PI assumes that the value of a PI Point from its snapshot event up to now is equal to the snapshot value. This extrapolation is not necessarily a good representation of what the interpolation will look like when new data arrives. The extrapolatio...

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.

We want to allow certain users (=identity) to modify parts of our AF structure. For example we have a structure Elements\Wärmetauscher\Anlage1 with several heat exchangers (=Wärmetauscher) as child elements. Now one special user should be able t...

Include the ability to click and drag rows in the analysis configuration, rather than using buttons to move the row up or down. This is very tedious for long calculations.

Currently the Audit Trail cleanup, when turned on, just deletes everything. When there is a large backlog for the cleanup, this causes a huge load on the SQLserver. I would like some throtthling feature to not load the server too high with the cl...

According to this, VSTO Runtime is included with PI AF Client for the sake of PI Builder. The installation of VSTO Runtime also causes the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable to be installed as well. However, accordin...
