JMP Wish List

What inspired this wish list request?  We have the same issue/need as described in this User Community question: Solved: Graph Builder: hide X categories with no data - JMP User Community. Here it is solved by scripting, but I would be much better and more flexible to have an interactive solution. The Graph Builder always shows all categories on the x-axis, and sometimes that is fine, but in other situations it is not. I know there is no data, e.g. this particular measurement wasn't done for all batches. So I don't want to see the batches that have no measurement on the x-axis. This can be solved by adding a Where to the Graph Builder script, but not everybody knows JSL. And if we also want to use a Column Switcher (like in the User Community question), it requires a lot of JSL. See Example1.jmp. The default behavior of the Graph Builder is also a problem when using Page. E.g. we have measurements for a lot of batches from different factories. I use the measurement as Y, Batch as X and Factory as Page and make it a Bar plot. The x-axis shows all batches, which means that most of each plot is empty space, while I would like it to only show the batches where there is data, i.e. the batches for that particular Factory. See Example2.jmp. I currently solve this by changing the Page to By, but then we loose a lot of nice properties that come with the Page setup.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  A setting (the current can be default) like "Ignore/Skip x-axis values/categories with no data" that can be selected interactively in the graph builder. It could be under the Bar element settings if it doesn't apply/make sense for other graph elements.   Why is this idea important?  To avoid graphs with a lot of empty space which makes it impossible to see the trends we are actually looking for. To avoid having to do workarounds.   ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?    When evaluating the ratio of two data sets, for example, product 1 and product 2, the most well accepted method for determining the confidence interval of this ration is Fieller's method/theorem. This analysis is currently not available in JMP and R must be used. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fieller%27s_theorem       What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see an option in the Oneway analysis fit y by x platform to perform this analysis.   Why is this idea important?  This is needed when making comparisons between two things expressed as a ratio, for example, product 1 is X% better than product 2.    ...

☐ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☐ removes something that feels like a „bug“ ☑ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  For linked data tables (either summary tables or linked subsets),  a click on  will take me to the original data table. This is very convenient. Great that JMP is willing to share this knowledge.   Unfortunately, there is no corresponding functionality available via JSL - to get from a linked summary table or subset table to the main table.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  For reports, one can use the message << get data table()t o get a reference for the data table. For linked summary tables and subset tables, please provide a corresponding message to get a reference of the original data table.   Why is this idea important?    Just imagine how often you generate a report from a summary table - and then face the difficulty how to save the script. Actually, it's just a combination of  a) the source script for the summary table b) the source script of the report ... but it requires ~ 20 mouse clicks to save the combined script to the main table. If there is a way to get the main table - all this could be triggered by a single click on a toolbar. cool, right?   other wishes from  ... View more

☐ cool new feature ☑ could help all Jmp users! ☑ removes something that feels like a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  In Jmp18, a warning message appears for EVERY user - EVERY day - EVERY time Jmp is started  ... unfortunately: already months before Jmp expires. Unlike a splash window, the pop-up window remains in place until the user closes it manually.   This is how it looks like:   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please - remove the warning message [either: completely, or: after 3 seconds] - just show the warning message 1 - 2 x before it gets disabled [automatically] or: - add an option to disable the warning message (like for the startup splash window).   Why is this idea important?  less confusion for JMP users no annoyed license site managers   other wishes from    TS-00143027   ...

What inspired this wish list request? I was running a bunch of different Proportions in the Tolerance Interval analysis that is located in the Distribution Platform and found going over a lot of different proportions to be too time consuming.  I got help with how to script out of it from the community but it seems like this should be a built in functionality   Solved: Re: Inputting a data range and "increment by" into a user input box - JMP User Community   What is the improvement you would like to see? I'd like the ability to put in a min value, a max value, and an increment value and have all the outputs ran automatically in the platform.  For an example, if my min is 70 and my max is 90 and I want to have an analysis for every 10 units I could put in something like this:    and get out an analysis for 70, 80, and 90      Why is this idea important? This will save users a lot of time when they want to see a range out outputs.  I think this style of input could be used across a range of Analysis Platforms.     ...

