JMP Wish List

☐ 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?  Displaying images on hover over on JMP Graphs is useful but it can be cumbersome to display multiple images at the same time.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see new pre-determined Hover Label just for images/pictures. We have Label Viewer but it has very strict format in which it displays the labels (maybe this could be added to label viewer, but I think maybe having new "Image Label Viewer" might be also a good thing)   If there is single row With multiple rows   I would like to be able to choose between horizontal/vertical/grid layouts. Using the examples above this is very simplified example (only for single rows but if needed I can create examples for how it could behave for multirows) Horizontal layout   Vertical (basically what we already have) Grid with width of 2 Grid with width of 3: Why is this idea important?  Makes it much easier to utilize images in hover labels without scripting.     One more thing to add to to my increasing list of "create add-in of this". ...

What inspired this wish list request?  When automating repetitive work I often manually perform the steps and check the Log to see what the equivalent JSL is.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see the Log show the equivalent JSL message when I change an axis label name.    Why is this idea important?  This will allow users to automate and write JSL without google searching.   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  I sometimes have many JMP instances open at once, in order to sandbox the different scripts I am running. When opening a new instance of JMP, it takes 4 seconds to load.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to have the time it takes to load a new JMP Instance decreased from 4 to <1 sec. One way this might be done is if JMP had a pool of instances ready to go that are hidden from user until a new instance is requested.   Why is this idea important?  This will improve the user experience.   ...

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.     ...

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

What inspired this wish list request?  (1) From 'Functional DOE Profiler' feacture in Functional Data Explorer in JMP Pro, I would like to see   (1-1) Confidence Intervals   and   (1-2) Interactive HTML file export from the profiler   (2) From 'Model Comparison' in JMP Pro,    (2-1) 'Model Averaging' (Ensemble) result showed a fixed RSquare (1.00) and RASE (0.00). I think it's a bug.     (2-2) Shelf made 'Ensemble model' that is formulated from other models (Least Squares, Partial Least Squares, SVEM Lasso, XGBoost, Neural Turned with different weight) also showed a fixed RSquare (1.00) and RASE (0.00) value in Model Comparison results.    What is the improvement you would like to see?

JMP 18, if we give access to JMP for our users via JMP authorization portal, an eMail with a download link is sent out. This yields confusion since users in BASF should use BASF internal installation routines to install JMP, not your link!   It would be very helpful to have the opportunity to activate/deactivate that eMail from company JMP to our users.     ...

What inspired this wish list request? As a Software Administrator in a University environment we manage affiliates that come and go so we would need a way to bulk remove said users. Currently you have to manually select the users to remove them.   What is the improvement you would like to see? Use the same function for adding user, allow the option to upload a CSV to remove users.   Why is this idea important? This is a must have for a EDU environment, as I stated above our affiliates come and go and we are limited to the total number of users we can add so this has the potential to become an administrative nightmare.     ...

What inspired this wish list request?  The limitation of column switcher, that we cannot have same column used in multiple roles without running in all sorts of issues.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see new switcher which would allow me to change the columns used in Roles instead of columns. You define which role in your report you wish to modify selections for, you select which columns include in that switcher and then it would work in similar manner as column switcher WITHOUT the worry that there would be collisions as those would be allowed.   Why is this idea important?  It would allow us to swap columns used for different roles without worry that the column is already used in other role at the same time.   This could maybe be combined with New filter "Column Filter" a combination of Local Data Filter and Column Switcher (better name for that suggestion could be for example Role Switcher or Column Quick Swapper like I did rename the add-in) ...

☐ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☑ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  this community discussion : Graph Builder: Unclear statistics when using multiple response columns    @gnu23 wrote: I think the discussion boils down to the question, if statistics on multiple response columns should generally either use the number of responses (standard now in JMP) or the number of rows as 'n'. In my opinion the second option would make more sense for many use cases and an option to switch between these two values for 'n' would increase the (already very nice) functionality of multiple response columns.     The default statistics in Graph Builder for counts and percentage, is (*):  "one row counts one - Ntotal (denominator for percentages) is the number of rows". [This statistics can be adjusted via the Freq/Weight drop zone.]   Surprising: If a column with modeling type "multiple response" is used ANYWHERE in the graph, the statistics changes to "one response counts one [OK] Ntotal (denominator for percentages) is number of responses" [maybe: not OK].   So, to generate meaningful bar charts on the porcelain layer, it seems that on the plumbing layer Jmp  stacks the individual responses, creating additional "rows", and then applies the standard logic (*) For simple bar charts, this might be reasonable, but for Ntotal and the calculated percentages it leads to funny/strange effects.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please provide a more meaningful statistics for Multiple Response (e.g. as an alternative to the current version): "one response counts one But: denominator for percentages (Ntotal) is the number of rows contributing to the plot - like in standard Graph Builder"   on the plumbing layer one might think of: Any column with multiple responses is split into "indicator columns", representing each response - the number of rows stays constant. This approach is much closer to the default Statistics in Graph Builder. As a side effect, this alternative approach will also fix a bug which shows up if multiple columns with modelling type "multiple response" are used in one graph: https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Graph-Builder-Unclear-statistics-when-using-multiple-response/m-p/754313/highlight/true#M93647    Why is this idea important?  a) Meaningful statistics. b) no misleading statistics anymore for users who don't "notice"      other wishes from  ...

