Restrict the "Root path" field on the "Current Value" menu to only display PI Data Archive servers previously connected to this machine.

We have 12 PI Data Archive Servers and another 12 PI AF Systems. I currently have to sort through a list of 124 "servers" when I setup to collect some PI data. Many of the 124 "servers" are old servers no longer in use or databases under PI AF Sys...

Automatically check for updates

Please add a feature that automatically checks for updates when PI DataLink starts up. This way, the updates come to the user rather than the user having to check if there is an update.

Use a PI tag with point type timestamp as the retrieval method on an EF attribute.

Allow the ability to collect data at specific key points within an EF. Timestamps can be saved to a PI tag via a separate analysis or to an EF via an output variable then used with the Exact Time retrieval method instead of using a relative time.
