Ability to copy and paste top level elements in PSE without the children.

The AF Server Connections dialog is similar to the Network Manager Statistics plugin in PI System Management Tools. For administrators, it would be useful to see the security identity string for each connection to the AF server. This will help adm...

An optional link to connect an AF attribute with the underlying PI tag. This would allow the user to pull in the PI tag description and engineering units in the AF attribute description and UOM. When the underlying PI tag is updated the changes ar...

In AF, right clicking an attribute reveals an options called "change display UOM", but it's not doing what is expected. To change the displayed UOMs (if, for instance, we want to see "km/h" instead of "m/h" in PI Vision), we need to do the follow...

Currently when backfilling an analysis with the PI Buffer Subsystem turned on, all values are sent to the PI Data Archive uncompressed. This is because values are perceived as out of order and these settings are not observed. This should be mentio...

When elements are copied and pasted in PI System Explorer, the pasted element should be automatically refreshed (equivalent to right clicking the element and clicking “Refresh”). If the pasted element is not refreshed, attributes with PIPoint dat...

Allow element references to have a different name be defined. This will make it easier to build alternate hierarchies in AF. A new string substitution parameter (perhaps %ReferenceElement%) would also need to be created to distinguish from %Element%.

Add the ability to set the trend axis range in the PI System Explorer tool. We are currently allowing users to navigate the asset hierarchy in PSE as it provides greater flexibility in understanding the data.

Sometimes, a complete element template isn't what we need, but a pattern of use for an AF Attribute is needed for close-grain application of properties, for instance, an attribute that does specific work with an an AF Table lookup and an associate...

When viewing Element Search results, it would be useful to have a Right-Click option to 'Jump To' the element in the hierarchy. The same is true for Attribute Search results.
