JMP Wish List

As computing has advanced, I've gone from 1 core to 2 cores to 4 cores... to 64 threads on my workstation. Meanwhile .jsl has effectively remained single threaded. I know some platforms will utilize all threads, but I'd like to be able to farm out simple jsl operations at will to multiple threads. For example, if I have a script which operates row-wise on 10,000,000 rows of data, if I'm iterating by row in a for loop and I know each row's result is independent of the other rows, I'd like to split that operation into 64 asynchronous for loops, pause other execution while the 64 loops complete in parallel, then move back to a single threaded, synchronous script after all are complete, much like I would in .py with Pool() and poolObject.join. ...

Fit model allows the user to set up and launch an analysis but not close the launch window.  This is useful when iterating through many versions of a model.  Add this check box (but leave it unchecked by default) to every platform. ... View more

I have to have multiple JMP versions installed at the same time, and from time to time I get confused which version I'm currently running. I can always check it from About menu or create an addin which will tell me the version + product, but I would rather use icons for that.  Currently I have three different JMP versions in "active" use (even more versions installed...). I have pinned them to taskbar and changed the icons but with the current icon selection I cannot choose to show the current version, differentiate between pro/non-pro or if the JMP is EA product.    Current icon selection JMP16 Pro:   My current selections to help me make a difference between different versions: JMP15 JMP16 Pro JMP17 EA   ...

I would like the quoted string in the :Name() function to be an element that JMP evaluates, rather than just being a quoted string.  I would like the below script to work names default to here(1); dt=current data table(); thename="NPN1"; bivariate(x(:Name(thename)),y(:Pnp1)) ... View more

Hi,   Could it be possible to implement a new function for encrypt and decrypt multiple files ? A way to encrypt or decrypt multiple files which have the same password. Could be very interesting.   Thanks Regards Guillaume ... View more

JMP currently does not have the capability of complex survey analysis. In sas survey analysis is done using several Proc survery___ procedures (surveymeans, surveyfreq, surveylogistic, surveyreg, surveyphreg) and I wish that JMP had such capabilities at least in future. These should take into account complex survey design including several stratums, clusters, and weights. ... View more

It would be nice to have Tolerance Interval and 3sigma Error Bars in the Points Element of Graph Builder when the Summary Statistic is the Mean.   Similarly to "Set alpha Level" the "Proportion to Cover" could be selected via the red triangle menu. Instead of having only 3sigma Intervals one might have k-sigma Intervals and supply k via the red triangle menu as well.   There may be ways to calculate such intervals first and then use report tables in Graph Builder to construct intervals from lower and upper limits, but via the Points Element it would be much faster and it would be easily possible to show raw data and e.g. tolerance intervals for these data at the same time.     ...

In print preview it's only possible to fit to one page. If you have a huge evaluation it's not so nice. There needs to be also a funktion fit to with  of the page and then for multiple pages.   Or direktly create graphs that always fits into letter/A4 or what is set as preference.   JMP is nice to work but not so nice for dokumentation if other don't have JMP...   best regards Splerin ...

It would be extremely helpful to have a built in function to convert a time stamp between time zones using the tz database (more info: https://data.iana.org/time-zones/tz-link.html and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tz_database).  I regularly need to convert time stamps from one time zone to another, but can't simply apply an offset, but it is time consuming to have to look up the offsets to convert the time stamp.  Additionally, there is extra work required since certain locations have daylight saving time and others don't, and daylight saving time start/end dates are location specific.   This function could be something like this:   ConvertTimeZone( ts, tzFrom, tzTo ) //ts is the time stamp will be converted from tzFrom to tzTo //example ConvertTimeZone( 05May2022:19:31:07, "UTC", "America/Los_Angeles" ) //result: 05May2022:12:31:07     Ideally, all datetime values would be changed to contain the time zone, and be set to default of UTC, if not specified.   Each time zone should use the TZ database name (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones), as is used in other programming languages (e.g.: Python).   Here is a question about this issue: https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Time-zone-conversion/m-p/331514#M58032   For a very humorous description of the time zone issue, watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5wpm-gesOY&t=3s. It is 10 minutes long, but well worth the *time* (pardon the pun). ... View more

I would love if the JMP table format were open.  As in I could build a jmp table from pwsh/python (or whatever) from scratch.  I have two use cases   make my pipeline more efficient so that I don't have to wait for a JMP machine to open up to do some backend pre-processing while still having all of the wonderful features of JMP when I'm ready for it.     I am currently doing this by having JMP run some stuff on a machine that just preprocesses, but JSL isn't built to handle this.  interactive html isn't up to what I need it to do for everything so being able to read a jmp table to make some custom web frontend stuff would be useful   Obviously I could just use a csv for data, or switch everything over to another language.  But being able to read/write the jmp data format directly would make a world of difference.  ...

