Home page

The AVEVA PI Vision home page shows the displays you can access. You can search for displays, create new displays, and use several options to filter and sort displays.

Administrators and those with write access can create folders and organize displays. See Folders.

1. Thumbnail/Table views - Allows you to switch between viewing the list of available displays with their thumbnail images or in a simple table with only text.

2. User Settings - Allows you to set options that apply only to you. Other users are not impacted by any User Settings that you select.

3. Sort options - Allows you to choose the order that the displays are listed on the page.

4. New display button - Allows you to create a new display.

5. Open Ad Hoc Workspace button - Opens the Ad Hoc Workspace where you can interact directly with data (rather than viewing the data depicted on displays that were built), which can be helpful when you are troubleshooting active problems or you otherwise want to simply view live data.

6. Display thumbnail - A preview of available displays. Select the thumbnail to view the display.

7. Show/hide private displays - Allows administrators to show displays that are set up as private. A private display is a display where no permissions were granted to any identities, so that it is generally intended to be viewed only by the user who created it.

8. Select all displays - Allows you to select all displays in the current folder then use the buttons to the left to either delete them or move them to a different folder. The number that appears is the number of the displays that are currently selected. You can also select displays individually by selecting the check icon on those displays.

9. Delete selected displays - Allows you to delete displays that are selected. Deleted displays go to the Recycle Bin where they can be restored or permanently deleted. You must have the Manage permission on a display to be allowed to delete it.

10. Move selected displays - Allows you to move all of the displays that are currently selected to a different folder. You must have the Manage permission on a display to be allowed to move it.

11. Filter by Keywords - Allows you to filter the displays that appear based on keyword tags that are assigned to displays.

12. Search box - Allows you to search for displays based on any words in the display name.

13. Predefined groups - System-provided options for filtering the displays that appear.

14. Folders - The folders where displays are stored, which are created by your organization .

15. Public display icon - Indicates that at least one identity is granted permission to view the display.

16. Private display icon - Indicates that no identities are granted permission to view display, so that it is generally intended to be viewed only the user who created it. However, administrators can view private displays that were created by other users.

17. Related displays - Allows you to show only the displays that share at least one keyword tag with that display.

18. Edit display settings - Allows you to change the display's settings, such as the display owner, keyword tags, and the identities that have permission to view and edit the display.

19. Add display to favorites - Allows you to designate the display as a favorite, so that it appears when you choose to show only Favorites from the predefined groups.

20. Owner - The user who owns the display. The owner can view and edit the display even if their identity is not granted any read or write permissions for the display.
