Show the reference arrow on child elements of a referenced element.

When you copy an element that has child elements the reference arrow only is visible on the parent. All children look like non referenced elements. This could be confusing in a large AF tree, referenced items that do not have the arrow could be mi...

Add IsExcluded('attribute') function to AF Analysis.

Add new isexcluded(attribute_reference) function to be able to easier distinguish between Tag/Attribute errors and excluded attributes. Currently it is quite tricky to filter if an attribute is in error due to data source error or an excluded tag....

Row/variable information to AF Analysis errors

When we built complex analysis and evaluate in PI System explorer we get general error messages without any information where the error occurs. This makes troubleshooting painful. Adding row/variable information would already help a lot!

it would be useful if there were a way to easily identify which attributes represent inputs to an analytic versus those which represent outputs.

Option to paste column names to AF table definition

Option to Paste column names in table definition. In the moment everything has to be put manually. Also sorting is painful. If we could just copy an array/list from Excel and paste here it would make the handling a lot easier. (Copying the table d...
