JMP Wish List

What inspired this wish list request? We encountered an issue when trying to open Excel files that have been encrypted and labeled using Microsoft Purview Sensitivity Labels in JMP 18. This problem prevents us from accessing important data due to the encryption applied to these files. What is the improvement you would like to see? We would like to see the ability to open encrypted Excel files (encrypted with AES256-CBC and labeled with Microsoft Purview Sensitivity Labels) reintroduced in JMP. This would enable us to work with our encrypted datasets seamlessly within JMP. Why is this idea important? This feature is crucial for our workflow as we frequently work with encrypted and labeled files for security and compliance reasons. Without the ability to open these files, our data analysis process is significantly hindered, impacting our productivity and the effectiveness of our work. Reintroducing this capability would greatly enhance our efficiency and ensure we can fully utilize JMP for our data needs.   ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  When adding text to a display output or to a Graph Box() it is fairly easy to find the starting point on the graph where a text value is to be placed, however the Text() function only currently allows for Center Justify or Right Justify.  Currently, the positioning of text on the left edge of the display frame requires one to calculate the length of the text in characters and then to do some sort of estimating of how that length in characters relates to the X scaling of the graph     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Allow: Names Default To Here( 1 ); New Window( "Example", Graph Box( Text Color( "red" ); Text( Left Justified, {50, 20}, "Left" ); ) );   Why is this idea important?  This would make adding text to output much cleaner to implement.   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Trying to make slight modifications to my existing models when I just have formula columns seems to take quite a bit of effort unless I have the script every time saved.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  In most simple case I would be happy to just have a way of getting all the column names used in a formula on clipboard (also make this scriptable without clipboard...). There might be other wish list item for this item but I could quickly find one. There are solutions in the community for this but they are fairly complicated Head Arg Recurse Formula , How to automatically extract the column name used by the formula in the JSL code? .   In best case I would like to be able to re-launch the platform which did create my prediction columns. As I'm JMP Pro user, I would be fine having this as a feature in Formula Depot. In this case it would be nice if different settings would be also pre-filled IF they are stored to the column properties.   Why is this idea important?  Makes it easier to go from prediction formula back to the launcher (when possible) to make small modifications if needed or just to rerun the model with same settings without having to save the platform script every time.   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Trying to combine Box plot / Bar Chart / Grouped point plot with Line plot in separate graphs.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Now that we have capability to add lines with Caption Box, maybe we could also add plots with it? Few plots I would be interested in using are the same we can utilize in Graph Builders header graphs, especially Run Chart. Below is a quick idea of what I mean The empty space in F category shouldn't be there as those should be scaled by the groups rows not all rows.   Why is this idea important?  Provides easier way to visualize specific type of data.     ...

What inspired this wish list request?  We love JMP for exploring data, running stats and gaining insights from our large data set. But when it comes time to publishing our work, we spend HOURS exporting graph builder figures as PDFs or pasting into PowerPoint as EPS to be able to combine multiple graph builder figures into a single, publication grad figure that is often combined with images, etc. This is something quite different from the Dashboards that JMP offers. Currently, this is one of the last remaining features that is available in GraphPad Prism that keeps me from going all in with JMP.        What is the improvement you would like to see?  Create a new platform within JMP that allows the user to combine and align multiple graphs into a figure layout. If images can be added too, that would be outstanding! This would ideally focus on using figure/panel axes and edges for alignment, rather than the bounds of a GraphBuilder panel with legends, and footnotes etc. I am thinking of something like https://www.graphpad.com/guides/prism/latest/user-guide/using_creating_a_new_layout.htm         Why is this idea important?  For any JMP users that publish their work, this would in principle save many, many hours of creating publication grade figures and do away with an iterative process involving exporting figures through multiple programs (e.g. Illustrator, PowerPoint, etc)     ...

