    A lot of times, install kits such as the one for PI DataLink contain an older version of PI AF Client than the one that is included in the PI AF Client install kit. To make things easier for customers, whenever PI AF Client is updated, consider u...

    All-in-1 PI Client install kit

    Similar to the PI Server install kit, there should be a PI Client install kit that packages all non-deprecated client-side PI programs together. See the comments for a list of programs.

    Roll back to the older legacy installer, previous to PI System 2016 R2.

    The integrated installer will not perform as expected, as there is no explicit way to preconfigure the MSIs required to install the PI System. This creates a very stressful scenario for very restricted environments. Please reach directly to me in...

    Allow case-sensitive filtering on PI Point Value in Search Dialog

    PI DataLink 2017 added the ability to filter searches based on a PI Point's current value.   For searching on PI Point's with string values, it would be great if there was a way to do a case-sensitive search.  A ‘case-sensitive’ che...

    Add a unit column for data item searches

    In data item searches, it would be useful to have a column that shows the engineering unit or default UOM of the returned results. This helps assure the user that they chose the correct data item and confirms the data item's unit with the user.

    Many users utilize the legacy add-ins for DataLink through VBA code.  Starting with DataLink 2016, the add-ins are not installed by default and so upgrades and new installations can prevent existing spreadsheets from working if additional ste...

    PI DataLink service for PI Server

    To minimize the amount of data that is returned from the PI Servers, and to make the PI DataLink computers more like thin clients, consider making a service for the PI Servers (PI Data Archive + PI Asset Framework) that handles PI DataLink request...

    Allow VBA to hide array formula Task Panes

    Excel VBA code can invoke the resize/recalculate function on Datalink array formulae.  However this requires selection of the array and this pulls the appropriate Task Pane into view (unless the Datalink setting is in force that turns this of...
