    Double check window required when deleting an instance in PI Event Frames Interface Manager

    As a PI System Admin, I would like to see a confirmation window (acceptation pop-up message), when deleting Interface instances in PI Event Frames Interface Manager. This would minimize the deletion of the instances by error.

    Enhance Visibility of Event Frame Generator/Batch Interface History Recovery Status

    Currently when running any event frame generator interface (EFGen, PIFTBatch, etc.) in history recovery mode, there is no way to monitor progress of the actual history recovery. The only way to determine status is to check message logs periodicall...

    Allow PI Collective members to be permanently represented by alias names

    For example, in PI SDK, when viewing "member setup" for a PI Collective, it is desired for the names of the members to always be represented as a DNS alias or SDK alias. At the outset of PI Collective creation, in PI Collective Manager for instanc...

    Factory Talk Batch Interface EVT file contains useful data in the Recipe column. Can we please add Recipe as a placeholder in the Interface?

    The EVT file from FTB has 27 columns, the most populated one is Recipe. There is useful information there that could be used to filter and select data for storage in PI. Unfortunately it isn't available in the Placeholder list of 42 placeholders f...

    Enable logging of 5.x batch interface messages to the local PI message log again

    Message logs for 5.X Batch interfaces and Connectors are written to Windows Event Viewer instead of PI Message Logs as in previous versions. The Windows Event Log is extremely slow compared to viewing PI message logs, the filtering is worse, the m...

    Filter expression '<tagname>'="string" syntax should allow wildcards

    Performance Equations syntax for filtering in SMT and Datalink should allow wildcards for strings: For instance, ''="*substring*" interprets the * as a literal character rather than as a wildcard. To achieve the desired filter, it is currently po...

    Clearly label or group together obsolete/deprecated/legacy features

    PI System Management Tools is littered with legacy features. By grouping them together or clearly labeling them as "legacy" or similar, the user knows which features to use or migrate away from without having to look up each feature individually.

    Rearrange the Archive tab in the Point Builder to reflect the relationship between settings

    If the Compressing attribute of a PI Point is set to Off, then the compression settings are greyed out, which makes sense because they are irrelevant if Compressing is Off. However, if a PI Point has its Archiving attribute set to Off, nothing is ...
