JMP Wish List

In an usual Single File import it is possible to set "Regional Setting" to avoid "Dot" or "Comma" issues with numerical values.   It would be great if that could be available for Import of Multiple-Files.   Thanks! Best regards, Tanja JMP 16.0.0 ... View more

Request to restrict the search function on the JMP help page (https://www.jmp.com/support/help/en/16.2/) by section.  For example, the user will be able to search only "Scripting Guide" or only "JSL Syntax Reference".   Currently, the search function will search all sections, which makes it difficult to find relevant information. ...

Idea: Add a comment/label to a constraint to describe it's function   Problem: It's common to share DOE's with colleagues, when they look at how the DOE was designed it's often very difficult to know what each constraint is trying to achieve   How solution works: Labelling each constraint will indicate the intention of each constraint ...

JMP may very well be my favorite program. 99% of things I absolutely love about it. One thing that constantly messes me up though is that I rarely use it to present if I can relatively easily use excel to do a similar graph. The reason is that it takes so long to get all of the fonts and formatting right. It's also not often clear which font refers to the word on a graph I'm trying to fix. I've often thought I wished something like the following features were available. 1) If I click on a word/number/symbol/etc, everyone would have a drop-down menu to change the font and associated attributes. To be sure, some categories do have this. But on graph builder I multiple times run into a few that I can't change. For example. In graph builder, the y and x categories can't be changed with a drop-down menu. Another example is a contour plot I'm currently making. I cannot do anything about the data labels for each contour line. They are both too small and overlap with the dots on the contour line so one can't see them. I can't find a solution to move them, and to change the font size I would have to go into preferences and generally change all uses of a specific font (ie. Text, Heading, etc). This brings me to my second thought. 2) Having multiple sets of preferences for different types of presentations would be useful. Sometimes I'm showing something on a computer, and every word needs to be massive for my aging boss who needs to squint to see small fonts. Other times however I'm presenting in a conference hall and have a 30-foot screen, and the font size to graph size ratio can be much lower. Having a set of presets that you can quickly choose without changing every setting globally would be really nice.   I'm not a developer so I really have zero ideas how hard this would be to implement. It seems that part of this would involve having text be able to be dynamically moved in and out of categories of fonts so one could uniquely change individual pieces of text or change all similar types of text inside a single plot (ie. all data labels for a single plot) or having a set of font presets for specific types of plots. It sounds like a complicated hierarchy of font presets that are also dynamical and maybe this is too difficult, in which case I completely understand.   Either way, JMP is my favorite program and this is more of a suggestion so that I can present it as well rather than a full-bodied criticism. Regardless of if this gets taken up or not, thanks for all the work y'all do on this program! ... View more

Scenario, I am doing several fits and have a grouping variable.  For example I have two F continuous variable and a single x variable grouped by a third. I want to end up with graphs side by side with each row one of the grouping values. I can do this by selecting arrange in rows, but I have 414 grouping values. If I use the command key to propagate the the selection I am presented with a new dialog box for each of the 414 grouping levels.   Option 1. Check box to apply to all and them I need to do it only once. Option 2. Checkbox to arrange in groups in the original fit set up dialog which will take the number of y variables as the grouping value and propagate.   Andy ... View more

Dear JMP members,   for my perspective, an interactive decision tree for an adequate application of statistical procedures would be helpful to enhance the quality of statistical analyses when using JMP. The intuitive interface of JMP does per se not prevent unexperienced users to select inadequate statistical procedures. An interactive decision tree, guiding this group of applicants smoothly through the selection procedures may be helpful in this conern. ... View more

Similar to the function in many computer applications, show the name of the color when a mouse hovers over it. Often times when I do data viz, folks ask for items to be certain color, and that is a bit of a challenge.  I am not color blind, but color deficient. Being able to read the difference between red / green, blue / purple...etc., would be helpful to meet the customer's needs :-D.     ... View more

Allow users to use a list with Select Rows platform. From time to time I have to do this and depending on what type of list I have, I use different approaches: script it, use join, create formula... and it would be helpful to be able to do it directly from menu.   User would have to be most able to copy and paste values from excel and jmp (and other possible lists). So might be helpful to allow user to also provide a format how the list should be formed. ... View more

I'd like to see two changes if possible: On the local data filter add in a button next to the red arrow that would clear the filtered item.  This is a frequently used option so not having to go into the red arrow for it would speed up user interactions. On graph builder, currently if you have a smoother or line element along with markers and the markers are not showing in the legend, when you try and change the smoother/line color it will change the marker color as well.  To get around this you must have the markers showing in the legend when you try and change the smoother/line color.  I'd like the functionality to be that if you right click a smoother/line element and change the color only the line would change.  However, if you select the element (and thus all the markers get selected as well) then when you right click to change the smoother/line color then the markers would change color as well. Thanks for considering these requests. Steve ... View more

