JMP Wish List

Background: I like that the default behavior in JMP is "automatic recalc" turned OFF. Sometimes I need to turn it ON, and I am grateful that this happens whenever I open a Local Data Filter. But during a typical JMP session I will end up with tens of windows open at the same time, some with legends and some without, some with automatic recalc turned ON and some with it OFF. JMP's row states can start to get pretty unpredictable in this frequently encountered situation.   Problem: One way to restore predictability to row colors and markers is for a user to close whichever windows have both (1) a row legend and (2) automatic recalc turned ON, but sometimes it's hard to find those windows among all that are open.   Proposed Solutions: 1. Enhance various "window list" interfaces with a small icon that flags reports where there is at least one chart with automatic recalc turned ON. Right now those window list interfaces already have two other icons: a circle for tables that have not been saved since their last modification and a check mark for the currently viewed window. It seems to me that a third icon for reports that have automatic recalc turned ON would not interfere with those other icons. (In the case where the currently viewed window has automatic recalc turned ON, perhaps the check mark would take precedence over the automatic recalc icon?)   2. Alternatively, enhance various "window list" interfaces with a small icon that flags reports where there is at least one instance of a chart with both (a) a row legend and (b) automatic recalc turned ON. This logic would be more targeted and truly more relevant to solving the problem, but also more complicated to explain to users who are new to JMP.   3. Perhaps the "close multiple" interface could be enhanced with a button for "Select Automatic Recalc" ... View more

I am using graph builder to map data.  I want to be able to overlay the outlines of my area of interest with the existing shape file for US counties.  However the best I can manage is to concatenate the two shape files and create a new combined file.  While this "works", I am unable to make the AoI a different color so that it stands out.  It would be great to be able to select more than one boundary from the background maps menu, and to be able to alter the properties of each separately.   ...

Just like the raw state, make the column states functional. Also make sure you have some excluded columns, how many are selected, and the ability to save column state. Maybe a similar function is in jmp. If you know such a function, I would appreciate it if you let me know. ... View more

I strongly request JMP please develop a more completed map of China for Chinese users in the upcoming version, including Hongkong, Macau, Taiwan, islands of South China Sea and nine-dotted line so that I can publish my analysis result to some platforms like video website, BBS, and even knowledge database website to publish my paper.

Our students/coworkers typically find themselves with specific needs related to the graphical depiction of the STRUCTURE of data.  We would like JMP to either improve or modify the existing capability for Ishikawa / Fishbone diagrams to enable the creation of "trees" depicting a data collection, or to ignore the Diagram platform to provide a new way to take a list of variables in a data collection, and display the structure of the data easily in tree format.   A) Depiction of the data present in existing files/DBs, including the presence of confounding in that data - independent variables that are NOT tracked or present in the existing data, but are confounded with fields that are (Example:  Age and Height might not be tracked in a database that DOES have a field for WEIGHT) - so the tree might show that we have five patients, and each has a WEIGHT in the database, but we each also has an Age and Height NOT present in the data.  We show this because in the analysis we want to indicate where an effect might be INCORRECTLY attributed to a variable present, when in fact it could be due in part or total to some other variable we did not collect.   B) Depiction of NEW data collected passively (sampling plans).  The need here is essentially the same as A, but is listed separately as this data would not exist at the time the plan is created.   C) Factor Relationship Diagrams (FRDs).  Essentially the depiction of a DOE created by JMP, with design structure based on the chosen design parameters, but then also the capability of placing within each combination a tree for the unmanipulated variables (unit structure)..For example, for the combination - + + - we would also want to know / show that within this combination, there were two machines examined, and within each we took two material samples.  Ideally Design Structure would be BLACK, and Unit Structure RED.   To attempt to do this via the Diagram platform is awkward, and we are in particular interested in C, as JMP is typically where we choose our design, so it would be nice to have it just translate that into a diagram.  Later enhancements would increase flexibility of unit structure capability, including the ability to add CONDITIONS at the top of any diagram (noises/variables constant throughout). ...

Can you add in preference settings for the OpenGL View Settings (accessible currently via right click in Scatterplot3D).  I find that the settings for Marker Size are way to small for me to effectively visualize data, especially small data sets and DOE factors, so I would like to be able to set the view settings to have a marker size that is larger.     Also, it might be nice to the marker size setting for the graph be adaptive to the size of the data set and the distance between points.  Seems like there is some optimal visualization setting, where the size of the point should be related to the distance between the points.  The more/less dense the data is over the range of the data, the smaller/larger the data point marker size should be.   ...

