Allow the boxes in PI System Explorer's Security Configuration window to be vertically resized
In PI System Explorer → File → Database → Edit Security, the border under the "Items to Configure" box and above "Identities" and "Permissions for" should be adjustable. This would allow "Items to Configure" to grow and the other 2 boxes to shrink. Currently, "Items to Configure" always has a vertical scroll bar, but the boxes below might have unused vertical space if there are few enough identities.

Tool for SQL Security and Consistency Check for the PI AF Server
It is difficult to manage the AF security complexity and ensure proper authorizations so that there are no security holes. I would like a built-in tool that can go through and check various aspects of AF/PIFD security and integrity and generate a report.

If the reference UOM of a UOM changes, relabel the sample conversion immediately
If you add or edit a UOM and change the reference UOM when the method type is "Simple", the sample conversion will not reflect this change unless the factor or the offset is edited.
Instead, the change in the reference UOM should be reflected immediately in the sample conversion.

If an attribute template changes type from A to B and uses A's default value, then use B's default value
If an attribute template is of data type A and its default value is the default value of data type A, then if we change the attribute template's data type to B, then the attribute template's default value should become the default value of B.
For example, if the last data type that I set on any attribute or attribute template is string, then if I add a new attribute template, it will already be of type string and will have a default value of empty string. This is great.
However, if the last data type that I set on…

Add a space before "Template" in the default element template name after using "Convert To Template"
Currently, if you convert an element to a template, the default name of the template is of the form "[Element Name]Template". Please consider changing this to "[Element Name] Template" to increase readability and make the name more consistent with how English (or whatever language) is written.

Better handling of bulk deletion of open event frames
I have a case with a customer who would like Notifications/Analyses to better handle situations where opened event frames are deleted in bulk. From the case, this process can cause Notifications to get in a bad state and cause a temporary delay in emails being sent out if backfilling is occuring in parallel. Customer would like this process to be improved.
1 voteWe have improved the behavior with recent AF/Analytics releases. Please test our most current version and if there are additional needs, please create a new idea with more detailed information.

Ability to write data to the Buffer Subystem using the AF SDK when PI Data Archive is unavailable at start up
As an user, I want to be able to write data to the PI Data Archive via the Buffer Subsystem even when the PI Data Archive is unavailable at start up so that my application can continue to run without having to wait for a connection to the PI Data Archive.

Better handling of data from mobile or shared equipment
Better handle data coming from shared or mobile equipment where the association of the data changes from one piece of equipment to another.
Example: shared drilling equipment data associated with the wells they are drilling.
