Nesting collections

It would be good if collections were essentially full-blown mini-displays, where you could group/ungroup objects and also include a collection inside another collection.

    I think this training video by OSISoft Learning on Youtube: PI Vision - Add Asset Filter Criteria and Navigation Links, actually shows a use case for Nested Collections. The Trainer has to create a collection for each of his sites instead of using a collection to pull all the sites with a nested collection that pulls all the pumps.

    You've got my vote. Collections within collections would allow multiple levels of a hierarchy to be dynamically created in one display. There are occasions where some levels in the hierarchy don't have much information and in a drill down set of displays, having the extra step would be pointless. Whilst a collection can display all descendants which would skip the level, the level is still important in dividing the descendants on the display. Nested (or sub) collections would make this possible.

    Have had several instances in the last few months where this feature would have been extremely useful. Please consider implementing, this improvement idea has obviously been open for quite a while without any real tangible solution.

    It would help standardise many displays. I agree with others

    We have many assets spread out over many sites, nested collections is the number one feature most users want in our organisation.

    This would save a lot of customization

    It seems like a natural extension of the concept given that all of AF is a hierarchy.

    We currently have to create custom symbols to accomplish this. It will be a great feature.

    Nested collections is the logical way to visualize the hierarchical elements. It's hard to sell the hierarchical model to my engineers without a sensible way to visualize it.
