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...

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...

Currently, if you delete a PI Identity that is still being used, the deletion will succeed and the PI Identity gets renamed to a number everywhere that it is used. This doesn't do much good, since the number does not reveal what the PI Identity us...

It would be useful to be able to determine when (or even if) a PI Point was last accessed by a client application to retrieve its data.  This would enable redundant points to be identified and removed. Alternatively/additionally some form of...

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.

Since using the child attribute "PI Tag Name" to hold the actual tag name is considered best practice in AF, why not encourage it even more by making it an attribute trait? Another option would be the ability to expose the actual tag name as a pr...

The ConfigString of attributes and attribute templates stores information such as references to PI Points, substitution parameters and formula parameters that refer to other attributes or attribute templates, and the source unit (abbreviation of t...

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...

In many UseCases we need more programability functions in PI. As example loop functions. We like the AF Framework, beacuse if you search in case of a problem you are very fast. But the functionaclity is unfortunatly not very rich. Please integrat...
