As an AF designer I often have attributes indicating whether an element is enabled or disabled, this could be referring to a piece of equipment taken out of service, or a configuration element indicating a process is deactivated. The attribute is typically a boolean attribute, and I spent a lot of time going from one element to the next in order to disable or enable it, during operation and testing. It would be really helpful if I could tie this "Enabled" status attribute value to the icon PSE shows for an element, in order to quickly identify the elements which are enabled or disabled.
For normal AF databases I could create a PI Builder worksheet preloaded with the configs, but we normally put these configs in the Configuration database and this is not visible through PI Builder.
I envision the normal element icon to be grayed out if the status is disabled, or perhaps a cross/X over the icon. See attached image!
