Change the default triggering for Analytics from Any Inputs

Leaving the default to Any Inputs for expression analytics can cause some performance issue as a calculation could end up triggering multiple times per second if there are several inputs. Since this is the default, some users may not take the time...

Check box option at attributes to handle PI tags that are bad and questionable

This suggestion is on how you manage the input tags into calculation that at some point it returned bad value (like I/O Timeout, Bad Input, Snapfix, etc...) or became questionable. These tags will make your calc at analysis become "Calc Failed". I...

Extension of Rollup Scope without Excessive Computational Cost

If something I'll call lists are implemented following the model of categories (that is an element can belong to multiple, arbitrarily named entities) and rollup is extended to allow that as an option in addition to the parent element, this would ...

AF Function Call to test for existence of a PI tag

Some Analytics fail due to a tag not existing. It is possible to test for a Bad value via the BadVal() function, however, this does not work if the tag does not exist. Consequently the equation will not run. This caused me many hours of debugging ...

Include PI Server as a column option in PI Builder

Throw an error if both excdev and excdevpercent or both compdev and compdevpercent are present when publishing

Currently, if you publish a PI Point configuration that contains both excdev and excdevpercent or both compdev and compdevpercent, the "percent" versions silently take priority. This means that if a user imports excdev and excdevpercent, edits onl...
