Allow sharing a display with edit permission

Trend Cursor: show values while dragging
As a process engineer, while dragging a trend cursor I'd like to see the process values. Currently, I can only see the value once I drop the cursor, I need to see the values WHILE dragging the cursor so that I can quickly identify problems in my process.
This feature was available in previous version of Coresight (2014 and 2015) and in ProcessBook.
47 votesActively updating attribute values while dragging a trend cursor is planned for the PI Vision 4.x release.

Table: Archived Values
Provide a symbol in PI Coresight which displays the time and archive values of a data item based on the display's time range.
Customer Issue: Customer uses PI Coresight to monitor the most recent 100 seconds of data on their production line, which updates every 10 seconds. The process engineers want to be able to see the previous 10 measurements collected. The values on the display need to be clearly visible from a distance and able to display the desired information without interaction. This can currently be done with ProcessBook or DataLink, but a thin client is preferred for these…
45 votesA new table type showing a list of archived values and timestamps for an attribute will be included in the PI Vision 4.0 release.
-
Trend: Support Trace Markers
Support trace markers on a trend like in ProcessBook
45 votesMarkers on trend traces will be included in the PI Vision 4.0 release.
-
Graphics: Make visible/invisible based on tag value
Change graphics based on a tag value. For example make a graphic visible when a tag value is equal to 1 and invisible when equal to 0 (or another condition).
34 votesIn the PI Vision 4.x release, symbol visibility will be able to be controlled as part of expanded multi-state capabilities.
-
Search Graphics Library
Be able to search the graphics library by keywords rather than having to try to guess which of the many folders a certain graphic is in.
19 votesThe ability to search for graphics within the graphics library is planned for the PI Vision 4.0 release.
-
Aspect Ratio
When adding an image I don't see any option to maintain the original images aspect ratio.
15 votesIn the release of PI Vision 4.x, the aspect ration will be maintained for custom images added to a display.
