JMP Wish List

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! ...

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 ! ...

I'd like to see the change to the error band on graph builder to go over the entire line element vs just the center of the line.  See picture, in this example the error bar would go from one side of the graph panel to the other side of the panel, just just like the line is doing.  This would mimic the way the confidence intervals on the smoother works.   Thanks!   Steve ...

Why not simplify naming in JMP and call the Cp and Cpk values as "capability" and the Pp and Ppk values as "performance", i.e. drop the term "overall sigma capability"? Since Pp and Ppk are estimates of past performance based on the descriptive statistic "overall SD" it seems to me misleading to label them as "capability".  I think it would be helpful to have capability more clearly aligned to stable/ predictable processes i.e. "within sigma" and leave the Pp/Ppk values as simple (and often useful) descriptions of past performance. ...

Most of the tables that JMP uses have the magic JMP Home Button icon bottom right of the table which takes you back to the Home Window . I use the Query builder a lot and if I have a number of JMP applications open it can be quite tricky to find which one contains the query as well as any other tables I'm using.   Can the JMP Home window button be added to the Query Builder ( as well as any others not currently having it)?   David   ...
