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...

In the PI Annotations Editor, which is accessible by clicking on "Annotations" after right-clicking on a value in the Archive Editor, if you make changes to the annotations and try to close the PI Annotations Editor without saving, the following m...

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.

Automatically refresh PI SMT cache

I would like PI SMT to refresh its cache automatically so it provides consistent information with other client tools without the requirement to manually refresh it or close/reopen.

Combine PI Services and PI Version in PI System Management Tools

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

Currently, there is no visual distinction between: • rows that contain no changes, • rows that contain unsaved changes, and • rows that contain saved changes that have not been processed by the PI Data Archive yet (this happens when you refresh to...

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

Currently, if a user tries to add a new event in the Archive Editor by specifying the timestamp first and then the value, an error message will appear. The entry order should not matter, as long as all of the required information is present when t...
