Allow exclusion of message types when searching PI Message logs

As a PI System administator of a busy PI Data Archive, I find that my message logs are unwieldy. I can miss important messages in the flood of connection messages and other repetitive messages. I would like to be able to search my message logs whi...

Add a counter to stale\Bad tags window

In point builder, the number of tags you are working on is displayed in the top right corner. I'd like to suggest the same on the stale tags window. Why? I do systems administration on 380 controls machines across 68 power plants. Of those 380 mac...

Eliminate the menu bar in PI System Management Tools

The menu bar in PI System Management Tools has almost nothing in it. It would be cleaner if it were eliminated. File: Add Server can be moved to a button in the title bar of the Servers pane. Save Session Log can be moved to a floppy disk icon in...
