Tool to list all PI Tags and AF Attributes mapped to any display
Right now I get errors in Event Viewer on my Vision server saying "Server is not available". The server it mentions is our Dev server, which means somehow a tag or attribute got to Prod without being converted. But the error doesn't tell me the tag or the display. So I have no way of troubleshooting this without individually checking each and every display or spending all my time digging through the SQL to figure out where all the config information is hidden.
The other use case is: if as a PI admin I want to change the name of…

Display Slideshow
Functionality so choose multiple Coresight displays and have Coresight automatically show the displays rotating from one to another in a slide show type fashion.
This is typically for showing displays in 'public areas' such as a big screen in the company cafeteria.

Easily choose between AF attribute name and actual PI tag name
When creating a display using attributes (i.e. - Agitator Speed), I would like to be able to easily toggle between the name and the actual tag ID. I have access to PI System Explorer, so I can go and find it, but my end users do not and in some instances would like to display the actual tag and not the attribute name.

PI Vision Trend: Option to Display Full AF Attribute Path in Trend Legend
Currently in a PI Vision Trend you can only see the full Attribute Path by hovering over the attribute name in the legend. If the attributes have differently named parent elements, then the legend will show the Parent Element and attribute name only, it will not show the parent element's parent element or more than that. If the parent elements are named the same, then the PI Vision trend will only show the Attribute name. For example, in the attached image there is a trend with 2 attributes named "Attribute", the first one has the following path: "\AARVM1\854090\Parent1\Child 1.1\Child 1.1.1|Attribute",…

Display Utility options for duplicate displays
I would like the PI Vision Display Utility to give me a warning and options if I try to move displays to a target database that has existing displays with the same names. This would avoid unintentionally creating duplicate displays with the same name.
It might also be useful if the tool gave me options in this case such as:
1) Acknowledge the warning and create the duplicate displays
2) Rename the new displays before adding them to the target database so that they are no longer duplicate names
3) Overwrite the existing target database's displays with the new displays…24 votes -
Create Multi-State limits based on tags.
On Multi-state limits, we could insert tags/attributes instead a static value. For example, a tank level:
TAG Tank Level: 333-001-233.PV
Limit Tag for 90%: TanksChemicals.LIM.HH
Limit Tag for 80%: TanksChemicals.LIM.HL
Limit Tag for 30%: TanksChemicals.LIM.LH
Limit Tag for 15%: TanksChemicals.LIM.LLAnd if I have 30 tanks with the same limits on multi-state, I can change the LL limit from 15% to 10% for every one once.

Find and replace/update tag names using PI Vision Display Utility
The PI Vision Display Utility should be able to find and replace PI Points and AF Attributes by name.
A situation where this could be necessary is as follows:
1. A PI Vision display was built for using PI Points from a certain data source
2. A new data source, possibly a new instrument, is added to read the same process data. The old data source is taken offline.
3. To keep data separate between different instruments, new PI Points are created for the new data source. New AF Attributes referencing the new PI Points would also be created for…12 votes -
Check if source PI Data Archive/AF Server is a stored server reference in display utility
When changing AF or PI Data Archive server names using PI Vision display utility, check if the source entries for the servers are stored server references for the displays. In case, I don't specify the correct source server name (FQDN vs hostname) or have misspelled or made a typo, it is clear that the Display Utility will not make changes to the displays.

PI Vision Display Utility: Copy displays between PI Vision databases on the same machine
The 2019 PI Vision Display Utility was changed so that displays from a PI Vision Server cannot be copied over to a different database on the same PI Vision Server. We keep a backup of the PI Vision SQL database on the same machine as PI Vision in case we need to restore a display from the database backup.
To support this, we would like the ability to copy displays between different PI Vision databases on the same machine.

Export PI Vision displays with the Vision full-path folder name that they belong to to a CSV file.
As right now, there is a KB introduce how to list all the PI Vision display with it's Display Owner and Shared Identity
and how to list PI Vision displays with the Vision folder name that they belong to using SQL.
But the SQL could not get the folders full path(ParentFolder and ChillFolder), neither the path of Processbook displays shared in PI Vision.
information(Name, Owner, Sharing with, full-path folder) it would be a big help for users and administration.
If there is a function that could list PI Vision displays9 votes -

Display ownership change by the display creator (non admin)
As a Vision display creator, I would like to be able to change the ownership of a display I've created to anyone in the company without having to request to Vision Administrators.
Right now, I can add collaborators and only PI Vision Administrators can change displays ownership, but I'd like to be able to reassign the ownership too.8 votes -
Data line graphs points color changes for different value ranges
For graphed data in PI Vision, I would like to be able to use limits on the data (either direct to the point definition or local to the PI Vision page) to either have the data plot line change color on the display as it passes from normal to hi to hi-hi to OOT. (or the background to change so if you cross HI, the background is now yellow at this point moving up).
This would be similar to Multi-State options which do not, today, exist for graphs.
I use dozens of plots in a column with from 1 to…

We should be able to see both the PI tag a tag description on a PI Vision display.
I am only able to toggle between the tag name and the tag description. I would like it if we had the tag on one axis and the description on the other axis like it is in ProcessBook.
