JMP Wish List

What inspired this wish list request?  JMP has long been very clicky, and the UX can be improved.  When you “Fill to row XX” a window pops up and you key in the row number. If you hit the enter key, JMP does nothing. So, you have to grab your mouse and click OK.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please make this pop up window accept the ENTER key to close that window.   Why is this idea important?  JMP users in a corporate environment often do repetitive tasks, just to get the data to a process-able table.  Any small improvements are beneficial.   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Right now, when performing a recurrence analysis on one system, I still need to include a column in the "Label, System ID" role. There are some times where I would like to build an NHPP model on one a data set for only one system, but I still need to include a role here. The workaround is that I create a dummy column that just says "System1", but that is a pain. What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see a check box in the options that says, "Only one system", which would then disable that role so that it's not required anymore.  Why is this idea important?  Creating a dummy column just so I can use this tool is a hassle and needless extra work.   ...

☑ 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?  Binning continuous data in JMP typically creates an additional formula column. For tables with many measurement columns, this leads to many additional columns for information that logically belongs to the original columns. A common example is classifying measurements as Pass/Fail or Below Spec/In Spec/Above Spec. The raw values, specification limits, and derived classes are closely related, but JMP currently stores them separately. What is the improvement you would like to see?  Allow a binning definition to be stored as a Column Property of the original column. The column would retain its continuous values while also providing a dynamically derived binned representation, without creating new columns. JMP platforms could let users switch between Raw Values and Binned Values or use both representations in different roles, for example raw values on Y and bins as Color. Presets could include Pass/Fail, Below Spec/In Spec/Above Spec using the column’s existing Spec Limits, quantiles, and custom bins. Just have a look @ @Jeff_Perkinson 's Custom Binning Tool. With the new implementation, we can use the same tool, but the settings are linked to the source column  - and the results are stored with the source column. - No hiccups when merging tables! - Changes to the binning definition or Spec Limits will automatically update dependent analyses.   A logical future extension would be support for multiple named binning definitions that can be switched when needed.   Why is this idea important?  Embedded binning would prevent column proliferation, keep the classification logic inherently connected to its source data, and eliminate ambiguity about which derived column belongs to which measurement. It would make it easier to switch plots between continuous and categorical views, calculate yield directly, apply consistent colors and ordering, and maintain analyses when limits or binning rules change. Just imagine how useful the new approach will be in combination with Column Switcher! AI likes the idea:   ... View more

このウィッシュリストのリクエストは何がきっかけだったのですか? 「Y項目数 43個」＆「BYでの5項目層別」グラフ行列折れ線グラフを作ろうとしたらフリーズした。 30分ほど放置してようやく描画。 グラフをスクロールしようとするとまた止まって、”応答なし”の表示 挙句の果てにホワイトアウト ホワイトアウト復帰後も同じことの繰り返し。 仕方が無いのでJMPを強制終了 重ね合わせプロット（同じく「Y項目数 43個」＆「BYでの5項目層別」）は描画まで19秒 スクロールもスムーズ 話になりません。   グラフビルダーで別の不具合もう一件。 「前回の設定」が機能しない。   どのような改善を望んでいますか? 　重ね合わせプロットの復活 「前回の設定」が機能するように修正   なぜこの考え方が重要なのでしょうか? アイデア グラフビルダーが使い物にならないから。 こんなお体たらくで、重ね合わせプロットを廃止したのはおかしい。   ...

What inspired this wish list request? The ruler tool is very useful on graph , but with the addition of autoscaling/inability to turn of its usefulness is serious degraded     What is the improvement you would like to see? Ability for user to toggle autoscaling on and off for ruler tool so can meet the needed precision. Precision requirements do not automatically scale down with distance in all settings.   Why is this idea important? Currently, functionality of ruler tool is lost as can not see radius/ pt to pt distance with precision needed.     ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  I need check Wafer maps every day and update data table for wafer signature manually. Although most of info is already available in my data table still need to input all info manually.    What is the improvement you would like to see?  We got an option in Graph builder as below :  Rows > Name  Selection in Column      Name Selection Window allow to input a Column Name in Top Field and category name in Mid Field (Selected) and Bottom Field  Field (unselected). I need keep updating the Existing file which already have these values. Together with manually inputting values in these field, I would like to have an option to populate the column names available in data table as drop down list in Column Name (Top Field)  to select one of the interested one. In Mid field (Selected), populate the available category from data table under selected column name.  If this feature could be available next to Wafer Map that will be extremely helpful. Like a check box next to every maps in Graph Builder grid and manually click some maps check boxes and allow the same feature to work as described above.     Why is this idea important?   I need check Wafer maps and update data table for signature.  This will allow me to reduce manually updating data table every day and reduce manual error occurs during inputting values in Name Selection in Column Window.    ...