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 posted a question on the help forums asking how to open/close the Header Graphs using JSL, and it was suggested by @jthi I post the request here as there is not currently a way to set the Header Graphs to show or hide specifically, it can only be toggled. How to Show Header Graphs Using JSL?      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.    Enable  Current Data Table() << close summary panels; to work with a Boolean flag to close/open header graphs. This will not work as intended if the user already has the Header Graphs shown.   This can also be done using:  Preferences(Show summary graphs below column names(1)); But this requires editing the users preferences, which is unfavorable.    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,…).   The only way to reliably set header graphs to open/close is to edit users' preferences. Enabling the Boolean flag for "Close Summary Panels" will allow for opening closing Header Graphs as desired without interacting with user preferences.     ... View more

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.  Semiconductor industry need the virtal metrology but less researchers and manager have not understand the importance of virtual metrology. Thus I woyld like to requset JMP to have script to run virtual-metrology.     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.  Yield analysis engineer and process engineer use JUMP to improve yiled and improve the controllability of process tool based on JUMP.     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,…).vast impact on semiconductor industory to lower the cost of the product by improving yield.     ...

There should be an add-in which allows generating regression lines accounting for errors in both X and Y. Usually york fit is used for this purpose in other software. It is crucial that JMP also introduces this feature.     ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  Making small mistakes when launching JMP Platforms and I already have implemented this to my platforms.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see "Keep dialog open" checkbox in all of the JMP platforms which have a launcher and close it when you press "OK". Other option would be to provide some sort of "Preview" for the platforms but this would be much more complicated to implement to not slow down platforms too much.     Why is this idea important?  Making very small mistake in JMP launcher forces you to find the launcher from menus again and pressing Recall or you can use View/Recall Last Platform (hidden inside menus and has very bad shortcut by default as it forces you to remove your hand from mouse). ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Unlike other statistical software (Minitab), it seems that JMP doesn't provide detailed formulas for analyses. This lack of details and transparency can make it difficult for users to understand the underlying calculations.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  Provide more formulas for analyses where it makes sense to include them in the support documentation and in cases where formulas are quite complex, simplified formulas for simplified examples so the user can understand the concept.   Why is this idea important?  understand the underlying calculations, it is quite often to get request to explain the analysis, how do you derive this conclusion and what kind of analysis and fundamental concept formulas are being used in the analysis.   ...

What inspired this wish list request?  When comparing designs/improvements during accelerated testing, the goal is to compress timing (hence accelerate) but not change the failure mode.   Taking Weibull statistics, one aims to shorten the 'time' or eta while maintaining the 'slope' or beta.   Weibull ++ software did this chart by showing a confidence region (say 95%) or map in a eta vs. beta plot.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Enable ability to plot eta vs. beta in the reliability platform.     Why is this idea important?  This is the most visual way to see the effect of accelerated testing and avoid pitfalls.     ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Column Info/properties (e.g., data type and modeling type) and Local Data Filter settings (in the case of multiple reports generated using By variables) have to be individually set.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Enable broadcasting for Column info/properties and LDF settings. Currently, the former can be accomplished by copying/pasting column properties but it would be faster to do it while initially setting the properties.   Why is this idea important?      ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Currently, Text to Columns supports only one delimiter. Often, multiple delimiters may simultaneously exist in the data. In such cases, the operation has to be done sequentially.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Enable use of multiple delimiters (e.g., space, -, _, /) simultaneously. Also provide users the option to retain or remove the source column.   Why is this idea important?  Ease of use, increased efficiency.   ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  Working a little with Python code in JMP's Script Editor and hoping for a bit more.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Add dark theme (Currently there isn't properly working dark theme and I had to create my own). Make this different from JSL so it is immediately obvious which editor is open (background might be most important part of this).   Bracket highlighting doesn't seem to work properly with Python in Script Editor.   When using single-quotes they aren't being auto-matched   Add some sort of opinionated formatter for Python (ruff, black, ...) which could be used with Reformat Script   Disable JSL auto-complete from Script Editor when using Python (or add one which supports Python).     Why is this idea important?  Makes writing Python in Script Editor easier and more fun. Currently I almost feel like I should always go to some other IDE and paste the code back to Script Editor. ... View more