From time to time it would be nice to build user-interfaces which allow user to change datatables which will be used (currently my solution to this, is to "never" add option to change data tables). To my knowledge, you currently will have to re-create filter col selector and col list box to change datatables they use.   This is what I think you have to do: Names Default To Here(1); dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Probe.jmp", invisible); dt1 = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp", invisible); dt2 = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Semiconductor Capability.jmp", invisible); close_dts = Expr( Try(Close(dt, no save)); Try(Close(dt1, no save)); Try(Close(dt2, no save)); ); change_table = Expr( cur_table = (lb << get selected)[1]; // this wont work on filter col box due to ifbox created by it clb << Delete Box(); vlb_clb << Append(clb = Col List Box(Datatable(cur_table), all, numeric, max selected(1), nlines(5), <<Modeling Type({"Continuous"}))); vlb_fcs << Delete Box(); // for some reason we also seem to need Datatable(Datatable()) vlb_vlb_fcs << Append(vlb_fcs = V List Box(fcs = Filter Col Selector(Datatable(Datatable(cur_table))))); ); nw = New Window("Col List Box Example", H List Box( lb = List Box(Get Data Table List(), change_table ), vlb_vlb_fcs = V List Box(vlb_fcs = V List Box(fcs = Filter Col Selector(Datatable(dt)))), vlb_clb = V List Box(clb = Col List Box(Datatable(dt), all, numeric, max selected(1), nlines(5), <<Modeling Type({"Continuous"}))), Button Box("Close", close_dts; nw << Close Window; ) ) ); Write(); This is how I would like it to be done: Names Default To Here(1); dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Probe.jmp", invisible); dt1 = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp", invisible); dt2 = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Semiconductor Capability.jmp", invisible); close_dts = Expr( Try(Close(dt, no save)); Try(Close(dt1, no save)); Try(Close(dt2, no save)); ); change_table = Expr( cur_table = (lb << get selected)[1]; fcs << Set Data Table(cur_table); clb << Set Data Table(cur_table); ); nw = New Window("Col List Box Example", H List Box( lb = List Box(Get Data Table List(), change_table ), fcs = Filter Col Selector(Datatable(dt)), clb = Col List Box(Datatable(dt), all, numeric, max selected(1), nlines(5), <<Modeling Type({"Continuous"})), Button Box("Close", close_dts; nw << Close Window; ) ) ); Write(); This would eliminate the need for unnecessary display boxes and make the reference changing much simpler. ...

☐ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☐ removes a „bug“ ☑ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it other wishes submitted by     The idea: if there is no unique identifier for virtual join -- add the possibility to define an aggregation to generate unique values.   no need to have a unique identifier for virtual joins anymore a default option for data aggregation ["median" would be cool, but just works for numbers; so the not so useful "N"?] + a possibility to define the aggregation individually for each column (like in the query builder) the benefit: the aggregation option makes the virtual join much more versatile the virtual join is almost as "dynamic" as the link functionality of summary table (<->  Query Builder) virtual links survive after the data is saved and re-opened (<-> link table) the disadvantage: the aggregation will slow down the virtal join.   the woraround: aggregation via summary table join via virtual link important: save as a script (to establish the dynamic link again after it got lost after saving the file) ...

Currently running JMP 15.1.0   In Graph Builder, can you please add a labels feature to Box plots, similar to the ones that exist for bars? I am having to add transparent bars with labels to work around this, which can be cumbersome to implement and script. The bars and their transparency settings also tends to misbehave when you have Overlay variables, local data filters, multiple axes, etc. Would be better to have labels built right in to the Box plots like for Bars, rather than trying to hack together an alternative. ...

☐ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☐ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☑ nobody needs it -> use Query builder.     Hi, when joining tables, it gets interesting when there are several rows with identical values to match. The standard approach: for the N idential values in the first table and M identical values in the second table, NxM rows are generated in the joined data table.   Another way is to use the "drop multiples" option. Then just the first row with the respective value makes it into the joined data table and the remaining rows are dropped.   my wish: an option to choose the aggregation method (one drop-down menu for each of the 2 tables)   possible options: the two existing ones: - no aggregation, NxM - take the first, drop the rest ... plus some of the aggregations that can be found in the Summary Table menu  (at least: N, mean, median, min, max, sum) A workaround: first, generate a summary table for one table - and then joint the summary table with table #2 -- or a summary table of table #2. another workaround: generate columns with the aggregated values first and then join the tables   but it would be really cool and convenient if this could be done directly via the join table menu ... ...
