If you double-click on a UOM class, you will see something like the attached picture. I feel that the "Base Units of Measure" list box should be a table with 2 columns: Base Dimension and Exponent. This would eliminate the ugly ^ and align the exp...
In AF, right clicking an attribute reveals an options called "change display UOM", but it's not doing what is expected.

In PI System Explorer → File → Database → Edit Security, the border under the "Items to Configure" box and above "Identities" and "Permissions for" should be adjustable. This would allow "Items to Configure" to grow and the other 2 boxes to shrink...
Add support in AF Clients for changes to a single timestamped value in an external system brought into AF using a linked table
A table in an external system (SQL, Oracle, etc...) has a single entry that may change from time to time. When this entry changes, it should be picked up automatically by the PI Analysis Service without an extra "No Data" event. Currently there ar...
