Permit me to keep "no data" and also use tag with AF Analytics

I'd like a way that permits me to use AF analytics on "no-data" pi points without requiring me to strip/remove all no-data points, so that I can also use "no-data" for notifications.

troubleshooting AF Analytics with better diagnostics

I'd like better diagnostic information around why event frames are not create by AF Analytics so that my solutions are of high quality and my users have confidence in their EF data.

Allow users to specify time zone per input

As an analysis user in a multi-national corporation with data from different time zones, I want to be able to designate a time zone per input when configuring analyses so that any relative time used in the analysis refers to the correct data.

Make the second parameter of PrevVal optional

The PrevVal function currently requires two parameters: an attribute and a timestamp. However, I find that 90% of the time that I use this function I am looking for the previous value with respect to the current time ('*'). The error which analyti...

Curve Function to reference attribute and internal variable values for numeric constants (x1,y1) (x2,y2) (xn,yn)

As a End User I would like the Analysis Curve Function to accept referenced attributes and internal calculation variables for numeric constants (x1,y1) (x2,y2) (xn,yn) so that the resulting y value is based on a dynamically updating curve function...

Propagate variable renaming

If a variable is renamed, the rename should propagate to the definitions of other variables that use the renamed variable.

Preserve variable-attribute mapping upon attribute path change

Currently, if a variable is mapped to an attribute and the attribute's AF path changes, the variable must be remapped to the attribute. Instead of relying on the attribute's full path to identify the attribute, each attribute should be identifi...

User-defined functions

Allow arguments/parameters to be passed to variable definitions, effectively creating user-defined functions. For example, suppose that I want to define the function TagSum, which adds the values at all events in a time range. Then: TagSum(tag...

Exclude certain event frames when performing backfilling/recalculation

As an asset-analytics user, I need a way for certain event frames to be excluded when backfilling an analysis . Use case: We have several event frames that are used as Logs/Shift books. Those events do contain a few static attributes. such as com...

Delay Real-Time Calculations until backfill is finished.

For recursive Analyses such as below : PrevVal(tagA,'*') + 'TagB' → output : tagA When the PI Analysis Service is down (or the node needs to be restarted), the current calculation needs to be halted until the Backfilling reaches up to the star...
