Add an option to mark the PI Point Data Reference to not be updated when a Create or Update data Reference is issued

Currently when a PI Point Data Reference receives a call telling to Create or Update the Data Reference, it will resolve the String builder and then lock that Data Reference so that if someone changes the template, that change will not be replicat...

PI System Explorer Define Table tab should add new rows below the working row, rather than above

When defning a table in PSE the new row button adds the new row above the row I'm currently working on, it should go below the row I'm working on, since I logically want to add the next column in my table.

Don't run previous query when opening trend in PI System Explorer

When right-clicking and opening a trend or time series data, don't run the previous query. It can take too long. i.e. I loaded one year of data from a daily total tag (365 values). The next attribute I trend is a one-second tag (31 million values ...

Make a GUI for PI Backups for easy management

It would be interesting to have a GUI, maybe inside PI SMT, that would allow users to configure their PIBackups directly without having to mess around in 2-3 batch files. Checkboxes for the most common options, Active/inactive box etc. You could...

Prevent PI-TAGs to be overwritten with new data for certain time range

Normally our TAGs are filled with data coming from an analysis (or PI-Equation) by snapshot-data or recalculated data. But sometimes we have to do manual corrections due to data loss and have to write data to this PI-TAGs manually. And we are not ...

Automated re-compression/average after a period of time

As a PI Administrator, currently there is no way to compress or average (then delete) your data automatically after an event reaches a certain age. It would be nice to have the ability to automatically compress or average specific tags after the e...

Store the timestamp an event arrives at the Data Archive, in addition to the timestamp of the event itself

Currently, the Data Archive stores the timestamp of an event as well as it's value. It would be useful to also store the timestamp at which the event arrives at the Data Archive (perhaps this could be a configurable option set for individual tags)...

Enhance tag search and message log filters via logical operators

Proposed features - search for TAGS in PI SMT using also logical operators (like AND, OR and NOT) to refine the search criteria -  search for MESSAGE LOGS in PI SMT using also logical operators (like AND, OR and NOT) to refine the search c...

Analysis Preview Results - No Graph

As a user I would like the ability to prevent "Preview Results" from generating a plot.  The plot takes a ton of time to fill in, and often, I care more about the actual data row-by-row than I do about the trend.  It's frustrating to kno...
