PI System Explorer (PSE PI AF) Web

Please consider creating a web application like PI Vision Admin, PI Web API Search, PI Manual Logger for Web, and the various integrators, but for PI System Explorer (PSE, PI AF). I would prefer this to the client-server design now. It would make ...

Support for localized element and attribute names

As an user, I want to be able to have a localized element and attribute name in addition to the base language, so that my users do not have to learn a different language.

Be able to sort Elements and be displayed in ways other than alphabetically.

We have seen several instances where we would like to have the order of element displayed in AF/Vision be sorted by process order, not alphabetically.  Suggest adding a "sort" field and an option to have element arranged by that rather than alphab...

As an avid user/admin of AF, in PSE I would like an option to display large attribute values with commas

Currently, in PSE there is no way to display attribute values greater than or equal to 1000 with commas for the thousands separators. Ex: 1,234,456 instead of 123456. This option exists in other PI Clients (i.e. PI Vision) and should be available ...

Filter Expressions for PI Point Data Refences

Allow to hide Elements

Now we can hide individual attributes. I would like to hide elements too. We can use this to hide configuration elements, prevent setting many (all) attributes to hidden, hide unused elements, etc. Thinking this through, this implies that all chil...

Improvement of AF Identities/Mappings - Make it similar to PI Data Archive

When adding a Mapping to an Identity in the AF Server this will always generate a new mapping linked to a user/group account. If this user/group account it's already mapped to an identity then, by default, it will add 1 to the mapping name. If...
