Allow the PI Vision Display Utility to export the configuration to a file and import from a file
The current (2017) version of the PI Vision Display Utility requires both environments (source & target) to be connected. There is a need to be able to export and import those displays between systems that are not connected.
If not exported to a file, it could, for example, use PI Web API to use the REST endpoint to export the display configuration and vice-versa.148 votesThe export of displays to a file so that they can be imported to another PI Vision server is planned for the PI Vision 4.x release.

Allow sharing a display with edit permission
As a display creator, I want to give other users edit permission on the display so we can collaborate in creating the display and so that other users from my team can make needed changes when I'm not available.
80 votesRole-based edit permissions on displays is in development for the PI Vision 4.x release. This will allow you to give multiple users permissions to edit the same display.

Show AD display names rather than User ID
PI Vision shows who owns a display and who commented on Event Frames, but does so by showing the user's ID in format "Domain\UserID" which is not always readable. It would be better to display the AD user's display name in these places to make it clear who performed the action.

Central PI Vision server to collect displays from localized PI Vision servers
As a global company with sites all around the world, local laws sometimes force us to have separate web servers with separate PI Visions. It would be good to have a central PI Vision server that can connect and access displays from all of the site PI Vision servers.
Currently, if we want to access the displays created in that separate PI Vision server, we have to access a separate PI Vision site. This can be complicated when we have to compare displays from several different web servers. This is also a limitation when we want to deploy a single…2 votes -

Simple crowdsourcing of custom symbols and complex displays
Although developers can share custom code, there is no simple way to share a good custom symbol or even great display design across the global community, from the user, rather than the developer community.
It would be great to have a drop folder that anyone can share some of the effort put into a great symbol or display in Pi Vision 4 . Then a simple voting system to rank them by stars or popularity by number of downloads could be tracked to create a sort order for the contributions. Contributions that make a threshold of user voting, or download…

Control keyword setting for public displays
Dear developers,
in public displays it is possible that anyone can delete keywords which have been stored for a Display. This is not good since then users can change something without the permission of the owner of the display.
What I did: I changed the keyword for a public display from which I am not the owner, i.e. I delete the only keyword defined and click on save.
When I check the keywords for the public display I see that the deletion was successful and no keyword is defined.I can understand that it should be possible for other users…
