Imported Processbook Display, Allow option for Scale-Range when open pop-up trend by clicking on Value Symbol
Currently on imported PB display, when clicking on Value Symbol, a pop-up trend will use Auto-Range to set the scale of the trend. I would like to have an the option to use 'Database' setting.

Change display sharing options for displays in a folder
If a display is in a folder, the list of identities with which the display can be shared will include all identities. However, the customer do not want to see all the Identities, only want to find all identities that the current user is a member of.
8 votesIn PI Vision 2019, only users with write access to a folder will see the sharing option for that folder. The list of identities shown for sharing will be the identities that the user is a member of in addition to the identities that the folder has already been shared with.

Make XY-Plot available for collections
Most symbols can be dynamically organized into collections, which is very handy for comparing assets of different sites, where the number of assets vary.
The XY-Plot does not support this function at the moment.31 votesXY Plot symbols can now be added to collections in the PI Vision 2019 release.

Trend Scale Range: Top / Bottom Based on AF Attribute or calculation
Would like the ability to set the trend scale based on an AF Attribute since different products, equipment, lines etc might have different operating parameters.
It would also be nice to be able to base the scale on a calculation, i.e. (AF_Attribute_UpperLimit + 5%)
6 votesAF attributes can be used for scale limits in PI Vision. This can be done using the Minimum and Maximum limit attribute traits in AF.
If these are set and the trend is configured to use database settings then these values will be used as the minimum and maximum scale values.
For more information on attribute limit traits please see: https://livelibrary.osisoft.com/LiveLibrary/content/en/server-v11/GUID-0D32012F-7520-4555-8086-FBC6286FC50A

Hover/Mouse Over ToolTip for Hyperlinks and Navigation Links
As a PI Vision user, it would be helpful to have a ToolTip showing the hyperlink when a Navigation Link is added to an object or symbol. Right now, this only occurs with a Text symbol, but it would be helpful to have this for other symbols, such as a shape or image.
52 votesIn PI Vision 2019, navigation links are now more discoverable on a display. When hovering over a symbol with a navigation link, the mouse cursor will change to indicate that there is a link and the symbol’s tooltip will display the configured hyperlink.
Navigating is now done using a single-click instead of a double-click for all symbols except for the trend, where a double-click is still required so that single-click trend interactions (trend cursor, highlighting a trace) are still possible.

Ad hoc trend with multiple selected attributes
Build trend with multiple traces based on a display data (for instance, from a table). PI Vision user should be able to select multiple items on the table and then trend them on a single ad-hoc trend to compare. The ad-hoc trend should appear in a pop-up window (which you can move) in the same browser tab and the user should be able to switch between the main screen and the ah-hoc trend window to drag and drop more attributes from tables and value symbols on the screen. It's very important to see both ad-hoc trend and the main display…
243 votesPI Vision 2019 introduces new ad hoc trending capabilities that allow users to
quickly select data from across displays to add to an ad hoc workspace where you can analyze data and investigate issues.For more information on this new functionality check out this video on our YouTube learning channel: https://youtu.be/rLu2E2qc8Ds

Administrator access
administrator should have access to all displays
1 voteAdministrators have access to all displays with the ‘Show private displays’ option on the PI Vision home page. This functionality was introduced in the PI Vision 2017 R2 release.

Option to disable warning pop-up for trusted third-party sites
Add the option to whitelist certain domains from triggering the third-party warning pop-up. This could also be handled per session by end-users ("Remember my choice") instead of adding domains to a whitelist.
Current version of PI Vision has the dialog box hardcoded to trigger if a navigation link is not a link to another display.
6 votesIn PI Vision 2019, this behavior has been changed so that there is no longer a pop-up warning when navigating to an external site. Instead the mouse cursor will change to indicate when a symbol is configured with a navigation link and a tooltip will show the navigation link URL.

Use AF attribute traits to set symbol scale or limits
As a PI Vision user, I would like to have the option to set the scale or limits of any symbol based on the attribute traits defined in AF. When the symbol contains multiple attributes, it would be useful to be able to select only one attribute to define the scale of the symbol.
30 votesPI Vision currently supports this functionality. When the ‘database’ option is selected for a symbol scale, if the attribute has Min and Max traits, the traits will automatically be used to define the scale on the PI Vision symbol.
-
Multistate Configuration should show the values defined for the limits besides the traits (Maximum, HiHi, Hi, Lo, etc..).
For multistate configuration with AF limits, the customer would like to see the values defined for the limits besides the traits (Maximum, HiHi, Hi, Lo, etc..).
24 votesIn previous versions the limit trait values were shown in the tooltip if you hovered over the name shown for the limit. In PI Vision 2017 R2 we changed this so that the value is shown in the configuration pane under the name of the limit attribute trait so that you do not need to hover to see these values.

Allow a way to clean up the Display Management "To" list of users
Customer has many more users appearing in the display management To list than the from list. He is wondering why being or having been a display owner at some is sufficient to remain in this list. Could there be a means to delete unneeded users from this "To" list?
3 votesYou can use “User Settings” on the admin portal to remove a user from the drop-down list by clearing its settings. Please check out the functionality and let us know what you think. Thank you for your feedback!

Display hand when hovering over objects with Navigation Links
When hovering with the mouse over a display object that has a Navigation Link attached to it, the mouse cursor should change to a hand when not in edit mode and it should navigate on single-click instead of having to double-click.
64 votesIn PI Vision 2019, navigation links are now more discoverable on a display. When hovering over a symbol with a navigation link, the mouse cursor will change to indicate that there is a link and the symbol’s tooltip will display the configured hyperlink.
Navigating is now done using a single-click instead of a double-click for all symbols except for the trend, where a double-click is still required so that single-click trend interactions (trend cursor, highlighting a trace) are still possible.

Search by attribute or tag description
When searching for attribute, it would be nice to search descriptions of attributes as well.
4 votesThe descriptions of AF attributes and PI Tags are searched when executing a search in PI Vision. To view the description of a search result, hover over the item and the description will be show in the tooltip. Showing the description of search item results in tooltips was added in the 2016 R2 version.

Support 'Apply Time Range' and other event actions from the Events Table
As a PI Vision user, I want to be able to right-click on an Event in the Events Table and select Apply Time Range to update the time range of the Editor display. Adding this functionality would be consistent with the Events Search pane, where this option already exists.
The other events pane options should also be possible from events table:
Compare Similar Events by Name

PI Manual Logger: Option for Web App to default to Grid View
In PI Manual Logger Web, there is a Grid Data Entry view, and a List Data Entry view. The current default is the List view. However, many users only use the Grid view. It would be nice to have an option, such as a url parameter, that has a Tour Run default to the Grid view.
44 votesIn PI Manual Logger Web 2017 R2, an application level setting (DefaultToGridView) was added to set the default view for data collection to be the grid view.
