Developer Tutorial: Data Table Enhancements

Published on ‎08-25-2025 02:31 PM by Community Manager Community Manager | Updated on ‎11-14-2025 11:52 AM

Video using JMP 19 was posted in November 2025.

The latest version of JMP brings a wave of major enhancements to the Data Table grid, rows, columns, and script panels that make it easier to select, store, organize, filter and use column metadata.  

One of the key JMP Development Test Engineers responsible for data table enhancements demonstrates how, when and why to use the new capabilities, including:

  • Modifying Column selection, widths, and header graphs interactively.
  • Filtering views to quickly examine and switch between subsets of rows, including during real-time report updates.
  • Locking filters and creating subsets from current locked or unlocked filter views.
  • Filtering columns in the columns panel and data grid, which is especially useful with wide data.
  • Assigning and using nested column groups interactively in the data grid and via JSL scripts.
  • Accessing and editing long text values in JMP using a new edit pane.
  • Creating column Tags that contain descriptions, symbols, colors and properties that are stored in the data table. Properties are dynamically applied to columns that reference the Tag and can be shared with other columns across different tables.

Congratulations on the new data grid, @Mandy_Chambers . So many useful enhancements!
It was a pleasure to see the new features evolve during the EA period. Now that JMP19 is here, I encourage all my colleagues to join Team Scurry!
e.g.: With the new version of the Quickselect Toolbar, the new Filter Views can be used in a very interactive way:

thanks to Hem and Hew (?)  Preferences[1] << Set( Classic Data Table Selection( 1 ) ); is still the default: JMP is Not a Spreadsheet 
Nevertheless, some previous tricks and shortcuts got removed - maybe by accident?
To see which features are still needed and to track the status, I created this overview: Undocumented Secrets

The new settings for the column filter are extremely useful. Don't show the developers of the Data Filter the concept — they would steal it immediately!

My favorite configuration is this one:

a pity that it's not the default one ...



Amazing! Even 'invert' is in the list.
I've been waiting years to get it for the data filter!
data filters, new option: "not"

The filter view is really the interesting thing that has been added to the JMP 19. It would be really good to allow users to add custom button from the UI to the Data Filter view. That would be really interesting update to the filter view I believe.

Great suggestion @OddsDeer284888 .  It means more coming from a user with details than from staff, so please post to the Wish List.  I did not see it there yet.
