JMP Wish List

What inspired this wish list request? Unable to upload .SPC files.     What is the improvement you would like to see? Be able to upload .SPC files.     Why is this idea important? SPC files are a common file type associated with IR, Raman and UV/Vis data. More info on the .SPC file can be found via the Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPC_file_format     ... View more

What inspired this wish list request? We currently use Statistica to send out emails when there is an out of control data point and we are able to embed the image of the control chart into the body of the email.  I also have daily reports I make in JMP that I save out a PDF and then have to manually grab each morning and email out to user groups.  If I am out unexpectedly this causes issues for user groups that rely on my reports.    What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see the ability to have JMP Live allow embedding of Images and attaching of files.  This would be a feature to use for control chart alarming but also as a stand alone feature to send out a file to a user group from any analysis.   Why is this idea important?  Many users either only have access to their email (such as being on their phone way from a computer) or need to be able to print an output from JMP to post in their manufacturing areas.  By allowing automatic file generation AND Distibution this will greatly enhance the ability of Engineers to automate routine tasks as well as expand the use of JMP for enterprise systems and eliminate the need to use something like PowerBI for Manufactuing reports and SPC. ...

What inspired this wish list request?  I have a lot of toolbars and organizing and editing them can become challenging.     What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like to see that if you right click on a toolbar icon you can go right to its edit screen.  I would also like to see that when you hover over the three dots on a toolbar "grouping" and the directional arrow pops up that the name of the toolbar grouping would show (this would make it easier to know which icons are in what group vs having to interrogate the toolbar list menu).   Why is this idea important?  Toolbars are an amazing efficiency gain but once you start to get more than a few going the Maintenance of them becomes an efficiency drag.     ...

What inspired this wish list request?  My group has a JMP Live data table that refreshes daily using a refresh script. This script uses PI tags to pull data from our PI servers. Currently all of the tags (roughly 500 of them) are in a list at the beginning of the refresh script that is used to make the data pull. In addition to the tags themselves, there are also lists with information about the tags (Name, pull method, grouping information, etc).   Because of the list format, it is incredibly cumbersome to add or modify tags and it is also more prone to error. It would be nice if there was another table hosted in JMP Live that had all of the tag data we currently have stored in lists. We could then reference this table in our main data table's refresh script to get all the information we need. This would reduce the size and complication of our script and allow us to have a centralized list of tags.   What is the improvement you would like to see? The ability to reference other data tables that are hosted in JMP Live from a JMP Live refresh script     Why is this idea important?  It would allow for streamlined refresh scripts as well as a level of interactivity between JMP Live data tables.   ...

I had chances to use the Artificial Intelligence on different topics: conclusions from tecnical reports, multi-languages interactions, data investigations. In this moment JMP Application is very powerfull with a big possibility on data analysis and data visualization. Due to this high numbers of opportunities and features... in some case (from my experiences) there is some "brain" barrier in the persons... because they want to do something (analysis/visualizations)...but they have not the correct background to do it... and then the are "scared" to use JMP.  In addition, we have more and more cross-language interaction and the co-work can be limitate from different languages.   What is the improvement you would like to see? It could usefull to have integreted in JMP an AI (Artificial Intelligences) that as co-pilot can help the users in very simple way (for data analysis,  data conclusions data visualization and text) Example 1: I have a data table -> in a text editor prompt I write: "Are my data normal?" (in different languages) -> output: written ->yes because in the normality test p-value is > 0.05 or graphics (data distribution, normality test, p-value, conclusion); Example 2: I performed some analysis with some output -> in a text editor prompt I write: "give me the same analysis in Chinese" Example 3: I have 2 data set- >in a text editor prompt I write: the average of the 2 samples is comparable? -> in automatic way there is the selction of the correct test and generate the simple output; Example 4: I have data from past experience... in a text editor prompt I write simple: which are the real signficatve variable for my output... Examble 5: I can interact (input) with JMP: by writing, by voice (using PC microphone), by file (.jpg, ...)    Why is this idea important?  1) increase the JMP Application usage also to a big group of person with no high statistical background knowledge; 2) Speed up dramatically the analysis/conclusions... for solution identfication... and reduce the time for benefit implementation; 3) remove languages barriers... increse the WW Cowork... more change to have JMP as a Standard tool spread in the World 4) Analysis by Analysis in a Organization/Company... the past experience is not lost... all analysis/concusions/visualization can move in a "big basket"/"data lake" and used/reused for next evaluations     ...

