multiscale: fix scale manually
Hello,
When I switch to "multiple scale" there is no possibility to add the values per scale manually!
1 voteIn PI Vision, it’s possible to adjust the scale minimum and maximum values whether you’re using single or multiple scales. When multiple scales are enabled, you can see a unique scale for each trace on the trend. You can manually adjust the scale for each trace in the “Trace Options” within the Trend Format configuration pane.

AF URL attribute object in PI Vision
PI Vision should have a object that gives functionality to open URL´s from AF attributes.
It is possibel to use URL´s in AF attributes, it is even possible to open them from system explorer.
PI Vision should recon that it is a URL when you drag it into the design pane and automatically create a text object with the URL.92 votesThe PI Vision development team has completed work to allow URLs in value and table symbols to act as live hyperlinks on displays in PI Vision 2017 R2. Upgrade to PI Vision 2017 R2 to take advantage of this and other key new features.

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.
29 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.

Fit All action should also be able to zoom in
The current version does not zoom in on the Fit-All action, only zoom out. So it only scales down, but not up. The Fit All feature in PI ProcessBook is doing both zoom in and out.
15 votesIn PI Vision 2017 R2, the ‘Fit All’ behavior on displays was updated to enable zooming a display to fit the window.
-
Dynamic Collection Criteria Search Root
I would like to be able to dynamically change my collection criteria search root, based on the drop-down asset, so that the collection is element relative. This way, I don't have to create multiple collection displays.
36 votesThe PI Vision development team has completed work in PI Vision 2017 R2 to swap collection search criteria roots using the related assets menu.

Ability to copy a symbole on one display and paste it on a different display
Copy symbol from one display to another
18 votesCopying PI Vision symbols from one display to another is supported for displays on the same PI Vision server.
-
Hide timebar passing through hyperlinks
We may want to hide the timebar for certain displays, but maintain it for others. Currently, it seems like all hyperlinks pull in the URL modifiers from the source location. So if I want, for example, a timebar on my second-level displays, I need to have it on my first-level displays.
1 voteThe ability to control whether URL parameters like hidetimebar are passed in a display link was implemented in the PI Vision 2017 R2 release.

Export display to CSV file
Ability to export data from the screen to CSV file.
It's important to generate the file in CSV format rather than XML for multiple reasons:
1. It is what the engineers expect
2. It opens in Excel by default (the XML file opens great in Excel, but the default program is the web browser)
3. It is supported by other engineering applicationsWe'd like to see some enhancements for the format of the data in the exported data file.
The first "Display" tab is fine in the current version (it compares interpolated data for multiple data sources at specific time…26 votesThe ability to export of data from a PI Vision display to a csv file was implemented in the PI Vision 2017 R2 release.

remove element relative from pi vision screens
Is there any option from admin to disable the element relative display from PI Vision screens?
We are facing issues even when we don’t change it or touch it. Sometimes it is changing automatically and without touching or selecting another element.
We are building PI Vision screens that contains several elements like Boiler 1,2,3,4,… that are using element templates and we need to show different boilers in the same trend and page. it is changing automatically the Asset Boilers and we have to remap them in our displays and again it will change automatically for some reason.
Is there any…1 voteThe PI Vision development team has completed work to allow the configuration of related assets for displays in PI Vision 2017 R2, including the ability to disable the related assets selector on a display.

Allow display sharing to any AF identity for Administrators
Currently limited to AF identities that my useraccount is explicitly part of. However, any Coresight admin should be allowed to share displays to any AF identity.
Now as an Admin, i need to reassign display ownership to a specific person in a group (AF identity) and ask them to share the display. Not ideal for central authoring of displays.
25 votesIn PI Vision 2017 R2, the PI Vision home page was updated to allow administrators to share a display with any identity.

Configure asset dropdown AF hierarchy root
As a PI Vision display author, I want to configure an AF hierarchy root for the asset drop-down menu on my display so that my end users only see assets in the menu from the part of the AF hierarchy that I choose.

Improve Handling of Excluded Attributes in Symbols
Currently, Symbols display "No Data" when an excluded attribute has been selected. This typically occurs when customers are navigating from one asset to another using the Switch Asset feature. This error can be confusing to the end user. In order to minimize confusion, a different approach should be taken such as not showing the symbol, showing N/A as a value for the symbol, or graying out symbol/values for excluded attributes.
14 votesThe PI Vision 2017 R2 release included enhancements to symbols to better support excluded attributes. If attributes are flagged as “excluded” in an AF hierarchy, values will not be
displayed in the table symbol and asset comparison table in PI Vision. Other symbols
will display “N/A” for excluded attributes. -
Line with arrows in PI Coresight
It should be possible to draw a line with arrows at the end(s) as it was possible in PI ProcessBook to draw process flow charts.
5 votesThe ability to configure arrows on the beginning and end of a a line has been completed in the PI Vision 2017 release. Arrows can be configured in the Format Line configuration menu.

Golden Batch / Golden Events
Be able to specify a golden event / golden batch / reference event to compare repeatable processes against.

Events Table / Events Dashboard
Support a table that can show event frame data on a process display. For example, "show me all of the downtime events for the past 24 hours in a table".
The table might be sorted by different columns such as severity, links to Event Details page, and acknowledgement status as well. See attached picture for one possible idea.
52 votesThe PI Vision development team has completed work on the Events Table in PI Vision 2017 R2. The Events Table is now out of CTP and includes the ability to add a Reason Code column based on the Event Frame ‘Reason’ attribute trait in AF. Users can edit the reason code and acknowledge Event Frames directly from the table or navigate to the Event Details page to investigate further.

Select which Template is used for Switch Asset
When using Element Relative Display and Switch Asset, allow for selecting which Template of the current Asset is used for searching when is using templates that are derived from other templates.
The current search appears to only be based on the most derived Template but the display may be valid for a common base template shared by different types of assets.
A dropdown could be shown in the Switch Asset selector when the current asset is using derived templates to help filter.
