Dynamically show/hide button labels

Currently, every PI System Management Tools plug-in has buttons at the top. To know what a button does, you must hover over it and read the tooltip. If the PI SMT is maximized, the buttons usually use up very little of the horizontal space availab...

Hide the Classic tab in Point Builder for "base" PI Points

PI Points of point class "base" don't use the Classic tab in the Point Builder of PI System Management Tools at all. Therefore, there is no need to show it for "base" PI Points.

Combine PI Services and PI Version in PI System Management Tools

Show pending changes in the Archive Editor of PI System Management Tools

Allow the timestamp and then the value to be specified for new events in the Archive Editor