As a JMP Partner in Brazil, I teach people how to use JMP to solve problems using data, and I’ve received some feedback on the language options available within JMP. While multiple languages are supported, Portuguese is not yet one of them. Including Portuguese would be a significant step toward expanding the JMP community in Latin America. Brazil is a huge market with tremendous potential! Although there are thousands of JMP users here, not all are fluent in English or Spanish. Our competitors’ software includes Portuguese support, which often makes it the preferred choice for some users. Adding a Portuguese option would greatly benefit the JMP community and increase adoption across Brazil. Thanks! ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  The search bar in the Data Filter clears any previous selections.  This makes multiple selections from long lists of many levels really tedious; you have to scroll through the entire list to make your selections.     What is the improvement you would like to see? The search bar in the Data Filter should not clear your previous selections.   Why is this idea important? This feature would enable easy & fast multiple selections from long lists.  I'd like to use it to select ingredients from a standardized list of all of our raw materials that would feed a DOE factors table.  This way, scientists are all using the same names/identifiers for ingredients in their DOEs.  Without this feature, I'd have to build a bespoke tool & JSL scripts to do this.         ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Platform Presets in JMP 18 and 19 EA are powerful tools to apply consistent styling to reports. However, they lack a feature that has been a consistent part of the JMP experience: holding ctrl does not broadcast the preset to all similar report instances in the current window.     What is the improvement you would like to see? When applying a preset to a plot, report, etc, I should be able to hold the ctrl key and broadcast the preset to all similar reports in the same window. This would address instances like multiple Ys in the same Fit Curve analysis, multiple By groups in a fit model, or any other instance where the same platform exists multiple times.     Why is this idea important?  Consistency in styling and content is important for reports, and the Platform Presets lose a lot of value if they aren't applied evenly. Broadcasting is an effective and efficient way to do this. ... View more

What inspired this wish list request? I was using the simulator platform in the Profiler to run a simulation experiment and I needed to change a bunch of the factors to normal truncated.  This took a lot longer than it should have as I had to change each manually.   What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like to see the ability to set the distribution types and the Distibution parameters from a reference data table.     Why is this idea important? For more complicated column types in the Simulate model or for trying to experiment quickly with different process factor behaviors this will greatly increase user speed and platform ease.     ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Creating complicated formulas which would be extremely simple by being able to calculate them in subset.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Let us add formulas to linked subsets which would then provide the values back to the original table. If the row is not in linked subset all the values should be empty and otherwise they should be calculated based on the linked subset. We can do this basically without formulas, if we add index column and update values back to the main table but formulas makes it more visible what is being done.   Below is one example: We wish to calculate cumulative sum of the last height of each age. We can calculate it with a formula such as (which is unintended but one of the best formula features JMP has Make using formula expressions in Set Each Value and using expressions as first argument in Col statistical formulas supported behaviour ) If(Row() == Col Max(Row(), :age), Col Cumulative Sum(If(Row() == Col Max(Row(), :age), :height, .)) ) Now if we were able to use this "linked subset reverse formula" we could take a subset of those values (many ways to do this). Just by having the formula in original table Col Cumulative Sum(:height) and looking at the preview, when we have link to original data table enabled, we can see that it calculates correctly (Column 7). I would somehow like to be able to add this "subset" formula to my original table.   When I click OK, it reverts back to original values and calculates "incorrectly". This is bugged either in preview or in the subset. I would prefer to have it like this in subset BUT I think it would require some additional option added as it isn't same value anymore as you would find in the original table.   Currently I can create NON-LINKED subset with copy formula and then use update to add that back to my original table (first change column name) but this way there is no more indication how those values were calculated (unless I script the whole thing / use workflow for a bit clunky documentation)   Why is this idea important?  Would make linked subset more useful and performing some calculations easier while still having them documented as formulas. ...

What inspired this wish list request?  When using the custom DOE platform and adding a blocking variable, the only option is to specify how many runs per block there are. Before a run count is determined, it can be difficult to know how many runs per block there will be for a set number of blocks.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  An option to choose the number of total blocks, and have the platform determine the number of runs per block based on the number of runs.   Why is this idea important?  Often, when performing an experiment, the number of blocks is fixed, but the number of runs is flexible. Having the platform do the calculation to determine the number of runs per block can prevent having to iteratively change the number of runs per block to get to the right design.   ... 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.    ...

What inspired this wish list request? JMP Optimizer gives just one optimal solution with Maximize Desirability even when multiple optimal solutions may exist.  Identifying a range of solutions around the optimum would help identify an operating window and/or explore trade-offs that aren't captured in the model.  The Desirability surface can't be viewed directly in the profiler or optimizer and must be saved as a column to visualize, explore, and set thresholds.  To set the Desirability, there is a pop-up window for each & every response which is clunky and cumbersome.   What is the improvement you would like to see? Update the profiler/optimizer to identify multiple optimal solutions and/or a range of solutions above a specified desirability threshold.  Add the Desirability function as a response selection option in the Profiler's Surface Plot.   Combine Set Desirability it into a single pop-up for all responses, or embed the desirability settings for the responses in a collapsible analysis window.   Why is this idea important? More robust exploration & identification of optimal solutions in JMP.  A better user interface for Optimization efforts.     ... View more

