Expression analyses allow you to find the largest value of an attribute over a specified time range using the TagMax function. A function which offers the ability the find the Kth largest value (i.e. 2nd, 3rd, etc.) would be useful. Something simi...

Currently there is no way to know if Analytics missed important updates (e.g. start of a batch) without analyzing the message logs. However, the AFSDK does provide an indication on the DataPipe if the pipe is in an overflow state, allowing for a c...

I would like to be able to insert a new variable above or below a highlighted variable, instead of having the new variable always go to the bottom of the list. This is very problematic when needing to add a new variable to the top of the list when...

Analysis Recalculation produces Out of Order Events, which means they are not compressed. The reason for this behavior is, that there is a more recent snapshot value existing. This also happens, when Recalculation is performed till "Now" (*), beca...

There are no number base conversion functions available in AF Analysis. There are many situations where I need to convert numbers between different 'number bases'. I frequently work with MODBUS devices and there are many times number base conversi...

When deleting an element using PI System Explorer, there should be an option to delete all event frames that reference the element. Currently when deleting an element, the delete option "Delete this object and all references to it" does not delete...

When a backfill or "recapture events" option is selected for Event Frames, give the user an option to "Save Annotations" for that specific event frame. Right now, we use Event Frames to copy in Reason Codes and Comments (that are logged as annotat...

As a user, I want to be able to find where specific UOM are used, so that I know the impact of UOM changes to my PI AF hierarchy.

Some metadata can be used in Analyses, which is helpful, but means constantly running an analysis on static data in order to use it at all in AF, which is inefficient, and we have been told to pull in data as a linked table into AF, which seems un...

It would be nice if we could reference an attribute or analysis variable to provide the value for the "True for 'x' minutes" parameter, rather than having to hard-code this value. This would be especially helpful in cases where we have numerous el...
