Replace "https://techsupport.osisoft.com" in PI DataLink's About window

The link redirects to myOSIsoft. The link should be revised so that it does not redirect and possibly so that it leads to a different page instead. Either that or the link can be eliminated entirely.

Do not bundle PI Adapters with EDS

Reduce the footprint of EDS by not bundling adapters with EDS but instead have them be a separate installation so only the desired adapters end up being installed on the device. It will also allow easier for a clearer process when an adapter needs...

Optimize tag search by introducing a setting allowing less precision when filtering a tag search by value (especially for float tags)

For example, when searching for Float32 tags with a value of -0.062 in PI System Management Tools, several results may appear, whereas no results appear in an equivalent tag search in PI DataLink. The value of the tag in PI SMT may display as -0.0...

Display a parameter tooltip (IntelliSense) when typing functions manually

Please add a tooltip or equivalent to show the arguments of the PI DataLink functions when you are entering the functions manually, similar to the tooltips that appear when you use native Excel functions.

Ribbon icons should visualize the kind of data to be retrieved

Currently, the icons that PI DataLink uses in the Ribbon are just meant to look pretty and do not help the user understand what kind of data will be retrieved. Please consider making the icons more informative. My suggestion is to use sparklines a...

Retrieve EDS Data Egress Status through REST API call

It would be great to have a REST API call available in EDS to get the current data egress state rather looking it up through the logfiles. The idea is to get information about when data was (successfully) egressed to OCS, AVEVA Data Hub or the PI ...
