    Do not store the entire connection string ("connectString" parameter) as a secret

    Currently, the entire value of the "connectString" parameter is stored as a secret to be able to protect any passwords that might be used in the connection string. Since the connection string is stored as a secret, it cannot be read by users after...

    For query strings for the AVEVA Adapter For RDBMS, provide a larger, resizable text box that preserves new-line characters

    Currently, the text box for the query strings (for queries against the data source) for the AVEVA Adapter For RDBMS is the same as any other text box. It spans only a single line and is not resizable, and its width is limited by the width of the r...

    Provide obvious UI link to online documentation when there is no User Guide installed

    For any AVEVA products (especially the PI System) that do not install a User Guide, the user interface should provide an obvious link to AVEVA's online documentation. This link could be in the form of a ? button, for example.