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 would like to access the Title of the Button Box.   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.  I would like the  << Title() and  << Get Title() commands to work for button boxes   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 will enhance ability of scripts to make better GUI's.   ... View more

I would like to get suggestions in the graph builder on different type of available graphs based on the input parameters. Specifically, I am suggesting a feature similar to Minitab, where user can input all their variables and receive recommendations for applicable graph types. This would streamline the graph selections process and enhance usability. ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  Removing all columns from quick columns can be unintuitive. Let's say you pick two columns to group by but then you wish to remove those. You will have to select EXACTLY those two columns to clear group by -> if you select any more those will be added to group by, if you select all columns old ones will be removed and new ones added. So you end up in this cycle where you are continuously right clicking on separate columns and checking which columns are still in group by.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to see few possible changes.   1. Add new option "Clear Group By". This would remove all columns from the group by   2. Figure out how to make adding/removing columns more intuitive (add new buttons Add to Group, Remove From Group? instead of just having a toggle). Example follows:   I have Semiconductor Capability table open and I wish to create grouping column. First I think I need to have lot_id and wafer as my group columns, I select then and make them into the group. Then I remember that I have to include SITE to my group. I still have my lot_id and wafer selected so I just add SITE to selection and click group by What I will end up with is just SITE in the group And it can get even messier when you try to add more columns and finally try to clear them...   Why is this idea important?  JMP is interactive tool and it should be easy to use as possible. Currently it feels like it is easier to just write formulas using JSL than interactive columns, especially if you happen to mess up with group by column selections even once. ... View more

What inspired this wish list request?  While using the My JMP portal to manage users, I can't tell whether a user has downloaded the software or not.     What is the improvement you would like to see?  It would be good to have a visual indicator or field to tell me that a user has downloaded the software so I can follow up with those who have not.  Maybe the field could include the latest version that has been downloaded for each user.     Why is this idea important?  It helps me drive the installation of the latest version of software.     ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Response Screening is very fast platform when comparing multiple Xs and Ys. It also allows Fitting those items but only for selected items whereas Process Screening has two options "Show Charts as Selected" and "Show Charts for Selected". For is one off charts and as updates charts as user selects different rows.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Add option "Fit as Selected Items" to Response Screening Platform.   And while you are doing that I think you should also rename "Fit Selected Items" to "Fit for Selected Items" to make naming consistent between different platforms. Also similar approach should be applied to all platforms which offer this kind of features (plot once (for) and plot on selection (as)).     Why is this idea important?  Makes it easier to use Response Screening platform if you want to visually see how x and y compare to each other.      Below is a script which can be used to do something like this. It is very quick solution and just creates new window which can then be placed next to response screening for quick checks   Names Default To Here(1); ps_ref = (Current Report() << XPath("//OutlineBox[@helpKey = 'Response Screening Report']")); If(N Items(ps_ref) < 1, Throw("No Response Screening open"); ); ps_ref = ps_ref[1] << get scriptable object; tb = Report(ps_ref)[Table Box(2)]; nw = New Window("Visual", plot_collector = V List Box( ); ); Eval(EvalExpr( tb << set row change function(Function({this}, sel_rows = this << get selected rows; xcols = (this[String Col Box("X")] << get)[sel_rows]; ycols = (this[String Col Box("y")] << get)[sel_rows]; lub = Lineup Box(N Col(2)); For Each({{curx, cury}}, Across(xcols, ycols), lub << Append( Bivariate( Y(Eval(curx)), X(Eval(cury)), Fit Line({Line Color({230, 159, 0})}), Density Ellipse(0.95, {Line Color({86, 180, 233})}), SendToReport(Dispatch({}, "Linear Fit", OutlineBox, {Close(1)})) ) ); ); While(!IsEmpty(Expr(plot_collector) << child), Try((Expr(plot_collector) << child) << delete box); ); Expr(plot_collector) << Append(lub); )); )); Eval(EvalExpr( nw << On Close( Expr(tb) << Set Row Change Function(function({this}, return())); ); ));     ...
