Asset Framework (AF)

It would be nice to have a substitution parameter to fetch the name of a base template. There is a substitution parameter to retrieve the name of a template: %Template%, but none to retrieve a parent/base template.

If a PI Point doesn't exist for an element attribute as part of a template, allow us to link the tag value to null. Currently if the PI point doesn't exist, the integrator or other client tools will raise PI point not found message. To get around ...

As we adopt more and more AF databases as part of how we do business, the ability to easily maintain them becomes more and more important. We have created documents to detail the business process flow to follow to update AF databases, but these a...

When manually creating an AF Table (i.e., an internal AF table) in PI System Explorer having the ability to specify a NULL value would be beneficial. Not all datasets require a value for each cell and not all tables need to be linked to, or import...

Currently when viewing Time Series Data for a numeric attribute value type (e.g Double, Single) in PI System Explorer, sorting the value column will sort the results alphabetically (e.g. 1, 10, 2, 20, 3...) and not by size (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 10, 20). ...

Transfer Saved searches: This option will allow transferring event frames "saved searches" from one computer to another. For customers who have many search criteria, it is time-consuming to rebuild again on another PC.

I would like to easily define if a derived template will inherit an analysis. This derived template should have a check box on the analysis that says: 'Do not Inherent'. Without this option I have to disable the analyses mapped to the derived temp...

If the same analysis is trying to be used for multiple templates, there will be times when some attributes are not available from a template - this will cause the analysis to fail. Even when the difference in attributes is known and attempted to b...

When trying to quickly trend and compare data in AF, it is made more difficult by the fact that the colors are not maintained when showing/hiding traces. For example, if I have attributes A, B, and C, they will initially show up as blue, red, and ...

I would like to see a progress bar or some indication in PSE that it is working on loading the analyses to run when the service stops and restarts. We have around a million analyses created and it can take time to start them all up when we fail ov...
