JMP Wish List

What inspired this wish list request?  Experimental units with known (fixed) covariates must be recruited and randomized to factor(s) over time so that they are independent (or "balanced") for the covariates.  Currently, there is not a automated way to do this in JMP 18.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see JMP allow covariates in the the Augment Design platform so that new experimental units with known fixed covariates can be randomized to design factors that maintain balance of the existing design.     Why is this idea important?  This is important to design studies with important known covariates and staggered recruitment.      ...

What inspired this wish list request? When I have been optimizing the profiler I will often want to reset the X factors back to their original state but there is no good way of doing this.  I either have to try and use remember state before I do any optimization or have to manually reset them all back to their mean value.     What is the improvement you would like to see? I'd like the ability to have a "reset to original values" button under the Factor Settings tab     Why is this idea important? It will remove a source of frustration when using the Profiler.     ...

What inspired this wish list request? I'm in charge of the management of the JMP Contract and with JMP18, the management of users had drastically been modified.     What is the improvement you would like to see? To improve the management of the list of authorize users for my company, I'd like to get an history of the JMP18 licence access. I mean the last date of JMP18 connexion and the history for each user.     Why is this idea important? Ease to manage the list of users authorized to use JMP and JMP renewal.     ... View more

What inspired this wish list request? Using the Life Distribution with process data that is randomly censored (left, right, or interval) and typically, but not always, well-represented by a Weibull distribution.  The Life Distribution platform offers no means by which to objectively assess whether the data is in fact well-represented by the selected fit distribution(s).  It provides AICC, BIC, and loglikelihood values by which to judge the relative merit of selected models on the dataset, but no test value that could be used, for example, to assess whether the fit is "good enough" to draw meaningful conclusions from the fitted parameters.   The Distribution platform provides calculation of Anderson Darling statistic and p-value as well as plotting Lilliefors confidence intervals on a Q-Q plot for visual assessment.  However, Distribution is not compatible with censored data.     What is the improvement you would like to see? Provide an option to calculated Anderson Darling statistic and p-value for censored data in the Life Distribution platform as well as option to add prediction confidence interval to the main graph output by Life Distribution.     Why is this idea important?  The requested improvements would provide objective means by which to assess how well the selected model(s) fit the data and would be consistent with the assessment methods included in Distribution.     ...

What inspired this wish list request? I am routinely performing equivalence tests for qualifications for new variants of an existing product.  I was thrilled to see equivalence testing with multiple comparisons under the Fit Model platform since I there are a few random effects in my model.  I only need to see comparisons for Control versus Test Products 1, 2, and 3.  I do not need to perform equivalence tests for Test Product 1 vs 2.  However, 'all comparisons' appears to be the only option for equivalence testing.       What is the improvement you would like to see? Either give the option to perform the Equivalence Tests using Dunnett's or give the option to select the relevant comparisons for the project.  I am sure the former is easier to implement but the latter is preferable.  In this case, I have two controls because we want to account for the variability in settings under which controls might be manufactured.  (Note that I did try the User Defined Comparisons option, but this still does too many comparisons or you have to do one pairwise comparison at a time and adjust the error rate yourself.)     Why is this idea important? The application of equivalence testing originated out of pharma where you were often testing a brand name drug in the form of control versus a generic.  The testing naturally lends itself to this test versus control paradigm.  However, in other situations, teams may want to see all comparisons to better understand equivalence, say, with respect to laboratories or equipment.  Restricting to only the comparisons required for the study would give the user more statistical power, create less issues controlling FWER, and create less confusion when using the graphs as a communication tool.  These results plots are often used to communicate to regulators and interdisciplinary teams.  Tables of results and visualizations of differences that aren't relevant to the project creates churn and derails team meetings.  The ability to curate and customize the output is essential.     ...

