Job Aid
PI Server Updates
This job aide serves as a quick guide to show users how to accomplish the task of adding additional servers to their PI operational monitoring tool. It is very rare that additional servers are added into the environment. As such, users may not have the knowledge or may not have completed this task in quite some time. The job aid will serve as a quick start or refresher guide to easily demonstrate the steps required to add the server connections to their machines.
It was created using Adobe Photoshop because it allowed the creation of a document that could incorporate the necessary screen shots and text and be produced in a high quality resolution best for printing and electronic distribution. To obtain screen shots that would not degrade with the high resolution quality required the desktop display settings had to first be adjusted. Once this was properly set the images where imported into Photoshop and incorporated with layers of text and a gradient background.

Captivate Tutorial
DataLink Functions
Provides an overview of the OSI PI DataLink Excel Add-In and demonstrates how to use the Add-In to retrieve tag attributes, current values, and sample values. The server specific information has been blacked out on the video with little black boxes to prevent any security issues. This video was created as a result for client request to better understand the “Task Pane” that was introduced in this version of the Add-In.
Adobe Captivate was used to show how the Task Pane changed depending on which functions were selected. This would have been difficult to do with just screen captures and is much easier to visualize through live action video.
