Work with displays

Displays are used for visualizing data in AVEVA PI Vision. You can create, edit, and store symbols in a display that represent your operational environment and allow you to monitor it. You can use displays to do the following:

• Create a display that focuses on a set of data and then quickly and easily share that display with others across your organization.

• Send the URL for a shared display in an email or instant message so that another user could view them in a read-only mode.

• Create an ad hoc display to present data that is not already predefined in a display. These are often used to troubleshoot an active problem with an asset or process. You can view data items from multiple displays showing different parts of an asset or process as they trend over time instead of by only a current value on a process monitoring display.
