Date and time format in Preview-Results pane (PI System Explorer) to be consistent with all other date & time formats

The Date and time format in PI System Explorer's Preview-Results pane are not displayed according to the end user's operating system date & time format defined. This is an inconsistent behavior to that of PI System explorer in general sine the...

Provide a mechanism to export Analyses and Notifications Management searches.

We create the same Analyses and Notifications on multiple servers. This is easy to do using the database export mechanism. But that export does not include Analyses & Notifications Management searches. So, then, it is necessary to recreate the...

Preserve analysis configuration when switching types

It would be nice if the configuration of an analysis was saved in memory when switching between types (expression, rollup, event frames or SQC). This way if a user accidently changes type, their work would not be lost.

Additional capabilities for rollup analyses

I find myself making analytics on child elements which by themselves have limited value, but are needed to get rollup analyses to work. This adds complexity to the design of AF. Two ideas would improve this: 1) Count # of attributes that meet a c...

Add support to create custom AFAnalysisRule plugins

I would like to create a custom AFAnalysisRule that allows us to leverage the resources on the PI Analysis Service to perform calculations that the Analysis Service currently cannot perform. These calculations include matrix operations, array oper...

New analysis to perform insert into AFTable

Hello, We have a use case that would benefit from being able to insert into an AFTable from an analysis. This would work in the same way that event frames do, where a trigger condition is meet that causes the row to be inserted. The variables from...

Refrain from creating PI Points when AF Analytics is doing an expensive calcultion

If it can be known that the Analytics service is busy with an expensive calculation, the Data Archive should pause on creating PI Points, as this is also an expensive operation and may interfere with the calculation completion.
