Notifications new option to not be notified if child event frames are created
Currently there are options in a radio button configuration under "Choose when to be notified if child event frames are created for multiple trigger conditions" but there isn't a "do not notify for child event frames" option.
Please add the "Do not notify for child event frames" option.

Ability to change notifications in bulk for delivery channel
API Rest delivery channel has one format, it is configured for one template. Customer would like to implement it for all of the templates in bulk.
Two Notification Templates could be linked to two different Analysis Templates that can be linked to two different Event Frame templates. Therefore the options to populate the delivery end point could be different between notification template. SQL stores a GUID in the properties of the delivery format, applying in bulk would also mean copying over GUIDs which would result in the wrong configuration.

Schedule PI Notifications "outages"
It would be very useful if an "outage" for PI Notifications could be scheduled. We often start or finish maintenance well outside of work hours, and the flood of PI Notifications can annoy users who are not on site.
Ideally we could set an outage for PI Notification emails during a set advance time (eg between 5 and 8am on the 19th June 2021).1 vote -

Allow Access to Analysis Variable Values in Notification Rules
I tried to look but didn't see this requested. It would be very useful if the values of the variable(s) created in an Analysis could be accessed from the Manage Formats page of a Notification Rule. I know you can create output attribute and map the output of an Analysis to an attribute, then reference that from the Manage Formats page. However it would be much better if any variable created in the Analysis that is tied to the Notification Rule could be accessed when creating the email format. This would provide an easy way to for example create a…

Include Creation date in event frame properties for Notifications
We see issues where notifications appear to be delivered late but then find the event frame was created at a later time than the actual event because of connectivity issues. Having the creation date of the event frame exposed for a notification would be helpful in informing of such issues.

Allow Notification Display of the target attribute using any UOM
We default Element Templates to SI Units as standard, which makes sense, but we have Sites that are Imperial and Sites that are metric. This extends to certain department (wells, for example) using different units of measure to the default.
I need to be able to send notifications to some people in a unit of measure that is not the template default (i.e. imperial), but there is no ability to do this without making duplicate attributes with different default UOM's.1 vote -

Omit the predefined comment "Notifcation sent to 1 subscriber" in an event
Is it possible to omit the predefined comment/annotation "Notifcation sent to 1 subscriber" in an event?
We want to send notifcations but these related comments in all events are undesirable.
We want the operation staff to comment every event and then we want to evaluate the events and comments in excel or have a look at the comments in PI Vision.
And there it's unconvenient if in front of every user comment is an unwanted Notification info which make sorting and getting a quick overview difficult.1 vote -
Option to change (or extend) mail format on element level
For some elements, i would like to add some extra agreement specific text to the notification mail.
There is currently no good method for doing this, since this is locked to the template.
I suggest that which mail goes out to each subscriber could be changed on element level (treat as the value of an attribute).

Dialog for configuring notifications
I would be good to have a dialog for configuring notifications setting as it was available in the old notifications version.
It seems strange to me to change values in the configuration database.1 vote -
Create Analysis and Notifications when limits are set on attributes
