Configurable default Attribute ConfigString

Right now, when you create an attribute in a template and assign it a Data Reference of PI Point, it defaults to a ConfigString of "\\%Server%\%Attribute%". %Server% has some known administrative headaches because what it populates as is dependent...

Automatic PI Point Creation

It would be convenient if PI Points were automatically created when deploying an element based on an element template for the attribute templates that have Tag Creation set. The current approach is to right click > Create or Update Data Reference.

Change UoM, Display Digits of attribute independently of element template

Currently, if an attribute is created with a Unit of Measurement in an element template, it is not possible to change the Unit of Measurement in the element created from that template. If no UoM is given in the template, then the UoM of the under...

Add OpenOnly and CloseOnly capabilities in PI-AF notification formats

Add markup to include/exclude content in-between in notification formats? This would be a far more elegant and flexible solution vs. separate templates or using the global Message for Closed Notification. e.g. <openonly>foo</openonly> ...

Segment PI Tag Delete Permissions

Want to be able to allow some users the ability to create and modify tags, but to avoid the issues with deleted tags being hard to recover or accidents, remove their ability to delete tags. Currently, PI Tag Security has only two options: Read/Wri...

Enable Data Fanning for PI Collectives through PI System Management Tools

Currently, PI System Management Tools supports buffering but not data fanning (does not send data to all collective members). When using a PI Collective, customers would like to make changes to PI Point values in Archive Editor in the Primary Dat...