What inspired this wish list request? JMP18 does not provide a tolerance interval for a linear fit, though it does provide Confidence and Prediction Bands (selectable by check-box in Graph Builder). (ref.  https://projecteuclid.org/proceedings/berkeley-symposium-on-mathematical-statistics-and-probability/Proceedings-of-the-Second-Berkeley-Symposium-on-Mathematical-Statistics-and/Chapter/Tolerance-Intervals-for-Linear-Regression/bsmsp/1200500218 )   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Add a check box for Tolerance Interval in the "Confidence" section in the Graph Builder platform, along with the means to specify confidence and coverage for that interval.     Why is this idea important? Tolerance intervals are essential in characterizing a model, but calculating these intervals is cumbersome -- and practically impossible to do this dynamically the way the GB platform easily does for the Confidence Prediction Bands.      ...

What inspired this wish list request? We need to center only the data but not center and reduce (dividing by standard deviation).   What is the improvement you would like to see? Add a new function optionnal argument to define if we don't want to divide by the standard deviation and just make a center calculation.   Why is this idea important? Could be usefull and we don't have to code this function. Better performances.     ... View more

☐ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☐ removes something that feels like a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   #myTop10_2024  What inspired this wish list request?  JMP provides many useful platforms and great functionality for exploratory data analysis.   But even after 18 versions of JMP - there is still some low-hanging fruit to be picked - such as is in spec(value)        What is the improvement you would like to see?  For a column with Spec limits, please provide   a JSL function is in spec(:value) which compares the value of the current row with the spec limits of the column and returns 1 if the value is in spec, missing, if the value is missing and 0 if the value is out of spec  a functions is out of spec(:value) which compares the value of the current row with the spec limits of the column and returns 0 if the value is in spec missing, if the value is missing -1 if :value[] < LSL +1 if :value[] >USL   Both functions should be available via the right click "new formula column" menu. Then users can easily generate new transform column on the fly in every platform - to group and add color to specific data points.   Why is this idea important?  Is the value in spec is a question that is often asked. Right? -> JMP users will love the new easy to use functions.     other wishes from  ... View more

The PI/AVEVA connector is substantially improved, enabling JMP to be used in manufacturing datasets.   PI AF databases have multiple elements. The window to select Attributes cannot be resized properly. In addition, we need to be able to search the data using a bar to filter elements.        Last but not least, users should be able to copy and paste the selection done in a previous moment, so the work does not need to be repeated. Similarly, keeping the previous options in memory will help with new extractions (or by having a recall button) ... View more

☑ cool new feature ☑ everybody will want it! ☐ removes a bug ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  Table Scripts are useful, Column Switcher and Data Filters are helpful. But - have you ever dreamed of having a universal control panel for your presentation? In Jmp 19 (?) it will be available *)   *) if enough users support this wish with a Kudo.   You might know: Enhanced Log/workflow Builder has two different ways how actions are recorded. a) for Tables, every change is recorded as a separate step: if a table is changed, JMP does NOT record a script how to generate the current data table, it just records how to get from the previous version to the current one   b) for reports, just the final version of the report is recorded: if a report is changed, Jmp doesn't record anything. Just at the end ... JMP         ....  records a script how to generate the current report]   Some days ago, @bswedlove posted the wishChanging a label should show in the Log  Let's start with this wish ... and think big - really BIG.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  add a setting for the enhanced log/ workflow builder on which level to record the steps: a) slim: just final scripts for reports (like now) b) verbose: intermediate steps are recorded as well What comes out: Presentation Autopilot   With the current Workflow Builder, a user can record his analysis workflow and use it again for the next data set.   With Presentation Autopilot (aka Workflow Builder 2.0), a user can generate an interactive, easy to use, fancy, impressive ... Presentation Workflow. He can start with a graph - and record whichever change he makes, group such steps and voila: he has an autopilot which can be used to interactively guide him through the changes of the graph, add variables, change colors, add labels, remove variables, replace variables, add a data filter, change the size, ...   Why is this idea important?  It will be sooo cool - everybody will want it! other wishes from  ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Trying to manage extra analysis outside of my dashboard while still being interactive with the dashboard.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to be able to float windows on top of other windows in JMP. These windows would need some clear indicator that they are floating on top and as always, it should be possible to script this.   Example: I have a dashboard which fills my screen. I wish to perform small extra analysis from the same linked data, clustering for example. I wish to use this clustering result to select my data and see the selections in my dashboard AND I want to change the selections from the clustering report. Currently I have to make my dashboard smaller and then move the clustering next to it. This way I can click on both windows without them "fighting" on the priority on my screen.   Why is this idea important?  Further enhances the interactivity of JMP.   ... View more

