JMP Wish List

What inspired this wish list request?  Right now we need to manually assign people to groups (or spaces) in JMP Live, mirroring permissions that are already available and actively managed in active directory.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Sync or read groups from active directory into JMP Live.   Why is this idea important?  Managing these permissions separatelly from active directory is a lot of work and will likely lead to some users have access to content they shouldn't, and some users not having access to things they should.  We already have processes to administer and audit these permissions in active directory.   ...

The GraphBuilder can be used to visualize sensor data as Y's and a DateTime as X to make trends.   However, when Y's have different units or scales, the only way is to pre-standardize the columns and plot them all together.   An axis default option that allows this visualization without having to transform the columns will be very essential for new JMP users that are getting data from their manufacturing systems (e.g., Osisoft PI in JMP 17).   See how it is done in historians below (+video). To be clear, this is already standard in JMP, but only if you put variables in one axis: Again, the moment you add an X variable (DateTime), the plot squeezes variables using only one scale.           ...

What inspired this wish list request? When I need to filter multiple items in a list it is great to be able to type in the main portion of the "item" so that the filter only shows relevant items.  However, when I then go to filter additional items and thus clear the filter text box when I type in a new main portion of an item into the filter text box it resets the selections.   In this example I want to select all names starting with C and J.  So I start with c's:   clear the filter text box and so far so good....   Then go to J's: and now my c's are no longer selected...         What is the improvement you would like to see? Please allow the ability for the previously selected items to not be cleared, thus the change in filtered items can be additive.     Why is this idea important? This will speed up the process of filtering columns with lots of levels that are not in easy to find blocks.     ...

What inspired this wish list request?  The need to compare the model built from a DOE ran in a simulation software with the model from the exact same DOE ran in an experiment in the lab.    What is the improvement you would like to see?  Overlay in the profiler if two different models in the same row. For more detail please look at the post below https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Overlay-profiler-from-two-different-models/m-p/708222#M89253   Why is this idea important?  It helps to see the mismatch between the simulation and the experimental DOE results and helps calibrate the simulation software model better and design better DOEs in the next experiments.   ...

Isolation Forest has been emerging as arguably one of the most popular anomaly detectors in recent years due to its general effectiveness across different benchmarks and strong scalability. It is computationally efficient and has been proven to be very effective in anomaly detection.   Isolation forest compared to others (src) The algorithm isolates observations by randomly selecting a feature and then randomly selecting a split value between the maximum and minimum values of the selected feature. The implementation is therefore the same as partition trees and bootstrap trees with the difference that the target function should be uniform (trying to split variables with a constant Y value). Yet, if you try this in JMP, it doesn’t work. By including Isolation Forest in JMP, similar tu predictor screening, users would have access to a powerful tool for detecting anomalies in their data. This could help them identify unusual patterns or behaviors that may warrant further investigation.   This paper studies how IForest works and improves upon its few limitations (i.e., extended isolation forest) https://hal.science/hal-03537102/document   Scikit-learn documentation https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/outlier_detection.html     ...

What inspired this wish list request? need to make transparent PNG with graphic script   What is the improvement you would like to see? Allow graph background color of 'transparent'. This is not the same as the window background color. Currently the graph always creates a rectangle of color, making it impossible to capture an image with transparency.   Why is this idea important? https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/How-to-use-JSL-graph-background-for-transparent-graphics/m-p/627070#M82571   Need a way to *also* request the graph background be 'none' or 'transparent' or 'missing' ...

☐ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☑ removes a „bug“ (unexpected behavior of Jmp) ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it What inspired this wish list request?  Sometimes a data filter doesn't do what the user wants it to do - because the filter auto-adjusts the settings by intersecting the filter settings with the values in the current data set.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  To solve the issue please add an option to adjust the filter settings to the current data - which can be enabled (like now) and disabled (new).   Why is this idea important? At the moment, it is the standard behavior of a Data filter to adjust the settings to the current data. With the new setting, a user will have the chance to prevent Jmp from doing so.   Application cases: If there is NO overlap between the data filter settings and the content of the current data table, the data filter is removed (?!) The expected behavior for 0 overlap is: the filter is not removed - no data is displayed. With the new option (disabled), the data filter can be kept like it is and it will be possible to generate a report with "filter = outliers", which shows "0 outliers" if there are 0 outliers: Outlier screening with Jmp Dashboards - how?  If a limit for a continuous variable is outside of the range of values in the current data table, the current version of Jmp automatically adjusts the limit to the data. Data filter: how to specify the limits  With the new option, the user will have be able to disable this effect if he doesn't want that the filter gets adjusted.   For Modeling Type Multiple Response there is an option to invert the filter (option "None"). So, the user can list values which should not be displayed. If by chance, such a value is not in the current data set, the value will be removed from the filter. If the user saves the new setting, the filter setting will be lost: https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/Data-filter-how-to-specify-the-limits/m-p/642751  The new option will give the user the chance to keep the settings.        more wishes submitted by   ...

