Data module: model automation

Our modelers don't want to create their complex/big models completely manually. They need to create models partially by scripts which can be executed over the data module UI, like it is possible in Framework Manager. This possibility should be con...

Data module: add namespaces

Like in Framework Manager namespaces should be available in Data Modules, too. Namespaces are advantageous for bigger models and to be able to move them to another locaction without breaking reports.
