Events Table: Show attribute values
Be able to compare attributes from multiple similar events against each other in the events table symbol.
User Story: As a process engineer, Lalit wants to compare attributes from similar events to one another in a table and sort by the columns of the table SO THAT he can use the attribute values to compare the events to one another.

This functionality to show attribute values in the Events Table is currently planned for the PI Vision 2021 release.

Yes, I agree. An event-table with no attribute values is useless.
It would be great if the Vision table could also do summaries (average, total, delta, max, min) of every attribute of the element, PI Point or not, without having to configure each before hand.
That would leverage the event frame.

I cannot understand how something like this is not whitin ef table possibilities. EF are useless in PI vision without this.
I am also very concerned that after 5 YEARS they did not do a thing but they added different time contextualization in same display trends... Unbelivable

Would be a very valuable addition to PI Vision dashboarding as a whole

In my opinion this feature is mandatory to make the EF table usable and useful. The attribute can contain display link or other staff that is important to have.

I'm surprised this feature isn't present. Why not? This is a key part of the user experience.

This is the top voted item that has no feedback comments from the product team. This idea has been here for just under five years now. Can we please get this functionality added to native PIVision? The event frame table needs to be able to show (a) event frame template attribute columns, and (b) associated asset attribute columns. And, we will also want to be able to filter event frames on attribute column values. Finally, we don't always need to see the event frame name.

I was gob smacked this wasn't a thing.
The attributes are there in the list to the right and I immediately tried to drag them to the table with no luck...
nothing in the table config either.
Would suggest this would be rather useful?

The "Asset Comparison Table" can be used to display the attributes of multiple events in table format. That symbol has the capability of displaying them. However the search is not available to update the events, just the elements. Updating the search to include "Events" should be enough to show the event attributes.

Four and a half years, and this is still not implemented. The data is there, and we need access to it in the table.

It is very surprising that this feature was not included. This is a definite need.

This feature is urgently needed for monitoring sewage treatment plant bypass flows.
As well as event name, start/end time we NEED the ability to display event attributes such as 'Total volume bypassed', 'max rainfall', 'total inlet volume', etc

This feature is a must-do. I am surprised that it is not part of the EF table functionalities. It is a major flaw. Once you use the EF table, the first thing you look for is this.
Please get this developed and released ASAP. Thank you! -

This feature is badly needed for us to do process troubleshooting

Add the ability to add event frames attributes to the event tables
-
John Xu commented
Yes Please. A Event Table without Event attributes is useless in most of the scenarios
-
Oliverio Hernandez commented
Yes please, include that feature. I stopped working in this because I cannot add more columns to the event comparison table, since we cannot add more columns showing event frame attributes.

We consider this a major flaw with the Event Frame Comparison table, rendering it virtually useless for most of the foundational applications for which users request.
We have turned away from using Event Frame Comparison tables in favor of Asset Comparison tables that are filtered/sorted by attributes which contain the information/triggers that were previously used by the event frames. Unfortunately, this is only an instantaneous view of the status & info for everything that is being monitored and does not provide much insight into history.

I am currently building out dashboards for my facility and this feature would greatly increase the usefulness of the event frame table.

This would be a great feature. It would allow for a quick comparison of event frames on existing dashboards without the need to go into the event frame viewer / comparison area of PI Vision
