    Bring back PIAttributeMaskToTag

    Please, bring back the PIAttributeMaskToTag function. It disappeared after PI Datalink 2019SP1 Patch 1. Emulating it with a VBA function calling on an AF SDK COM wrapper is a lot of work and, most importantly, much slower that a native DataLink im...

    configure the PI DataLink language independently of the Microsoft Office language setting.

    "Beginning with PI DataLink 2022 it uses the Office language to display the localized functions." Because the customer’s organization operates globally, individual users may have different Office language settings. To maintain consistency, they wo...

    Datalink Search menu not intuitive

    The Search menu in PI Datalink 2016 is confusing for users used to PI Tag searches elsewhere in the PI System. "In a row" and "In a column" are particularly confusing, as they suggest that searches are being performed within the row or column. Thi...

    Option to disable automatic connections to AF Servers

    I would like the ability to disable automatic connections to specific AF Servers. Currently client applications (DataLink) are implicitly connecting to all AF Servers in the AF "KST". This results in very slow startup times for Excel. For customer...

    For compressed data, have the option to return the tagname (for example, similar to how the count is returned at the top).

    If multiple tags are selected for 1 compressed data function, it is difficult to determine which data is associated with the tags. On behalf of Elizabeth Metzler elizabeth.metzler@enbridge.com

    Integrate with Excel Undo feature

    If you make a mistake or overwrite information while working with PI Datalink information there is no way to undo it without deleting or recalculating the information completely.

    Allow for a timeshift of certain tags, depending on process time delay

    To be able to delay some signals by x amount of hours would allow save tremendous amount of data handling into Excel. Some apps like Visplore offer that right at the display. I'm sure that the PI team can come up with a solution for that.

    Rename "Compressed Data" to "Archived Data"

    In the PI DataLink tab in the Ribbon, "Compressed Data" should be renamed to "Archived Data" since it actually retrieves archived data and not just compressed data. The icon should also be changed accordingly. Not all data in the PI Data Archive n...