What inspired this wish list request?  An interaction plot is a great tool for beginners, which also offers an overview of confounding. Interaction-plot is implemented in the tool "fit model", but newcomers will mainly use the graph menu. For a simple case of two X's, it can be easily created in the graph builder but it will be harder for more than 2 X's.      What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please, implement "interaction plot" according to the tool "fit model" within the graph menu. An option could be, that x and y could be selected and the complete 2-way interaction matrix will be created.      Why is this idea important?  It is necessary to understand interactions. There is no need to create a model to understand interactions. Until now interaction plots are hidden in "fit model" and it should be more visible especially for beginners. A specific item "interaction plot" in the graph menu would be very helpful.     ... View more

☐ 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?  Outline close orientation for column switcher issue      What is the improvement you would like to see?  Enhanced log/Workflow Builder  should be aware of the outline close orientation and the horizontal (0/1) settings specified in a report.     Why is this idea important?  If a user generates a report and re-creates it via auto-generated Script / Workflow Builder / Dashboard Builder, the report should look the same.   other wishes from  ...

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? The need to automate JSL encryption     What is the improvement you would like to see? 1) A way to get around the login requirements when running tasks without direct user interaction. 2) A stand-alone package (DLL, etc) that can be called outside JMP completely but which can encrypt the file with JMPs proprietary encryption algorithm -- this would also make it easier to encrypt as an automated deployment of tools without the need of stand alone computers.   Why is this idea important? I have desktop computer I use to run some automated tasks in JMP with - typically with windows scheduler. With the new method of logins with JMP 18, if I log into another PC (assuming the desktop is the 2nd one currently logged into) I will have to re-log into the desktop or the scheduled tasks will fail. JMP 18 is also the first version where the JSL encryption function works correctly so that automated encryption is possible. Why does it need to be automated? It's part of the deployment of JMP addins from github where the code is created in github but when packaged it would be encrypted so the end user wouldn't have access.   ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  There has been a shift in my field to reporting RR instead of OR. I'll be submitting a manuscript with aORs but am anticipating a review that asks for aRR instead.   What is the improvement you would like to see? Add an option in the drop-down fro Nominal Logistic Fit to perform Risk Ratios, to return results exactly like the current Odds Ratios option provides.   Why is this change important? In addition to the basic statistical reasoning for RR vs OR, I need this to publish manuscripts. ... View more

What inspired this wish list request? I was working with @Jordan_Hiller on making a PDF of some text data as the current way I had to make the output required printing a datatable to a PDF printer which wasn't as robust as I wanted:   However, it looks like there is no way to easily get text to wrap in the Journal we output the datatable to using this JSL: wajrn = Data Table( "Data table" ); wajrn << journal; jrn=Current Journal(); jrn <<Set page setup( margins( .1, .1, .1, .1 ), scale( .6 ), portrait( 0 ), paper size( "Letter" ) ); jrn <<Save PDF("G:\\Charts to print\text.pdf");  Below is a snippet of the Journal output of the datatable and I can change the width of the column but not the rows and there is no way to set a wrap function. So need to be able to wrap the Colbox and have the row size to fit the text.   There is a work around through JSL but it is more cumbersome as seen in this post: https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/How-to-Set-Cell-Height-or-Text-Wrapping-in-a-Table-Box/td-p/42569 [community.jmp.com]   What is the improvement you would like to see? Ability to have colboxes wrap text and auto size the row width so all text is showing     Why is this idea important?  Sending out reports through JMP is becoming more important, especially with JMP live being able to run daily reporting activities.  Making sure that analysis that outputs text can be conveyed without losing text information allows users to stay in JMP vs having to save out to excel and build additional macros and reports as an additional step.     ...

What inspired this wish list request? This is a repeat request but wanted to move it back up the line due to the new graph features in JMP 18.  With the ability to "stack" charts using the "page" chart element in graph builder, there is now no easy way to broadcast using gridlines in the Y axis across multiple graph panels.  If I want to gridlines to these charts I have to do them one at a time: If I try and broadcast the gridlines then the axis min/max and intervals get broadcast as well, negating the usefulness of the "stacking".   Here is the original request.   Global preference suggestions for more flexibility and efficiency in graphs - JMP User Community     What is the improvement you would like to see? Please allow the X and Y axis grid settings to be turned on in the preferences independently.       Why is this idea important?  It allows more chart flexibility and makes the new graph type in JMP 18 Graph Builder more useful   ...
