Show AD display names rather than User ID

PI AF shows who created and last edited an element, but does so by showing the user's ID in format "Domain\UserID" which is not always readable. It would be better to display the AD user's display name in these places to make it clear who performe...

Display string arrays in the PI System Explorer value field

When looking at element attributes or event frame attributes in PI System Explorer I would like to see [string1, string2, string 3] for the value field of an array attribute, instead of "String Array" as we see today. When you quickly check out...
