    Be able to reorder components

    For PI Points created by AVEVA Adapters, use the point class "base" instead of "classic" if the PI Point does not use "classic"-specific PI Point attributes

    When an AVEVA Adapter creates a new PI Point, it always uses the point class "classic", even if none of the attributes that are specific to this point class are ever used. Instead, AVEVA Adapters should create PI Points using the point class "base...

    Bring the "Add" and "Replace" button from the drop down menu of the Ad Hoc button directly in the toolbar

    When a symbol is selected, the default behavior of the Ad Hoc Trend button is to add the selected elements to the existing trend. We propose splitting this functionality into three separate buttons instead of having the dropdown menu. The Ad Hoc b...
