Re: make grouped columns more distinct

the column color could also be used to highlight columns of larger interest - like illustrated here:

 

Re: make columns more distinct

Yes, colors for column headers!

 

@Holger  For now, try the scroll-lock for a few important columns to keep them pinned to the left edge of the grid.

Re: make columns more distinct

Thanks for the suggestion @Holger .  We are investigating the feasibility of this feature request and if it something we will pursue.

i just detected this wish:
https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Wish-List/Set-background-color-in-column-header-column-names/idc-p/579606#M3370

 

Seems to be quite the same - could you please merge both wishes?

[edit] and here the grandfather o this wish:
Suggestions for new features to aid in better table organization  

Re: make columns more distinct

Our development team is looking into this and we may be adding this as a new feature in upcoming versions of JMP.  

Re: make columns more distinct

Thanks a lot

Besides highlighting columns in the column list on the left, platforms could also benefit if Filter Col Selectors and Col List Boxes will share the same color coding.

 

 

 

 

 

Re: make columns more distinct

This wish also focuses on having a better organization of columns, not by color but by hierarchy.

In general, working with several columns in JMP, common in manufacturing data, is really challenging.

Re: make columns more distinct

+1 for column header colors.

Re: make columns more distinct

I can confirm that column header colors are under active development for the next major release of JMP (JMP 18). 

Re: make columns more distinct

thanks a lot.

same for Filter Col Selectors and Col List Boxes?

Re: make columns more distinct

Thank you - delivered with Jmp 18 :)

Re: make columns more distinct

Thanks to Jmp Development for making this feature available in Jmp 18  - really cool.
It got so easy now to pick the right column in platforms

In Angling, Wrangling, and Untangling Data @ 1:03h  @julian gives a short introduction on how to use the new feature:

 

make columns more distinct (:corazón_verde:)

☐  cool new feature
☑ could help many users!

☐ removes a „bug“

☐ nice to have

☐ nobody needs it

 

 

sometimes it's hard to find the right column again and again.

 

some suggestions to make it easier:

 

 

 

- define special colors for special columns (or groups):

 

- make the vertical line between groups thicker

Hello,

How is this new feature accessed in JMP 18? I see a reference to a video, but I don't see a link to it. If someone could provide a pointer to the video, that would be great.

Thanks in advance,

AW

Re: make columns more distinct

right click - and change the color:

 

Re: make columns more distinct

Thank you @hogi !

Re: make columns more distinct (:corazón_verde:)

Hello,

Is there a way to color the column headers using JSL?

I have looked through the functions but couldn’t find an answer.

I know there is the command to color the cells, but is there an equivalent command to change the header background color, like the right-click > Header Background Color option?

Column("TEST") << Color Cells("Light Blue")

 

Thank you!

Re: make columns more distinct (:corazón_verde:)

good question.

col << Set Header Background Color( "Red" );
col << Set Header Text Color( "Magenta" );

surprisingly, the setting is not saved via Copy Column and not saved via Save Table Script.

Re: make columns more distinct (:corazón_verde:)

In JMP19, Column Tags are added.
They are much more versatile than the color coding of the headers.

extremely helpful!

Re: make columns more distinct (:green_heart:)

Thank you for your helpful answers, @hogi !

Best,
