RELATED IDEAS

Have more user-friendly names for objects, columns, and column groups

The current names of objects, columns, and column groups usually use some combination of camel case, abbreviations, and no spaces, which makes them difficult to read. Nobody writes like this outside of programming, and most users of PI Builder are administrators, not developers. It's not like spaces are never used; they are just not used enough. For example, the UOMClass object has a column group called "UOM Mapping". The ElementTemplate object has a column group called "Attribute Columns". Please make the names more user-friendly.

    I didn't want to clutter the original suggestion, but there is another reason to have spaces. If you use Wrap Text on the column headers and shrink a column to be narrower than its header, the column header will wrap to a new line. Ideally, we want the break to occur when there is a new word, but that cannot occur if there is no space. In other words, something like "Creation Date" will wrap to become: Creation Date Whereas something like "CreationDate" will wrap to become: Creati onDate (or something similar)