What inspired this wish list request? I use the cross-hair tool and measurement tools a lot but find myself having to write down a lot of information I gain from them, which is a waste of time.      What is the improvement you would like to see? I would like to see the following: Cross hair Ability to "Pin" the cross-hair tool image Ability to save out the values of the cross hair to a table   Measurement tool Ability for the cross hairs to calculate a slope value that would show under the dx and dy values Ability to force the measurement tool to stick in an "x / y" mode (like when the axis are different data types) vs the "slope" mode (when data are the same data types).  This will allow you to line up the X and Y values to the data more easily. Ability to "Pin" the measurement tool image  Ability to save out the values of the cross hair to a table     Why is this idea important? The cross-hair and measurement tools are amazing at allowing you to interact with your data but the usefulness is muted by having to resort to hand calculating / documenting the information that you gain.     ...

What inspired this wish list request?  Creation of validation columns in JMP and having to add the preselect role myself (or just not utilize it) even though the column has clear preselect role.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  I would like to have an option in Make Validation Column platform (or make it always happen?) to set my Validation column Preselect role as Validation.   Why is this idea important?  Makes use of usually not very used Preselect Role and makes it a bit faster to use Validation columns in platforms which supports it.     ...

Hi,   I saw there is already a post for improvements to the Scripting index here :Scripting-Index-improvements  . However, I don't know if wishes are actually taken into account when they are submitted as comments to an existing wish, so I'll just make a new post.     Something that would be very useful would be to have a 100% comprehensive Scripting index. What I mean is to include for every function, a complete list of all arguments, what the funtion returns, and the clearest possible explanation so a novice can understand exactly how a function works and what it does.   Yes I know, some of this information can be found in the JSL syntax reference. But why not have it all in the same place?  All too often I have to read both the text of the Scripting index and the syntax reference to understand what the function actually is and how it works. So having a more thorough, more detailed, more education oriented Scripting index would be very valuable.   Thanks         ... View more

Multivariate SPC is commonly used to monitor process data (sensors), as they can detect and alert shifts in a dataset.   The current platform has an interactive plot to diagnose what are the variables contributing to anomalies. https://www.jmp.com/support/help/en/17.1/index.shtml#page/jmp/model-driven-multivariate-control-charts.shtml     A very useful feature is to obtain the mean contribution given to a selected number of points.   Having an additional option that gives you the "accumulated contribution", will help during the diagnosis. ...

What inspired this wish list request?  ☐ cool new feature ☑ could help many users! ☑ removes a „bug“ ☐ nice to have ☐ nobody needs it   #myTop10_2023 (either this one or Tables join: option to update main table ) we have a workaround -> we don't need it anymore   Tables Update is a really nice Platfrom which can be used to merge columns into a data table or to update columns with the data from another data table. But sometimes the user has to wait for a long time till Jmp finishes a data table update - even with medium large data tables.   Sometimes, Jmp already gets stuck while editing settings in the Update GUI. Then it seems that Jmp crashed - , but after some minutes (or sometimes:  hours), Jmp finishes the calculation for the data preview and gives the user again the chance to edit the settings. It's clear that it takes a while to match hundreds of thousands of values in one table with values in another table. But I am surprised that merging two columns takes twice as long as merging one column Is the matching step triggered again for each column that is merged - or is it actually the sorting of the values which takes so long?   Often, I don't have unique identifiers in the source table: a single match value shows up several times in a column - with identical values also in the column to be merged. In this case, I wonder if the value of the first match is entered to the target data table, then replaced by the second  - and so on ... This could be accelerated by searching the last matching value in the source table - and just inserting this value.   A big drawback of the Update Platform: It starts with add columns and replace columns activated. If a table has e.g. 1000 columns, it takes a while till all columns are added to the preview window. The issue scales with rows_main     x     rows_2nd    x    columns_2nd. And as stupid as I am, I often start by defining the match columns ... which allows me to go for a long walk till I am allowed to pick the (1-2) column(s) I actually want to add to the table. There is a functionality which disables the preview if the table is too large. But I fear that the function just checks the length of the table -  and not the number of columns. Or the threshold is too large?   Please share your experience - how often you had to fill the time till your Jmp session was back again after an update of the preview tab.   Another issue is the Recall Button (addressed here: Disable Preview while filling the GUI via Recall  ) After clicking on Recall, the Update menu is filled with the saved settings - and after each change of a GUI setting there seems to be an update of the preview tab. So if you want to join large data tables - even if you just want to add a singe column - don't dare to press Recall ... before you disable the preview.   What is the improvement you would like to see?  Could you please improve the performance of Tables/Update.   Why is this idea important?  Tables/Update is a wonderful function. The Preview Tab is amazingly useful, I don't want to work without it. But I'm starting to get paranoia - how long will it take the next time when I try to add columns to a data tables. ... View more
