Ability to search for PI Points used by PI AF attributes

We currently use a Powershell script to search through AF. It's time consuming. Very happy this is now as status "evaluating".

Essential! It is a dreaded workday when someone asks for this. We currently have to export all to PI Builder to search or write a script. This is a very common request - should have been included in alpha version of AF.

I received an email that states that AVEVA is considering a similar feature for PI Vision. Suggest that you combine the effort and include this AF feature in the development of that similar PI Vision feature.

One of the core items missing from this is not only finding attributes that directly use a PI Point, but also finding any non-PI Point DRs that reference that same PI Point. In systems with 5-8 million+ attributes, building our own recursion process to find these references becomes a pain. The solution provided needs to identify every reference.

This request occurs multiple times in this enhancement request list. It has been requested in multiple tools. The total votes across each request is several thousand. Please address this.

I would kill for this feature!
As an admin and user support of 10 sites, I spend a lot of effort any time I have to look for this reference. In my case, I normally starts from a tag and I need to get the element name and database. Thx, M.

I agree -we're struggling to maintain AF without this feature

I agree being up to search for PI Points, Elements etc. in AF would save a lot of time

Not only search PI Points but the ability to search for a value of a PI AF attributes. Example if an attribute is an asset type such as a pump, a fan, an agitator, etc. It would be possible to find all the elements that would have an attribute value of "fan".

I want to search AF element or its child attribute based on PI point. If I know PI point I can search its linked element and attributes in AF. In pallette option "search by tag" this feature should be provided.

This would be very helpful. Currently, I'm doing a Tag Name child attribute so it can be found using the Attribute Search's filter. However, this is very cumbersome.

In the meantime, I would suggest making a query table in Excel that uses PI OLEDB Enterprise to get the same information. Then you only need to refresh the table to update it rather than import the information all over again.

Now I used PI Builder (in Excel) to download the AF structure and search where tags are used. I would like to suggest an update / addin for System Explore that would allow you find tags and where they are used in the AF structure

Customer would like the ability to search in PI System Explorer for a tag, and find all references (attributes linked to that tag) in the database.

Here is a similar use-case for those who are trying increase their AF adoption: Create a way to search for PI Points that are NOT represented anywhere in AF. Here is an example: https://pisquare.osisoft.com/thread/37080

Native way to search in Pi System Explorer if a PI Point is used and where it is used would be very useful.

This is a very needed feature to find all the assets that are using a particular tag.

Searching PI points used in PI AF elements/attributes is very needed feature.