☐cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☑ removes a (MS) „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  Many Windows users use Sharepoint to collaborate on the same files. Very convenient: synchronize the Sharepoint file with your OneDrive to have all the files accessible without the hiccups of direct Sharepoint access. This works great for Microsoft files like Word, Excel, Powerpoint...   For Jmp files, it can be very dangerous to have two colleagues working on the same file. In the morning, Alice opens a file, modifies it and saves it at 9 am. She expects the file to be automatically updated in Sharepoint-but as long as the file is open in Jmp, OneDrive won't send the updated file to Sharepoint. After lunch, Bob opens the file on his computer - unfortunately, still the previous version. He makes some changes, saves the file, and closes the file. Now Bob's file is sent to Sharepoint. After a few more hours of tweaking, Alice is satisfied with her version and saves the file. It's now 22:00 and she closes Jmp as well. Now Onedrive tries to update the file in Sharepoint and notices that the file has been changed "in the meantime" (according to OneDrive: in the meantime =  after Alice opened the file in the morning). Therefore, a message will pop up saying that "there are now two versions of the file" - the official one and Alice's version saved with a different filename. Unfortunately, Alice is already on her way home and won't see this message. Best case: The next day, Alice and Bob discover the problem - and after a few "seconds" of merging the files, they end up with the correct one. Worst case: Nobody notices.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please optimize the way Jmp works together with OneDrive and Sharepoint. Within Jmp there exist thousands or "workarounds" to make things work via Eval(parse (...)). I hope Jmp developers will find a creative workaround against this annoying behavior of OneDrive / Sharepoint.   suggestions: Please optimize the way Jmp works with OneDrive and Sharepoint. The ideal solution: working with Jmp files from OneDrive/Sharepoint works as seamless as for MS Office files. This will be along way to go ... Inside Jmp there are thousands of "workarounds" to make things work. I hope the Jmp developers will find a creative Eval(parse (...)) workaround for this annoying behavior of OneDrive/Sharepoint.   Suggestions: Is a file stored in OneDrive? -> is there an API command? if not, maybe check the parent directories and search for "OneDrive". If a file is saved to a OneDrive folder, inform the user that the file won't be updated online until the file is closed. close the file and re-open it to trigger the upload (how long has it to be closed till OneDrive notices?) When a file is saved to a OneDrive folder, send an API command to OneDrive to trigger the upload.   Why is this idea important?  The loss of data is one of the most serious problems.   other wishes from  ...

☑ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☑ removes something that feels like a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  Via the variables settings in Graphbuilder a user can disable some variables for a specific plot style. Extremely useful!! ... but it could be even better. At the moment, not ALL variables are listed, e.g. X / Y Group and Wrap are missing. missing: Wrap, X Group, Y Group ?!?!?   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Add checkboxes for the missing variables - to give the user the chance to disable them.   Why is this idea important?  If a user uses Wrap to split a plot into several subplots -  at the moment, there is no possibility to generate a COMMON FIT (with all data points) and display it an all subplots. such a common fit could be used to see how the individual fits deviate from this common fit.   Here is a workaround:  Before splitting the plot into subplots, generate a fit and save the formula to the table. Add the fitted data points and split the plot.   With the possibility to disab´ple the Wrap (or X /Y Group) variable for the Linear fit, the final plot could be generated directly with GraphBuilder without a woraround.   cool, isn't it?       Names Default to Here(1); // generate the plot without splitting it dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" ); myPlot= Data Table( "Big Class" ) << Graph Builder( Size( 582, 401 ), Summary Statistic( "Median" ), Graph Spacing( 4 ), Variables( X( :height ), Y( :weight ) ), Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 12 ) ), Line Of Fit( X, Y, Legend( 14 ) ) ) ); myPlot << Update Element( 1, 1, 2, {Save Formula} ); // save the fit :"Line of Fit(weight)"n << set name("common fit"); // use it in additional to the data points myPlot << Add Variable({:common fit , Role("Y"), Position(1)}); // split the plot myPlot << Add Variable({:sex, Role("wrap")})         other wishes from  ...