What inspired this wish list request?  The current version of JMP available to us does not allow performing an Accuracy Profile (β‑expectation tolerance interval), which is a key statistical approach used in analytical method validation. As a result, it is currently difficult or not possible to properly assess total error by combining bias and precision in a single, regulatory‑accepted framework. Example use case: During validation of a quantitative analytical method (e.g. HPLC or bioanalytical assay), multiple measurements are generated across several concentration levels and analytical runs. Regulatory guidelines (such as SFSTP, EMA, or ICH Q2) recommend the use of the Accuracy Profile to demonstrate that the method is valid across the intended concentration range. With the current JMP version, these calculations and visualizations cannot be generated directly, requiring manual calculations or external tools, which are time‑consuming and prone to error.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to have access to a newer version of JMP that includes the built‑in Accuracy Profile platform, allowing users to: Compute β‑expectation tolerance intervals Visualize bias and uncertainty against acceptance limits Model intra‑ and inter‑series variability Automatically generate validation‑ready graphs and statistics   Why is this idea important?  This improvement is important because it directly supports regulatory compliance, data integrity, and efficiency. Value for users: Enables compliance with current analytical validation guidelines Reduces the risk of calculation or transcription errors Saves significant time compared with manual processing Improves confidence during audits and inspections Overall, having access to the Accuracy Profile in JMP is a must‑have capability for users involved in analytical method development and validation.   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  The SQL Console is only available for certain Data Connectors. The SQL console is not available when making a ODBC connection to Databricks using the Simba Spark ODBC driver.      What is the improvement you would like to see?  Enable SQL console when making a ODBC connection to Databricks using the Simba Spark ODBC driver to allow the user to input SQL from Databricks   Why is this idea important?  Our organization uses Databricks heavily as its data warehouse and analytics platform. QueryBuilder doesn't support the advanced queries we regularly use and it is much easier to write and test queries in Databricks' SQL platform then in JSL. Often I stay in Databricks rather than moving over to JMP for data analysis even though I would prefer to do so.    ... View more

