PI AF attributes (used for analyses) lacks the ability to filter for conditional values. (e.g. the function PIAdvCalcFilVal). Often data can be represented poorly for calculations and there isnt an easy way to filter the outliers and use that valu...

Allow sorting of Database Security Identities

There should be some type of sorting feature for the Security Identities/Securities listed in the Database Security section of System Management Tools. A simple fix would be to allow us to remove an identity, re-add it and have that appear on the ...
