Be able to add child attributes to attributes that use limit traits

Currently, if an attribute has a limit trait assigned to it, it cannot have child attributes. This seems somewhat arbitrary. Child attributes of attributes with limit traits would be useful for high/low warnings/alarms.

Use "whole" as the canonical UOM of the Ratio UOM class

The Ratio UOM class represents part-to-whole ratios (i.e. the units are relative to the whole). Also, ratios are the result of a division. The division produces the number of wholes that the part represents. Any other ratio unit (e.g. %) requires ...

Set the Configuration Item on attribute templates by default and remove when a data reference is added, similar to attributes

Attributes have Configuration Item set by default. If a data reference is added, Configuration Item is removed. Attribute templates have Configuration Item not set by default. Please change this so that attribute templates are consistent with att...

Have an easy way to expand the entire attribute hierarchy

Elements usually do not have tens or hundreds of attributes. A lot of the time, it would be nice to be able to expand the attribute hierarchy all at once rather than expand each parent attribute separately.

Distinguish between unitless attributes and attributes whose units have not been assigned

It is difficult to tell on which attributes and attribute templates PI administrators forgot to add unit labelling when the default default UOM and the UOM to indicate unitlessness are the same: . Instead, the default default UOM and the UOM to b...

Make it easier to select a table in the table lookup configuration pane

A complex AF system may have dozens of AF tables, being fed by different groups, int the same AF database. Whenever someone needs to configure a new table lookup DR, he needs to go through a big list to find the desired table, specially if there i...

Provide more tools for quickly posting/viewing photos and videos in both PSE and Vision

Photos and video streams are rich content for assets.  Not unlike social media.  I find customers storing photos of assets and events in file shares separate from AF.  Given good controls, users would drop images into AF.  This...

Functions in tag creation similar to StringBuilder

It would be useful to use StringBuilder (or something similar) for more advanced tag creation patterns. It is already nice that you can use replacement patterns like %Attribute%, but sometimes functions like LEFT() or MID() would be great. It wo...

Better visual distinction between reference types in the element hierarchy in PI System Explorer

Currently, you cannot visually distinguish between a composition relationship and a primary parent-child relationship, or between a secondary parent-child relationship and a weak reference in the element hierarchy in PI System Explorer. Please all...

Allow the creator of an analysis to limit who can make changes to it

At this point, if someone else has the right permissions, they can modify my analyses and I can modify theirs. If they decide they don’t like my logic and go in and change it without me realizing it, I could make decisions based on “incorrect“ dat...
