We are working in an AF model that helps plant operators to do the right actions when they have problems at the plant. Everything is already donde but when we try to display the actions in the display We get a Huge text object that is not suitable for the operators, of course that the actions change depending on the conditions of the variabble, process, etc. and this is already managed in the model, the thing is that we need to display the text dinamically, Anybody could please help me with this.

Thank you.

Hi Carlos,

It appears that this is an existing enhancement request. Many people seem to want the ability to wrap text in PI Vision as well. Please vote on this User Voice request. More votes mean a higher chance for the request to be implemented.

Let me know if you have further questions.

    Unfortunately, the best work around I can think of at the moment is splitting up the statement into multiple attributes or having a character limit on the attributes. These will still not allow you to wrap or format the text...
    
    Possibly something with the display window sizing. I will keep thinking on this and post if I can come up with a better workaround.

Hey Carlos, it seems you have opened a TS case(# 888533) for the same question, so we will address that in the case first, and update this thread once we have a conclusion.

Best,
Victor

You could always build a custom symbol to display the value and do the text wrap

Just to close the loop here, text wrap will be available in PI Vision 4, and Carlos has signed up to the open preview.

Hello everybody, thank you for all your help. We've solved our issue, we wrote a script in Java that does the text wrapping and works perfectly.

  Plan you to use such information for EVENT FRAME. Other words can you use your script for visualization of Events Table?
  And Can you ask what "value type" need to setup for attributes. (sting or ARRAY string). I have similar issue. We want create action for electricity personal when we have ERROR on the PUMP. Our Actions also have huge text.

  Hi Carlos,
  
  Would you mind sharing the script? While I've voted for the enhancement, we don't have time to wait for it to be implemented and have the same need for a workaround.
  
  Thanks,
  Kelsey
