Add a space before "Template" in the default element template name after using "Convert To Template"

Currently, if you convert an element to a template, the default name of the template is of the form "[Element Name]Template". Please consider changing this to "[Element Name] Template" to increase readability and make the name more consistent with...

Display a message box when the user tries to assign a limit trait twice

Currently, if a user assigns to an attribute A a limit trait that is already used by another attribute B under the same parent attribute, then attribute A will gain the limit trait and attribute B will silently lose the limit trait. Silent change...

Rename "Query Date" to "Query Time" in PI System Explorer

"Query Time" is more accurate than "Query Date". A time is an instant in a continuous time dimension. A date is either a 1-day midnight-to-midnight span in a continuous time dimension, or it is a single date in a discrete date dimension.

Propagate the value of a deleted overriding attribute to the previously overridden attribute

Let ET = element template. Suppose that ET A and ET B share an attribute of the same name (e.g. “Speed”) and whose data reference is “”. If ET A is converted to be a derived template of ET B and then Speed is deleted from ET A, then values of Spee...

Restrict the assignment of UOMs to numeric attributes

UOMs, and unit conversion especially, do not make sense on data types such as enumeration set, string, datetime, Boolean, and object. Therefore, attributes of such data types should not be allowed to have a UOM assigned to them. This helps to prev...

If an attribute template changes type from A to B and uses A's default value, then use B's default value

If an attribute template is of data type A and its default value is the default value of data type A, then if we change the attribute template's data type to B, then the attribute template's default value should become the default value of B. For...

If the reference UOM of a UOM changes, relabel the sample conversion immediately

If you add or edit a UOM and change the reference UOM when the method type is "Simple", the sample conversion will not reflect this change unless the factor or the offset is edited. Instead, the change in the reference UOM should be reflected imm...

Tool for SQL Security and Consistency Check for the PI AF Server

It is difficult to manage the AF security complexity and ensure proper authorizations so that there are no security holes.  I would like a built-in tool that can go through and check various aspects of AF/PIFD security and integrity and gener...

PSE auto generates many dll files in plugins folder

PSE is generating lots of .dll files in this directory: C:\Users\[UserID]\AppData\Local\Temp\PlugIns Request these files to be cleaned up automatically (perhaps after each PSE user session) to conserve disk space.
