Have the ability to set Preferences / Default configuration options
Like in PI ProcessBook you could use the Preferences section to set the default configuration options, you need a way to set it in PI Coresight.
Maybe that could be part of the Administration page. There is a need to have the ability to set the default Trend symbol trace colors, default coloring of other symbols, default time bar time ranges (we should have the ability to define what choices we want to see as a company in the time bar selector), etc.

Announcements on the PI Vision start page
As a PI administrator I want to be able to make announcements to the users on the PI Vision start page from time to time.
Examples of announcements is planned upgrade dates and times, information about new features, problems with data capture from interfaces, etc.
A suitable place for these announcements could be the lower left corner of the start page.

Automate copying displays from one server to another
As a PI Vision admin, I need the ability to automate copying displays from one PI Vision server to another while changing data sources in the process.
We have one master site where displays are created and edited and many other sites that are re-using these displays. In doing this, we can templatize displays and ensure that the content is presented in a consistent way.
Minor changes are made every day so this process needs to be automated, and local PI Vision servers also have local displays so the content is not identical, meaning we cannot simply copy the backend…

Remove requirement for SQL setting 'disallow results from triggers' to be set to 0
When 'disallow results from triggers option' SQL feature is enabled and set to 1 on the SQL serverwhere the PI Vision database is hosted, PI Vision displays cannot be saved resulting in error:
"A trigger returned a resultset and the server option 'disallow results from triggers' is true"
Existing versions of PI Vision do not support this feature to be enabled and must be set to 0 for a proper functioning of PI Vision saving displays capabilities.
However, this SQL feature is reportedly recommend to be set to 1 by Microsoft and it is mandatory for some customers to have…4 votes -
Display Utility: Support adding prefix to PI tag names when copying displays
The PI Vision Display Utility allows modifying the PI or AF Server/Database when copying displays from on PI Vision server to another, but it does not support modifying PI tag names.
We are syncing tags between environments and using prefixes to denote the environment. The PI Vision Display Utility does not support this scenario currently, since both the point ID and the tag name are different in the other environment, the tags cannot be resolved after displays are copied.

Managing PI VIsion display editing permissions should scale
While it is useful that AF Identifies can be granted edit permissions on PI Vision displays, doing so one display at a time is not scalable. There should be a way to set defaults for new displays, or a scripted way to assign permissions to displays in bulk.

Implement Testing methodology for Microsoft Patches
PI System owners need to ensure that their deployed systems both meet internal IT policies regarding recommended OS and other component recommended and critical patches, and that their PI applications are not adversely affected by these patches.
A testing methodology similar to what PI AF employs which is currently to automatically monthly test all critical and recommended patches against the currently released application version.

Ability to remove graphics from Graphic Library
As a PI Vision admin, I would like to be able to remove graphics/images from the graphic symbol library so that I can ensure that display creators are only using approved graphics in order to standardize the look of displays.
