Table

Use the table symbol to add one or more data items to a display in a table format. Data items, which could be PI AF attributes or PI points, appear in the table as rows and their associated data appears in columns.

To add a table symbol to a display, select the table symbol icon in the Symbol Gallery and then drag data items (i.e., the PI AF attributes and/or PI points) from the Assets pane onto the display. Each data item that you add to the table has its own row. The table's columns provide data about each data item, such as the name, value, description, etc. These data values take their intervals from the display's time range as defined in the timebar.

If the data item stores a URL, then the Value column contains an active hyperlink (depicted by ) for the data item in the table.

To sort the data columns in alphabetical or numerical order, select a column heading. Selecting the heading more than once reverses the sort order.

To resize columns, hover your mouse cursor over a column separator in the table heading and move the double-arrow cursor to the appropriate width. Change the column order by selecting a column header and dragging it to another location on the table, either left or right.

Note: You can add dynamic search criteria to a table and automatically find, show, and update data from similar assets inside the table. See Add dynamic search criteria.