What inspired this wish list request? Please describe the current issue that needs improvement or the problem to be solved that is not easy or possible right now, with an example use case.    In the least squares platform, there is the possibility to directly save the prediction formula + confidence interval formulas + prediction interval formulas, with just one click (see screenshot). When variable selection is important, we work in the generalized regression platform. From there it is sadly not possible to directly save the prediction formula + confidence interval formulas + prediction interval formulas (see screenshot). Instead, the model has to be refit after model selection in the least square platform to get this benefit, which is also not possible if you choose a different response distribution than normal.    What is the improvement you would like to see? Please describe the idea for improving JMP. Please include mock-ups, wireframes, screenshots, scripts, other documents or examples from other software that help describe the change you would like to see.    I would like to see the same functionality for saving prediction formula + confidence interval formulas + prediction interval formulas with just one click in the generalized regression platform.   Why is this idea important? Please describe the value to you and/or other users if the idea is implemented (for example, ease of use, must have,…).   This functionality would be likely easy to implement, save clicks, and make life a lot easier for everyone performing model selection concerned with model uncertainty.              ...

☑ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☑ removes something that feels like a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  Data tables with images in JMP are extremely useful! But the usability for other programs is quite restricted.   1) since JMP18, one can directly access data tables from Python. But columns with images are not supported.  https://community.jmp.com/t5/Mastering-JMP/Developer-Tutorial-New-Python-Integration-and-Scripting/tac-p/747694/highlight/true#M503    2) like JMP, Excel supports data tables with images in cells. But when I export a JMP data table with images, I just see the JSL code in the cells. data table with images -> Excel    What is the improvement you would like to see?  1) Please provide direct Python access to column with images. The images should be accessible as images.   2) When exporting data tables with images, please provide an option to export the images as images - and not as JSL code.     Why is this idea important?  1) will be extremely helpful for Python machine learning  algorithms with image analysis   2) will be quite useful to share graphical results with nonJMP colleagues [when further editing of the data table is required]       other wishes from  ...

☑ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☐ removes something that feels like a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  In JSL there are functions like  is control key() to get the current status of modifier keys,   unfortunately,  This function does not return the current state of the control key but rather the state of the control key at the start of another event like mouse click or key press.  Checking for modifier keys (ctrl, alt, shift) in script without mouse trapping      What is the improvement you would like to see?  As  JMP does have an internal function to get the modified key state at any time but this is not exposed via JSL. Checking for modifier keys (ctrl, alt, shift) in script without mouse trapping  ... could you please provide a JSL function to expose the current status of a modifier key :)     Why is this idea important?  This will allow JSL programmers to generate Toolbars and commands in the menu on a completely new level: depending on the status of a modifier key, different actions could be triggered (!!!)   similar add-on functionality could also boost standard platforms: - A user could specify a DEFAULT action in the preferences. If a user clicks on Subset, Summary, Tabulate, Graph Builder - holding SHIFT - the DEFAULT action is executed ... without any need to manually enter the settings. - with a control key, the action could be triggered with the RECALL settings.   other wishes from  ...

What inspired this wish list request? I would want to see just limited selection of rows in the data table but I currently have to subset the datatable to have a quick glance at the selection.     What is the improvement you would like to see? Add in a "hide in table" option for rows where the row itself does not appear in the data table, much like you can do with columns. This could work much like the filter options in excel.     Why is this idea important? I am often concerned with only viewing a small selection of my data in a data view "analysis" but I don't want it to be in its own data able as I am still using all the data in a global view in something like graph builder.  Also, anytime I can do something in a table without having to make a new table (less windows!) is always a win.     ...
