Edit analyses with PI Builder

With PI Builder, you can use Microsoft Excel to edit multiple analyses at once. For example, you can change the scheduling for a number of analyses from event-triggered to periodic.

1. Retrieve the analysis that you want to edit.

   1. On the PI Builder tab, click Elements > Find Elements.

   2. In the Element Search window, find the element on which you created an analysis.

   3. In the Search results table, select the element and click OK.

2. In the Select Object Types and Column Headers window, select the worksheet column headers.

   1. Select the Template check box in the Element group if the element is based on a template.

   2. Select the Analysis check box.

   3. Click OK.

      PI Builder inserts the selected column headers into the worksheet and retrieves the data for the selected element.

3. Edit any values that you want to change.

4. In the Selected(x) column, set the value to X for any row where you edited a value, and clear the value for any row that you did not change.

5. Publish the changes to PI AF:

   1. On the PI Builder tab, click Publish to open the Publish Options window.

   2. From the Edit Mode list, select Edit Only to guard against mistakenly creating new objects.

   3. Click OK to publish the changes to PI AF.

      If any of the selected objects do not already exist, PI Builder generates an error.