What inspired this wish list request? I was working on a dataset with thousands of rows and hundreds of columns, and I saved dozens & dozens of scripts to document my exploratory data analysis and model development process.  I organized the scripts in the script window by grouping them together.  Whenever I received new columns of data, I joined the new data to the large dataset, and the resulting table inherited the scripts from the primary table but the script groupings disappeared. I had to redo the script groupings each time (or copy/paste the new columns into the primary table which is error prone).      What is the improvement you would like to see? Table operations create new tables that inherit the primary table's scripts and the script groups.     Why is this idea important? Maintain script organization as datasets and analyses grow in complexity.  Not all data comes back at the same time, and new questions can be raised over time.     ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  JMP is super useful in the bioassay world. However it is not easy to constrain asymptotes especially when plotting multiple curves from the same plate. Also using applying the 4PL fit curve in graph builder is not easy. it should be available just like linear regression. This would really make your program powerful.    What is the improvement you would like to see? Please add 4P Hill fitting equation to your Graph Builder platform, just like thelinear regression and other options you have. It would just be a button icon as an option. Even more powerful would be the option to constrain the asymptotes within graph builder. The constraint option in non linear graphing is very cumbersome and often does not give the same results as GraphPad Prism which is the gold std for graphs in the biologic community. JMP is so much more powerful because of the way you can easily look at data and change axes etc, this would make your program superior to GraphPad and many more users would come to you if this was an option.   Why is this idea important? 4P Fitting is extremely important in many biological assays. If you want to extend the reach of your program making this easy will do that. We constantly have to toggle between graph pad Prism. Prism is not ideal because data import is very cumbersome so we end up having to import data with JMP and then copy paste into Prism.      ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  Building graphic scripts and having to "always" rely on evaluation of expressions to get references.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Provide new message, << Add Graphic Function(function({this_framebox},...). This would work in a bit similar manner when compared to << Add Graphic Script as << Set Function(function({this},...) and << Set Script works for display boxes. Optionally, don't create new message, just add function as an option to Add Graphic Script().   Having also some way to access axisboxes could be helpful (there could be also other elements, such as display segments). Not sure how this should be implemented though, should they just be additional parameters you get access to inside the function?   Why is this idea important?  Makes it easier to create graphic scripts (functions) which have to access FrameBox for example to get display segments or something outside of the framebox without having to rely on expression evaluation. ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Slowly (but surely) getting more and more frustrated with the user experience of scripting index.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see ALL the function groups (is it currently possible to have more than one?) which the current function belongs to and be able to click it. When I click it would then apply filtering based on that.   Let's assume I wish to look for New Window from scripting index I would like to have a link below New Window which would select from the left list "Display". So after pressing that, I would end up with something like this Where it would best fit is up to you, but I would be happy with something like this (I added Function Groups below New Window). Also just auto-selecting Display instead of All Functions when searching could be nice but this should be a preference).   This comes even more helpful if I go to the scripting index from script editor by pressing alt+double click as it cannot do the "group" filtering at all (Make category auto-update when using the shortcut to open Scripting Index from Script Editor ).   Why is this idea important?  Scripting Index is the best documentation for JSL but it can be difficult to utilize.There are many features and tips/tricks which aren't obvious (which is why I wrote this blog postFrom Jarmo's desk: Using the Scripting Index as your JMP® search )     ...

☐ 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 a jmpcust file which is used to specify the menu structure in AddIns, one can use the settings insert_before and inser_after to specify the position of a command relative to an anchor position.   unfortunately, Some Functions change their internal name with the language . Therefore the anchor position can just be found for a specify language setting. If the anchor position is not found, the command will not be added to the menu.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Please provide an alternative way to specify the positon if a command in a menu - e.g. insert_first & insert_last   Why is this idea important?  not important - I tell all my colleagues to switch to the English version. Nevertheless - the new feature - will allow to specify the position withon a menu  - AND will guarantee that the command is added independent of the language setting of the JMP installation.     other wishes from    ...

What inspired this wish list request?  During a webinar this morning by JMP about predictive modeling for collinear and high-dimensionnal data, when using Fit Model platform and trying to save model column formula, it was a bit harder to determine which columns were leading to a formula and which ones were only saved values. In the Fit Model platform, the number of saved columns options can quickly become very large, example : In some platforms, it may not be very clear if the saved columns will contain formula (for example probabilities for SVM in the case of classification).    What is the improvement you would like to see?  In JMP, there is already a visual way to differentiate column values from column formula through the little "+" icon in the data table. By using and extending this icon to other platforms that could enable to save and export formulas, it would better highlight which saved columns contain a formula : Using and extending this icon/design would better facilitate the expectations and lead to quicker actions.   Why is this idea important?  By this simple change, it could provide a more uniform user experience and better homogeneity in design interfaces. ...
