When registering for courses, it recommends using your own PI system if possible rather than the cloud environment. However, when in the last three sections of the Configuring a Simple Pi System course, a lot of the videos are simply following what the instructor is doing in the cloud environment, which is not applicable to those not using it. In that case, I'm OK with a "how-to" but maybe more of a description of the "why" behind what is being selected and what to do if you are not in the cloud environment.
For example, Creating PI Points in PI System Explorer, explain what the different elements are used for and a general process for adding points rather than jumping right into creating points for a pump.
The "What are Backups of the PI Data Archive & Why Are They Important?" video is a great video that applies to cloud and non-cloud students. More videos like this would be great.
Exercises 6 and 7 do not even have recommendations for non-cloud users.

OSIsoft currently offers OSIsoft Cloud Services and PI Cloud Connect, and it will only continue to expand its offering of cloud-based technologies and programs that integrate with cloud services.

Please make a course about these and allow the customer to practice in a Training Cloud Environment. As with any multi-program course, the benefits are that the customer will learn how to use their current cloud setup more effectively and that they will understand parts of the OSIsoft cloud that they don't currently use. The latter will help them see the benefits of the OSIsoft cloud, which translates to more business for OSIsoft.

The creation of such a course will also help assert the idea that OSIsoft's cloud technologies are just as important, to customers and to OSIsoft, as the classic PI system.

OSIsoft has currently not posted any videos about OSIsoft Cloud Services. The videos on YouTube that do cover OSIsoft Cloud Services were not posted by OSIsoft.

Some topics to cover could include what it is, how to use it, what problems it solves, why even a small business might want to use it, how it differs from PI Cloud Connect, etc. This would not only be helpful for current users, but it would also help advertise OSIsoft Cloud Services and attract more customers.

I feel that some customers are in the same boat as me. They know that the cloud is the next big thing, but they've never dealt with it before. OSIsoft Cloud Services is a mystery that seems to be aimed at big corporations with super smart PI administrators. Some customers are reluctant to try OSIsoft Cloud Services because the barrier to entry seems high, they don't understand it, and their current PI system seems to be sufficient (ignorance is bliss). Please enlighten us!

I wish to know how to only update the information on 1 page in a spreadsheet that has 31 pages in the workbook. I.e., 1 Page for each day of the month. Each page collects information for 33 items every hour.
Currently pressing Ctrl + Alt + Shift + F9 updates all 31 pages as well as any other spreadsheets I have open using PI & it takes a few minutes each time. I’m currently running a Macro for this.
Also is there a way that these updates can be done automatically at around 5 minutes past the hour?
Any help in these matters will be greatly appreciated.

The video "Configure Security for the PI Interface for OPC DA" in the 'Configuring a Simple PI System' course could benefit by reinforcing the fundamental concept of what a 2+ PI trust actually is at a second point in the video.

The first time I watched it, I missed the brief definition near the beginning, and then became rather lost later in the material, until I re-watched it from the beginning and stopped to consider this point. A simple on-screen speech bubble (perhaps at 6:25) clarifying this point would be helpful - the spoken material is ambiguous here and so it's not entirely clear what is actually being communicated.
