Use the display workspace

Displays are the foundation for visualizing data in AVEVA PI Vision and act as containers for creating, editing, and storing symbols that represent your operational environment. Owners of displays can make displays private or share the displays with other users. Each display has exactly one owner, a single user (initially the display creator). Administrators can change display ownership, and they can also edit the display, regardless of whether they are members of an AF Identity with write access to the display. A user, who is not an administrator or a member of an AF Identity with write access to the display, can only save their changes as a new display.
