    Automate silent installation sequence

    We have 60+ sites, each with PI/AF Servers. We intent to deploy a PI to CONNECT Agents locally at each sites to federate our PI data in ADH. We need a supported mechanism to automate the installation sequence at each 60+ sites and connect/register...

    Accept HEX numbers for Register offsets in data selection

    Most modbus equipment providers provide information using registers in Hex format i.e. 0x0000 ~ 0xFFFF. It would be nice if the offset could accept this to avoid error in conversions HEX to DEC. Would make things alot more seamless/easier.

    Enable Intellisense for Communities in API Console

    Intellisense does not work for data from a Community, in the API Console. I expect this is because Community is a newly-released feature and the API Console must eb updated to support it.

    Auto-balance archive files

    The disadvantage of fixed archives is that they cannot grow or shrink. The disadvantage of dynamic archives is that they can potentially grow too much. Merging of small archives and splitting of large archives must be done manually. To solve this...

    Ability to convert historical tags to future data tags

    As a production supervisor, I would like to be able to convert historical data tags to future data tags so that I can more efficiently transition my production target tags from being something that I have to update every day, to something that I c...

    Make a point class similar to "base", but without zero, span, or typical value

    Most of the time, zero, span, and typical value are unused, cause confusion, and/or lead to easy but costly mistakes. Typical value is probably the most useless PI Point attribute. It doesn't affect the PI system. It is just there for the user's ...

    Provide the user ability to select Event Frame templates during the Batch to Event Frames Migration

    During the Batch to Event Frames Migration, all migrated Event Frames are created with 'Migrated' templates (i.e. PIBatchMigrated, PIUnitBatchMigrated, etc.). I would like the ability to pick and choose what templates migrated Event Frames are cre...

    Optimize the storage and retrieval of digital tags

    Given that the archive file format is proprietary, this suggestion is me shooting in the dark. Disk compression compresses archive files very well, and my guess is that most of this compression occurs on the digital tags, since the number of poss...

    Have an option to use step interpolation to the previous event

    When the Step attribute of a PI Point is "on", PI assumes that a value is constant until the next event, which works well in most cases. For PI Points that track rolling averages, rolling totals, real-time derivatives of totalizer tags with respe...
