There is limited search options in the PSE management screen. I'd like to see more, specifically be able to search/filter on the "Element" field that is displayed on the screen.

SMT Digital States you can't change the number. This matters when trying to insert a new state. You have to rename everything to move it down. In PSE with enumeration sets you an change the number easily.

The editor window for analytics is so small. If you create an analytic variable longer than 5 lines you have to start scrolling.

It can be a challenge to find the analysis that writes to the PI Points in large AF hierarchies with many contributors. It would be convenient to have the PI Point Data Reference attribute path written to the PI Point configuration (description or exdesc). The idea is to be able to trace the tag back to the analysis efficiently and without additional training or knowledge beyond basic PI System use.

Currently, a user can crash the AF server by linking to a SQL query, but if the query changes unexpectedly to returning many records (if a user changes from an INNER join to a FULL OUTER join for instance), the AF server can crash. If would be good to introduce a memory quota for a table to prevent ram exhaustion. (A quota could also allow older cached instances of per-user tables to be purged before the refresh limit)

These were removed from the 2018 SP3 install kit as OSI found many customers removed these tags and interfaces after installation. However, our experience is the opposite and these tags are massively useful for diagnostic, experimental and training purposes.

I would suggest the option of installing them be re-instated into the PI Server install kit, with an explanation of why they are provided. If the customer does not want them, they can then uncheck the option.

Attributes set as configuration items are used as variable inputs to PI Analyses expressions. When this analysis is performing calculations based on empirical tuning parameters, a tracking method is needed to record changes of these parameters. Adding annotation capability to element attributes set with "Configuration Item" property would provided a tracking method.

Ex:
2020-06-15 Component replaced with new. Adjusted tuning parameter to value ### in order to reset wear rate.

As a user using AF to create analysis, I would like to be able to convert time durations in a decimal format (ex: 3.5 hours) to an actual time format (ex: 3:30)

-Instead of seeing 3.5, we should have the ability to see it as 3:30
-Additionally, it would be nice to extend the functionality to formats such as MM-DD HH:mm:ss

Users must use an SQL JOIN clause while configuring linked table to join Link Tables belonging to the same data source .
For table Lookups, joining internally existing Link Tables in AF within the AF Server is not possible as Table Lookup Data Reference does not support SQL JOIN clauses

Microsoft Power Apps enable low-code development of connectors to integrate data sources and applications. Rather than customers developing and maintaining their own connectors, it is requested that OSIsoft develop, maintain, and update a connector to read and write PI Server data.

Automatically move archives from a disk to another based on their age. Use case: I only want to keep the last 2y of data on a SSD and the remaining will be stored on a regular disk.

My use case can be achieve using the example PowerShell script located at "%pihome%\OSIsoft.PowerShell\Example Scripts\MoveOldArchives.ps1" on any machine with SMT installed. I would like to see this feature built natively into PI System Management Tools.

I think this may be a bug. But currently the datasecurity and ptsecurity tag attributes assigned in the AF Tag Creation Settings appear to be stored on the machine where they were created and not on the AF Database for which they were created.

I would like to have an out of the box way for an attribute to display a pipoint exdesc. One thought would be able to have a substitution parameter that would point at the pipoints exdesc.

It would be convenient to have a search filter in the Management plugin for analysis type (Expression, Rollup, etc..). For example, if a user wants to start/stop/backfill/recalculate a specific type of analyses they have to perform multiple searches. This could be needed for example if auto-backfilling is disabled and only EF analyses are to be recalculated.

There is a considerable amount of downtime in our system (20+ minutes) when a template change is performed. The root cause is a limitation on how the analysis service handles the removal of AF Attributes from the Data Cache. Due to this limitation it takes a considerable amount of time to rebuild the cache.