A nice enhancement to the Excel import utility would be to have the Excel row numbers and column labels displayed in the import preview.  It is easy for me to go into excel and see that headers are in rows 8,  data in rows 9-XX, and columns are A-J, but then translating that to the settings in the importer requires some arithmetic in my head.   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Encrypted scripts with only a "Decrypt Password" can be used to hide passwords or algorithm which needs to be hidden from experienced users. Our usage would be to create a build task for a JMP add-in which adds a password from an external source into a JSL script and encrypts the script file. What we need is a method to programmatically encrypt the script file but JSL scripts can only be created using the menu interface "Edit/Encrypt Script...".   What is the improvement you would like to see?  - Either there should be a JSL command that allows to encrypt a script with a decrypt password. - Or a documentation is provided how the encryption can be achieved externally e.g. using Powershell, C++ or other languages.   The encrypted code looks like //-e12.1 0, <length>,<encrypted> ,0, It should be documented with which methods <encrypted> can be created and what the other parameters are.   Why is this idea important?  The automatic encryption of scripts allows to separate the code from the passwords during the build process. The passwords can be stored separately, then our automated build process would insert the password in the script code and creates the encrypted code file for the add-in.   @martindemel  ...

What inspired this wish list request? Thanks for updating the interactive HTML output (File > Export >  Interactive HTML with data) in JMP for sharing results with colleagues! I use it many times and it really is a great feature! When I create a scatterplot matrix based on simulated data I like to filter my data. I can do this also within the HTML file output with the mouse by drawing a rectangle across the data points.     What is the improvement you would like to see? It would be much more intuitive to do this via the Local Data Filter. This feature is however not interactive in the HTML output. Could you fix that?     Why is this idea important?  Easier data & result sharing; onboarding new people to JMP       ... View more

☐ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☐ removes a „bug“ ☑ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it     In Mathematica, one can use "%" as a placeholder for the last returned value. Could you please implement something similar in JSL? Could help during debugging: Run single lines of the original code, add some test code important: don't mess up the original code lines, but instead: get access to the return values via the placeholder . Aditional benefit: work gets focused on "forward direction": Ah, there is some returned value, how to continue and get most out of it ... instead of  How do I have to change the previous code to get access to the returned value.     Names Default to Here(1); dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" ); dt << Graph Builder( Size( 437, 413 ), Graph Spacing( 4 ), Variables( X( :height ), Y( :weight ), Overlay( :sex ) ), Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 1 ) ), Smoother( X, Y, Legend( 2 ) ) ) ); // during debugging: gb = %;(gb << XPath( "//AxisBox" )) << select;// or even better: gb << get XML(); New Window("xml", %) https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/placeholder-for-the-last-returned-value/m-p/568699         more wishes submitted by   ...

I've got a couple of wants for the table box() functionality.     1) make cells colorable natively without <<Get As Report so tables don't have to be remade   2) give custom table boxes similar meta information so the user can use the native Make into combined data table functionality and if multiple tables have the same information, it can extract other infomation             For instance: allow all of these to somehow have the ages attached to them without having to hide columns and make custom "make into combined data table" functionalities Names Default to Here(1); dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA\Big Class.jmp"); Summarize(ages = by(:age)); hlb = hlistbox(); for(i=1, i<=nitems(ages), i++, rows = dt << Get Rows Where(char(Column(dt, "age")[]) == ages[i]); tblbox = Tablebox( StringColBox("Sex", dt:sex[rows] ), StringColBox("Name", dt:name[rows] ) ); hlb << append( OutlineBox(ages[i], tblbox ) ) ); new window("Test", hlb ); 3) Allow row specific borders, for instance if I were to make a data table of big class I might want to put a line between each age set 4) Allow tables to be stacked upon each other more easily.  Right now if I want to make a row at the bottom of a table that has sums columns, I have to do a whole bunch of preprocessing to figure out column withs then effectively make two tables.  5) have "Make into data table" take ColSpanBox() into consideration when naming columns from a tablebox, currently it just names it the final column header    A lot of this might be more easily solved using something like tabulate but I've had different problems when Trying to use that.   ...
