JMP16.2. I saw in recent JMP Discovery Summit presentations the great idea to add your own shortcut keys. (Jed Campbell's "Using JMP for Everyday Automation (2022-US-30MP-1143)"  https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discovery-Summit-Americas-2022/Using-JMP-for-Everyday-Automation-2022-US-30MP-1143/ta-p/505846   I have a mac keyboard for work-from-home remoting into my PC at work, so many short cut keys do not translate exactly. I found that there are unused F keys, so I assigned the Scripting Index to F2. I see when you customize the menu bar, JMP does know what is assigned.    Some software like the open-source Freeplane allows you to display an "F-bar" for all the function keys, and easily assign to unused ones. Would propose JMP allow easier tracking under View > Toolbars, and then some shortcut toolbars, other than just the pdf "Quick Reference Guide". Possibly also a category under Preferences. Bigger wish would be to organize F keys AND all known short cut keys, and also track when users update those (like New > Script is CTRL-T, which I use a lot to start a quick script, and Jed used CTRL-shift-X for the Scripting Index in his presentation).   Current F keys: F1 JMP Help F3 Edit > Search > Find Next F6 Rows > Previous Selected F7 Rows > Next Selected F8 Submit to SAS F9 Window > Reveal   F2, F4, F5, F10, F11, F12 not assigned in JMP16.2 (I do not know if Pro has others assigned)   By the way, this assignment is stored in your "usercust.jmpcust" file:   <jm:menu_and_toolbar_customizations xmlns:jm="http://www.jmp.com/ns/menu" version="3">   <jm:insert_in_main_menu>     <jm:insert_in_menu>       <jm:name>HELP</jm:name>       <jm:customization target="SCRIPTING INDEX">         <jm:accel>F2</jm:accel>       </jm:customization>     </jm:insert_in_menu>   </jm:insert_in_main_menu> </jm:menu_and_toolbar_customizations> ...

Not sure if this is already possible, but it would be really neat if there was the ability to save graph builder scripts (in the 'customize graph' dialog) in the 'templates' or 'samples' drop-down lists for easier/faster loading during future analyses.  ... View more

Submitting this on behalf of Doug Sommerville, a JMP user at the US Army, .  Doug has long used Probit analysis in his toxicology studies.  JMP defaults to Logit link functions for most of this type of analysis.  The Probit Link is offered in the GLM personality of the Fit Model platform.  However, it only supports binary responses.  Doug has a need to analyze responses with more than two ordinal levels.  Allowing JMP to provide an ordered Probit analysis would greatly facilitate his work and that of anyone doing toxicology.  It is common practice in this field to compare different toxic materials by their Probit slopes.  It would also be great if this link function were offered in the Ordinal Response Personality as well as in GenReg.  This request has come out of recent Tech Support Case Number 00025561 which contains an example data set.  I have also attached the data set below. Note.  Doug is a more than 20-year user of a competitor which has offered Probit analysis that JMP did not.  It would be great to give him one more reason to use JMP. ... View more

This is simply a labeling issue, but when teaching my biostatistics course I have to constantly deal with it.  In experimental design, there is a difference between matched data and paired data.  Matched data will be two different populations in which an attempt has been made to reduce the variables by matching for certain characteristics that might impact the response being studied but which aren't the focus of the study.  For example, age, gender, smoking status, etc.  Paired data is two populations of numbers in which the same variable has been measured on the same population usually at two different times, or under two different conditions.  For example, before and after treatment with a given drug.  Matched data is properly analyzed with a standard t test, whereas paired data with a paired t test.  Now the problem is, the paired t test is found under Analyze > Specialized Modeling > MATCHED Pairs.  This nomenclature can be confusing to students particularly when they are already having problems understanding the material (and don't particularly want to be in the class anyway, but it is required).  Could this be changed to PAIRED DATA, or something other than MATCHED PAIRS?  Thanks. ...

Hello dear JMP Team, When searching through the Sample Data Index in the part "Design of Experiments", I see no indications about the type of design used. I find it quite difficult to navigate in this list and find the right design example. Perhaps would it be possible to add next to each file name the type of design used (not necessarily all the details of the design) ? : Custom Design, Augmented Design, Definitive Screening Design, 2-levels Screening/Fractional Factorial/Full Factorial Design, Response Surface Design (CCD, Box-Behnken...), Mixture Design, Taguchi Arrays, Choice Design, MaxDiff design, Space-Filling Design, ... It would help a lot find the right example with the right design, when teaching/explaining/learning a concept about DoE and needing a toy dataset to demonstrate. Thanks for the hard work ! ...
