There needs to be better ways to create and manage element templates for assets that are similar (but not exactly the same to one another).
For example, reactors might have 50% of attributes consistent across all reactors. 20% of the attributes might be specific to one type of reactor, and another type has other differences. But they are all reactors that are related from a search, analytics, and visualization perspective.

Please evaluate our current implementation of Excluded attributes. It should accomplish the needs as described in this idea.
Agree. Templates should be more flexible to allow the PI Vision relative displays functionality truly usefull. In real life not all assets are exactky the same. We should be able to have a master template, where each attribute applies or not for individual elements, and when visualizing in Pi vison the objects should appear or not deppending on the asset having or not that specific attribute. Hope it helps!