It would be great if a selected point in Graph Builder could be labelled with new information right there.   So basically, it's a mixture of Row Label and Annotate - new text that is connected to a data point. Maybe one could select a point, right-click -> Rows -> Row Label with New Information, a small window would open up with a field for new text, and when clicking OK a new column would be created (in the background) and labelled, and the new text would be written into the selected row for that column and the row also labelled.   Maybe there could be further options to select an already existing column as target for the new text info or sth like that. This would help if one wanted to do this with a number of points and not create a new label column for each point. ... View more

Hi.  Long-time Windows users, new Mac user.  On Windows JMP, if I ever created tables or reports that was linked to a source, and then selected the source table, icons would appear in the bottom of the screen showing all the items linked to it.  This was nice because I could immediately navigate to those items or see what was linked to the source, without having to go to the home window.     Could we add this to the Mac version? ...

I would like include file list() to actually have what's been included instead of just the parent tree.   So if I have a file parent.jsl and include child1.jsl and child2.jsl (in that order) the include file list() inside of child2.jsl would have child1.jsl in the list.  Or maybe make it so include() won't include again if the file has already been included (perhaps with a force=1 flag to force include() to include again).  I said include a lot there, but I hope it makes sense.   ...

I've previously been using Windows machines, but recently switched to Mac.  In top of the script editor on Windows machines, there was a dropdown box with the name of the current data table.  On my mac I do not see this box anymore.       I have several tables open and it's important to know which table JMP considers to be the current data table while using or debugging a script.  Thanks.   ...

phone/tablet app that can view .jrn files.   A specific request, but maybe useful to expand the JMP sphere of influence.  Not all of my collagues have JMP, but it would be nice if I could directly share JMP Journal files via email to where they could view them in their phone and or tablet. It would save me the hassle of having to export the results to <something, and something formatted that is readable> for those that don't have JMP.     Likewise, a standalone computer program that would be a JMP Journal viewer.    ...

The distribution calculator is a great tool for teaching and to look up certain quantiles. Other tools (e.g. 'Confidence Interval for One Proportion' or 'Sample Size for Confidence Intervals') are also a great help, but they're hidden away under the Help -> Sample Data -> Teaching Scripts / Calculators menus.   I would love it if they were more easily accessible.   There are add-ins available with these contents, but they don't always work as reliable as when going through Help -> Sample Data -> ...     ...

All,     When you have a matrix and you would like to sort the matrix, I am currently unaware of a function that would let me sort the matrix without using a loop over the columns or rows. I don't think this is particularly efficient. Additionally, there is no straight forward way to retain the positions once sorting is performed. Please see the following discussion for more details :  https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Sort-a-matrix/m-p/85678#M38246       As you will see in the discussion , @Mark_Bailey was kind enough to offer a simple custom function, which I would think is useful to have in the JMP arsenal.     The function that @Mark_Bailey provided is shown below for convenince.    A = [10 -12 4 8; 6 -9 8 0; 2 3 11 -2; 1 1 9 3]; sort matrix = Function( { m }, { t, b=[], i=[] }, For( j = 1, j <= N Cols( m ), j++, t = A[0,j]; b ||= Sort Descending( t ); i ||= Matrix( Reverse( As List( Rank Index( t ) ) ) ); ); Eval List( { b, i } ); ); { B, I } = sort matrix( A ); Show( A, B, I ); I also took the liberty of adding a little more along the same lines, so as to make it more generalized than my limited need :   sort matrix = Function( { m,order }, { t, b=[], i=[] }, If(order == "ascending", For( r = 1, r <= N Cols( m ), r++, t = A[0,r]; b ||= Sort Ascending( t ); i ||= Matrix( As List( Rank Index( t ) ) ); ); Eval List( { b, i } ); , // else If(order == "descending", For( r = 1, r <= N Cols( m ), r++, t = A[0,r]; b ||= Sort Descending( t ); a i ||= Matrix(Reverse(As List( Rank Index( t ) )) ); ); Eval List( { b, i } ); ); ); );   ...

Application Builder opens up incredible opportunities to to develop user interfaces for numerous tasks. When using the key pad, the Tab key could be used to position the cursor for the next entry if it could be controlled. This would be much faster than using the mouse to position the cursor. Currently, the Tab key positions the cursor in reverse order of field creation sequence. It would be nice to be able to define the position of the cursor based upon the current field and/or entries made in the current field and previous entries. ...
