The operational dashboarding layer
One library for more of the work around PI Vision dashboards
Give users a display where they can see the situation, explore the context, capture what happened, and move to the next action without exporting first.
Filter and understand
Apply display-wide filters, asset and time selectors, comparisons, and drill-down views while PI System context stays close to the analysis.
Capture what systems miss
Enter manual readings, lab values, comments, reason codes, and shift notes without moving the workflow into a separate tool.
Act from the display
Add navigation, playback, alarms, and other controls that help teams use PI Vision as part of the daily operating workflow.
Interactive operational dashboarding
Keep operational analysis inside PI Vision
Many PI System workflows export Event Frame or asset data into files, SQL, or a separate BI tool before users can filter, compare, aggregate, and drill into the result. Vision Library+ brings those interactions into the PI Vision display.
Filter the view
Use display-wide filters—the same interaction pattern many teams know as slicers in Power BI—alongside asset, time, and Event Frame selectors.
Aggregate and compare
Summarize losses, events, production, or asset performance with KPI, chart, table, comparison, and analytics symbols.
Drill into the detail
Move from a summary or selected asset to the related event, trend, display, or detail view without losing the operating context.

What Vision Library+ adds to PI Vision
Build the dashboard your operational workflow actually needs
Extend AVEVA PI Vision with interactive dashboarding, analysis, data entry, Event Frame tools, and display controls—so teams can work with PI data in context instead of exporting first.
Interactive operational dashboards
Filter, compare, aggregate, and drill down inside PI Vision.
Use display-wide filters, asset and time selectors, KPI cards, charts, comparison views, and linked detail displays to explore PI data without an export-first handoff.
Event Frame tools
Understand what changed and why.
Review batches, downtime, excursions, and process events with timelines, filters, KPIs, charts, comparisons, and playback in the same PI Vision workflow.
Forms and structured data
Capture readings, notes, and operational data in PI Vision.
Add manual readings, lab values, shift notes, reason codes, and structured input to the display so important context stays connected to the PI System workflow.
Display controls
Turn a display into a daily-use operational workspace.
Add menus, asset selection, time controls, web views, and playback so users can move through the right context without losing their place.
Alarms and current status
Make current conditions and response signals easier to see.
Build operator screens for active alarms, line status, equipment state, locations, and response signals with clear visual and audible cues.
From symbols to an operational workspace
Turn a PI Vision display into the place work gets done
A basic display can show a value or a trend. Vision Library+ lets teams keep the PI System context, analyze what changed, and capture the next operational detail in one working view.
Context
Choose the asset, time range, shift, or Event Frame once and keep the surrounding display context aligned.
Analysis
Compare assets, aggregate results, spot limits, and drill into the trend or event that explains the change.
Action
Capture a reading, note, reason code, or response while the relevant PI data remains in view.
Use cases
Built for the moments when a dashboard needs to do more
The right combination of symbols depends on the work. Vision Library+ gives teams the building blocks to turn PI Vision into a practical workspace for analysis, investigation, input, and response.
One display, more context. Keep the asset, time range, event, analysis, and operational response connected instead of splitting the workflow across separate screens.