What inspired this wish list request? Answering to the topic Re: How do orthogonal axis values change with the number of center points? - JMP User Community, I have created several orthogonal blocks CCD. However, when I try to run the "Evaluate design" script from the design table, the script does nothing. When using the Evaluate design platform, I have an error message : So evaluation of orthogonal blocks CCD is by default facing an error/bug when the design table is created.    What is the improvement you would like to see? The fix was quite easy to found: for the block factor, the value of the column property "RunsPerBlock" is set to 0 by default, which makes the Evaluate design platform bug. When setting the value to the value displayed during design creation (in the screenshot 6), then the script 'Evaluate design" from the design table and the Evaluate design platform can work normally:   Creating the Orthogonal Blocks CCD for 3 factors and Block size = 6 In the block factor column, RunsPerBlock is set by default to 0, hence the bug. When I change the value to 6, the script "Evaluate design" works normally:   Why is this idea important? I haven't tested extensively all orthogonal blocks CCDs to check if this bug was always present, but it's present for at least Orthogonal Blocks CCD from 2 to 5 factors. Fixing this bug should not be a big issue, the fix is easy to find.   ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  We do have lots of different handlers (which work or not and are useful or not with the current implementations... but that is separate wish list item which already exists) but there isn't one for reports. One case which is most common for me is that user modifies how graph builder looks like and I would like to trigger something based on that.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see a new handler for reports. This handler would trigger when user makes changes to the report. Some examples: Columns have changes in some role Frame sizes have changed Title was changed Axis min/max value changed ...   Why is this idea important?  Allows easier access to changes in JMP reports for scripters. Current you have to use all sorts of weird workarounds to even attempt to replicate something like this. ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  Having a custom new window which used multiple data tables for reports and I couldn't freely choose which table was associated data.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Let as choose which data table is used as associated data table in a new window (at least for Type("Report") windows). In best case Associated Data could even have multiple items and user could select from a list which to bring front. This would require slight change to the icon (add down arrow next to it like "Select for Arrange" has).   Why is this idea important?  Makes "View Associated Data" somewhat useful for windows which have multiple reports.   I do have a workaround for this in this post What determines which data table is seen as "Associated Data" for New Window? which I never got answer to.   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  I am working with multiple import of excel sheets from various users and some are applying filters to have the required informations. However I want to import all data of the files in an automated way.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  It happens that hidden and filtered rows are handled differently in excel and JMP 18. It would be good to have a "<<Set Excel Suppress Filtered Rows( 0 )," so all excels don't need to be checked to be sure no filters are applied before running the automation.      Why is this idea important?  This is important in the aim of automatization of data from team or group when not all people have JMP and use filtered specific excel files. If you want to recover all data from these files and not only the prefered ones of each usersto avoid bias in your data analysis     ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?    When you click on a report various things happen including that a datatable associated with it may become current.  I recently experienced some cases where I would like a different data table to be current in that case but I can't currently specify anything to happen when a report is clicked on.   What is the improvement you would like to see?    An OnActivate ability for a new window that would be similar to OnClose, OnOpen or OnValidate.  This would be for when a window gets focus and comes to the top as happens when a user clicks the title bar.  JMP does things in this case and this OnActivate would happen after those things.  That way OnActivate could override what table JMP decided to make current and would generally have the last word on what happens.     Why is this idea important?    The cases I noticed were for reports with live plots where more than one table was involved or where the tables involved were private tables that can't themselves be made current.  JMP support encouraged me to make this wish list request (case number below). Through my case with them I learned some of what JMP will do when a report is clicked on the upshot was that for complex reports with multiple tables involved it can be complicated and may be difficult to guarantee that it will make a particular choice.   I also think there may be other useful things one might want to do "OnActivate" (maybe there are displays that could be refreshed in that case for example, and it just seems like a logical extension of the available functions.   ...

☐ 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?  Insert Into automatically "flattens" the expression if the Head of the first and second argument are the same - causing some JMP Expr() weirdness . For lists the automatic flattening  might be OK ... let's say for 60% of the use cases - but it "hurts" for the remaining ones. And for all the other (non-list) cases it's actually NOT what the user wants.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please add an option flatten(0|1) to Insert Into.     Why is this idea important?  less JSL weirdness →  happy users : )   other wishes from  ...

☑ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☑ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  In Semiconductor industry, one often has to "flip" a wafermap - e.g. to generate a bottom view. or more often: to flip a bottom view to a top view (so that colleagues don't have to bend their heads to understand the map)   Unfortunately, in Graph builder, with shape mode, it's not possible to flip the plot: Graph builder - reverse Y scale (only)?    What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please provide an option to flip a plot   options: a) by just reversing one axis scale b) by allowing negative values for aspect ratios     Why is this idea important?    more wishes from      ...

What inspired this wish list request?  JMP has made a range of machine learning algorithms readily available - a major deficiency in most of these is the lack of uncertainty measures for predictions, particularly for classification models.  There are a number of tools available for assessing model accuracy (e.g., ROC curves, confusion matrices, etc.) but few for assessing the uncertainty in the predictions.  Unlike classical statistical models (where there is an assumed error structure), the degree of uncertainty in the predictions is often lacking.  Conformal prediction appears to be a relatively straightforward way to provide this for a variety of machine learning methods.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see the conformal prediction capability attached to any of the classification modeling methods employed in JMP.  The resulting output should show (for classification models) the predicted classification sets, including an indeterminate set where the desired level of certainty cannot be assured.      Why is this idea important?  Conformal prediction has been around for at least 20 years, but is hindered (in my opinion) by an unnecessarily mathematical description of the technique.  I think it is more straightforward than as typically presented.  I also think it is a nonparametric technique for quantifying uncertainty in predictions - sorely needed as machine learning models are increasingly used.  The lack of quantifying predictive uncertainty (rather than just accuracy) limits the usefulness of these methods, and potentially makes their application misguided (yielding predictions where there may be little to distinguish between observations that can reliably be predicted from those for which it cannot.  For one reference, see https://arxiv.org/pdf/2107.07511.pdf.     ...
