Alphabetical List of Features

User Interface

Browse web pages from within JMP (Windows only).
Formulas—Formulas have a visual clue (a caret) when optional parameters can be included. Pictures of formulas appear in the Column Info dialog.
Layout and Journal— undo available for most editing operations in Layouts, optionally rerun an analysis from within a Journal.
Menu Customization—Under Windows and Linux, at the bottom of the Edit menu, there is a new submenu named Customize that brings up a drag-and-drop editor for customization of menus and toolbars.
Preferences Path—Under Windows, the user can designate a directory where the preferences file (JMP.pfs) should be stored.
SVG—JMP can save journals and image files as SVG, Scalable Vector Graphics.
The pointer works similarly to the brush tool. Select multiple points by dragging the pointer. Shift-drag extends the selection. Control-drag subtracts selected points.
There is a preference to specify default “save” location now on Windows.

“Add All Open Files” is located on the journal right-click menu. It creates outline nodes and file/script links to reflect all open files and scripts.
Linux operating system—JMP is completely functional under Linux.
There are optional dividers for axes that automatically wrap text across several lines.
Pictures dragged or copied into JMP layout or journal reports can be resized (Use Alt-click to restore a picture to normal size).
To move columns in a statistical report, use the grabber (hand tool) and drag them left or right.
Plots display faster when drawing a large numbers of markers using the Marker Drawing Mode > Fast option found when you context-click in any plot. Plots are set to use the fast mode when the number of points is greater than n, where n is the value of the Fast Marker Threshold preference, whose default is 10,000.

The Cluster platform is fast enough to do problems with several thousand rows.
Formulas that calculated across the rows of a data table (using subscripted variables or the Lag function) stressed the formula dispatcher and dependency system for large data tables. The formula dependency system has been rewritten completely and now performs quickly.
The help system has reduced image sizes and includes a more useful navigation structure.
The JSL Try function intercepts errors better.
ODBC is faster for importing large database tables, including Excel files.
ODBC now supports:
- Unicode support for Windowes and Linux
- Graphical WHERE clause editor
