Be able to add child attributes to attributes that use limit traits

Currently, if an attribute has a limit trait assigned to it, it cannot have child attributes. This seems somewhat arbitrary. Child attributes of attributes with limit traits would be useful for high/low warnings/alarms.

Use "whole" as the canonical UOM of the Ratio UOM class

The Ratio UOM class represents part-to-whole ratios (i.e. the units are relative to the whole). Also, ratios are the result of a division. The division produces the number of wholes that the part represents. Any other ratio unit (e.g. %) requires ...

Have an easy way to expand the entire attribute hierarchy

Elements usually do not have tens or hundreds of attributes. A lot of the time, it would be nice to be able to expand the attribute hierarchy all at once rather than expand each parent attribute separately.

Distinguish between unitless attributes and attributes whose units have not been assigned

It is difficult to tell on which attributes and attribute templates PI administrators forgot to add unit labelling when the default default UOM and the UOM to indicate unitlessness are the same: . Instead, the default default UOM and the UOM to b...

Provide more tools for quickly posting/viewing photos and videos in both PSE and Vision

Photos and video streams are rich content for assets.  Not unlike social media.  I find customers storing photos of assets and events in file shares separate from AF.  Given good controls, users would drop images into AF.  This...

Functions in tag creation similar to StringBuilder

It would be useful to use StringBuilder (or something similar) for more advanced tag creation patterns. It is already nice that you can use replacement patterns like %Attribute%, but sometimes functions like LEFT() or MID() would be great. It wo...

Allow the creator of an analysis to limit who can make changes to it

At this point, if someone else has the right permissions, they can modify my analyses and I can modify theirs. If they decide they don’t like my logic and go in and change it without me realizing it, I could make decisions based on “incorrect“ dat...

Create a substitution parameter for Element Creation Date

When managing element hierarchies that grow over time, it would be useful to configure an attribute that automatically populates with the creation date of an element.
