Ideas

It would be nice if the configuration of an analysis was saved in memory when switching between types (expression, rollup, event frames or SQC). This way if a user accidently changes type, their work would not be lost.

During bulk recalculation or backfill, enhance the PI Asset Analytics engine to prioritize the calculation of analyses that act as inputs into higher level "daisy" chain analyses. This would address performance issues at large scale, as described ...

I find myself making analytics on child elements which by themselves have limited value, but are needed to get rollup analyses to work. This adds complexity to the design of AF. Two ideas would improve this: 1) Count # of attributes that meet a c...

Some Analytics fail due to a tag not existing. It is possible to test for a Bad value via the BadVal() function, however, this does not work if the tag does not exist. Consequently the equation will not run. This caused me many hours of debugging ...

I would like to create a custom AFAnalysisRule that allows us to leverage the resources on the PI Analysis Service to perform calculations that the Analysis Service currently cannot perform. These calculations include matrix operations, array oper...

As a user, I want my experience to be as seamless as possible when using PI Builder so that I can get the information I need quicker. Currently, PI Builder will Default the servers/database chosen to when a user first opens up PI Builder (after a...

Allow users more selection of which columns to include in search results (before tag selection). Some customers may wish to reference tag metadata that cannot currently be displayed, including InstrumentTag and UserInt1. Note that this is not ref...

Similar to the Exit() function, a Continue() function would be very helpful in reducing the calculation load on my analysis service, in this case by not fully executing variables if a condition is true. For example, if I'm evaluating the state of ...

Hello, We have a use case that would benefit from being able to insert into an AFTable from an analysis. This would work in the same way that event frames do, where a trigger condition is meet that causes the row to be inserted. The variables from...

We have many calculations following this basic pattern - take recorded values of one attribute, apply a filter (using FilterData), then retrieve values of a second attribute at the filtered timestamps of the first attribute. Currently, we cannot r...
