Create on the fly calculations
Be able to create "on the fly" calculations similar to PI ProcessBook datasets.
339 votesIn the upcoming PI Vision 2020 release, this functionality is being added that will allow for creating calculations on the fly within PI Vision.

Support multiple time ranges for trends on a display
Have the ability to support multiple time ranges for trends on a display. For example a trend might be configured as showing the last 8 hours, another one as the last 7 days, and another one the last month.
312 votesSupport for multiple time ranges for trends on a display is currently in development for the PI Vision 2020 release.

Multistate: Make visible/invisible based on data item value
Change graphics based on a data item value. For example enhance the multistate functionality so that is it possible to make a symbol visible when a tag/attribute value is equal to 1 and invisible when equal to 0 (or another condition).

Trend: Support Trace Markers
Support trace markers on a trend like in ProcessBook
104 votesSupport for trace markers on a trend is currently in development for an upcoming release of PI Vision.

Multistate: Change text color
In multistate, we are able to change background color.
We would like to be able to change text (letters, words) colors for text and value symbols with multistate.102 votesThis functionality is currently in development for the PI Vision 2020 release.
-
Trend: Allow custom titles
Allow specifying plot titles for trend symbols, similar to how ProcessBook allows specifying a plot name.
95 votesSupport for custom titles on a trend is currently in development for an upcoming release of PI Vision.
-
Trend: Axis value scale on the outside of graph
Y axis value scale should be on the outside of the graph/trend plot area and when this is done, show minor ticks when multiple scales are used. Axis values cannot be seen if they are covered by data.
49 votesThis functionality is currently in development for the PI Vision 2020 release.
-
Trend: Scatter plot - Switch off connecting lines
In trends give the user the option of disabling the connecting lines so that markers representing only the archived or calculated values are shown as a scatter plot.
24 votesThis functionality is currently in development for the PI Vision 2020 release.

Migrate data sets from PI ProcessBook displays to PI Vision
Most of displays that we use have datasets, it is important to migrate these as displays are migrated to native PI Vision displays.

Vision's search limitation on Asterisks and Spaces
Using multiple search phrases in Processbook or Datalink was simply separating items by an asterisk . . . "Phrase1Phrase2*"
Since Vision has Asterisks unable to match space characters the above search will return no results where there are any spaces between the phrases. The equivalent search phrase now must be "Phrase1 Phrase2".
This seems to be a step in the wrong direction on making searches more intuitive and easier, especially considering the YEARS of habit trained into people on proper search techniques within Processbook and Datalink. It also seems to be a very confusing state of…
13 votesThis functionality is currently in development for the PI Vision 2020 release.
Users will be able do an exact search and be able to do wildcard search by adding asterisks.

Trend: Vertical gridlines
Plots such as the pad trends, could benefit from grid lines to help quantify the changes over time. The horizontal axis has decent grid definition between the grey and the black, but the lack of vertical axis makes it hard to compare day to day comparisons.
12 votesThis functionality is currently in development for the PI Vision 2020 release.

Improved migration of arc symbol
The arc symbol is migrated with the PI ProcessBook to PI Vision Migration Utility, however PI Vision does not support the same configuration options as PI ProcessBook, so in many cases arcs are not migrated well (PI Vision only supports 90 degree arcs). Improvements should be made so that arcs from PI ProcessBook can be migrated properly.
5 votesImprovements to how arc symbols are migrated from PI ProcessBook displays are in progress for an upcoming release of PI Vision.

Multistate: Symbol configuration drop area
When configuring multistate symbol and a user is dragging a tag/attribute to the configuring window, I noticed that you cannot drop selected item to the bottom of the window. Must stay in the upper half. Not sure if this is a bug. But I think we should make it so that a user can drop an item anywhere in the configuration window.

Search for Text at end of Data Item
Currently when users type a search string, PI Coresight automatically appends a * wildcard character. So if a user searches for "state", it is the same as searching for "State".
Users would like the ability to search for text at the end of the data item name, so that a search for "*State" would return "OutletState", but would not return "FanState1".
3 votesThis functionality is currently in development for the PI Vision 2020 release.
Users will be able do an exact search and be able to do wildcard search by adding asterisks.

Multistate: Provide a way to refresh digital state information
Digital states used for multistates are currently stored with a display, so if they are modified PI Vision does not currently detect this change. PI Vision should provide a way to update multistates with the new modified digital states. This applies to enumeration sets in AF as well.
0 votesThis functionality is currently in development for the PI Vision 2020 release.
