Be able to use variable as index in \Elements[@index=Variable]
I would like be able to use a variable as index instead of an integer number in \Elements[@index=variable] so I can always get attribute values of my child elements eventough the relation to my child element isn't always the same.
Preserve analysis configuration when switching types
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.
Prioritize Recalculation of Analyses acting as Inputs into other Analyses (Daisy Chains)
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 ...
Add a string array function to extract all items into a string result
Our process is writing an array of strings into an AF attribute of the same type. This AF attribute may receive information of different size (index) in time.
We need to extract all the information contained in the string array (all the items) an...
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...
Add support to create custom AFAnalysisRule plugins
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...
Use default servers and AF database from local KST for first time PI Builder users
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...

Store event frame start and end time as DateTime to allow sub-millisecond duration event frames
Because event frame start and end time are stored as a bigint datatype in PIFD.dbo.AFEventFrame, the precision only seems to be to the nearest millisecond. This is a problem for sub-millisecond event frames. Why aren't event frame start and end ti...