☑ cool new feature ☐ could help many users! ☐ removes a bug ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   What inspired this wish list request?  Sometimes, rows have different weight (on a continuous scale) ... and a user wants to express this weight visually in Graph Builder. Different ways to do so: - use color Dropzone - and use a color scale which emphasizes data points with larger weight - use Size Dropzone - making data points with large weight larger.   For both approaches, I have the feeling that my eyes cannot use the information "on the fly" - they need some help of the brain *) why? In Plenary: All Graphs Are Wrong, but Some Are Useful - Xan Gregg @XanGregg explains how different kinds of visualization are easier or harder to understand.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  In my opinion, Transparency is very well suited to visualize weight.   Please add a possibility to use a continuous value to control the weight of data points or elements of other plot types.   Why is this idea important?  There are Drozones for all the important settings: Marker (Overlay), Color, Size, just Transparency is missing.       other wishes from  ...

What inspired this wish list request?When you add the control and spec limits property to a column, it's practical because these limits are displayed directly in the control charts and in the process capability analysis platform, for example. The problem is that in the control charts, the specs are blue and the control limits are red, whereas in the process capability analysis platform the specs are red.  You can change spec limits color in control charts, but not in process capability analysis platform. On the other hand, you can define the color of the control limits in process capability barchart, but not the specs limits.         What is the improvement you would like to see? Better color consistency between different platforms for spec and control limits, and customizable even when the column property is used.     Why is this idea important?These different colour codes between platforms can be confusing for users.     ...

What inspired this wish list request? Please describe the current issue that needs improvement or the problem to be solved that is not easy or possible right now, with an example use case.  I have to track lots of continuous projects I used to use Microsoft projects but now I use excel and power point to do this task now. In the programs that I used to make gantt charts I had no ability to create charts to show integrated data, like how many hours are allocated to each individual project and then how many hours an individual was being expected to work on projects in a given time frame. I would also like to use this to track tool availability/use.      What is the improvement you would like to see? Please describe the idea for improving JMP. Please include mock-ups, wireframes, screenshots, scripts, other documents or examples from other software that help describe the change you would like to see.  The ability to make gantt charts as a type of chart in the chart builder.   Why is this idea important? Please describe the value to you and/or other users if the idea is implemented (for example, ease of use, must have,…). This is important to me to be able to track all of my projects and all of my employees projects in the goal of meeting or exceeding key performance indicators.   ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  I create Workflow Builder workflows to ease my repetitive work but I'm not able to use these as Add-Ins. I have to resave as scripts and use these which defeats the idea of a workflow.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Enable the ability to use .jmpflow files in the Add-In menu as shortcuts to running this file type ( currently I have to open the files to run them).     Why is this idea important?  Simplify the Add-In process. Currently I have to resave the Workflow Builder file as a script then use this as the Add-In linked file     ... View more

☐ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☐ removes a bug ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it     What inspired this wish list request?  an amazingly useful function in JMP: << get script() It separates experienced users from beginners: A pro user creates a dummy item, uses the properties to adjust and fine tune it and then he uses << get script() in a JSL editor to get all the settings.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  In the properties menu, please add a get script button. It acts like the copy button for the  Box Path , but for the script.     Why is this idea important?  Copy - Box Path was introduced in JMP17 - and it was a huge step to facilitate the communication with display boxed. Copy - Script will be a huge step to facilitate the formatting of display boxes     other wishes from    ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  I am analyzing data for an engineer in which part of the data is below the detection limit, which is good. I want to include that data in the results. The data is a batch process, and the batch should be included in the model as a random term.   I tried using GenReg (which accepts interval censored data), but it would not allow the random term in the model. I tried using Standard Least Squares, but it would not acknowledge the interval censored data. I tried using Generalized Linear Mixed Model, but it would not acknowledge the interval censored data.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like a modeling platform that allows random terms in the model, and interval censored responses.   Why is this idea important?  This would allow me to build models for my engineers that do not have glaring problems or missing data.   ...

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
