new Column Property: Value Markers

☐ cool new feature
☑ could help many users!

☐ removes a „bug“

☐ nice to have

☐ nobody needs it

 

 

In Column Properties, one can define the colors and the order for specific "values" - but ist astonishing that JMP is lacking a possibility specify the marker settings as well.

Therefore, the user has to synchronize the settings manually for every single plot:
https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/color-settings-for-quot-missing-quot-values/m-p/565346/high... 

 

"Marker by Column" sounds almost like the missing feature - but a closer look shows that the functionality is "related", has little overlap and several disadvantages.

 

My wish: An additional column property setting to specify Marker settings for specific column values.

The functionality should be analog to "value colors", but for markers.

 

The benefit:

The user can specify (colors and) markers for specific values and make them more visible (e.g. highlight and differentiate between different fail categories, show "pass" with a tiny standard marker).

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

"Marker by Column" uses row states to assign Markers.

the issue: The setting is active for ALL (!!!) Plots - not just the plots where a specific column is used as overlay.

With the help of Value Markers, one gets the chance to specify different sets of markers for different columns.
This is already possible for Value Colors and Value Order. Why is it not possible for Markers.

Hi @hogi, we have decided not to implement this request for JMP 18, but we are holding on to it for potential inclusion in a future release. We will update this issue if anything changes.

add-on:
use custom marker themes along the idea outlined here:
 Is it possible to create a custom marker theme?

This is a great suggestion, I would really like to have this option too.

Super important to have Graph Builder read this property and obey it too.

@Byron_JMP , whom do we have to ask to re-open the wish?

@Sarah-Sylvestre , @mia_stephens ,

could you please review this wish and ask JMP developers if fixing this deficiency is planned for JMP19?

At least: open the wish to collect additional Kudos.
I am quite sure that other users want as well a way to specify value markers they way it is possible to specify value colors and value orders.
