Ability to add extra table(s) to a view of tables in data module

Using release 11.1x we like the ability to create a view of tables in a data module like we used query subjects in framework manager.

Unfortunately it's not possible to add extra to tables to a existing view after the creation. This means that in that situation you have to drop and recreate the view again. You also need to adjust all properties and so on. With the risk existing reports or dashboards won't work anymore. You also have to re-create all joins to other tables or views in you model.

This is a major short-come.

    I hope there will be a quick solution to this problem. It is not understandable that a business intelligence tool does not have this functionality.

    Thanks and regards.

    Agreed. This a major miss. The ability to modify an existing view with additional tables seems so generic that we couldn't believe the functionality didn't exist. This alone is reason enough not to use data modules in a large corporate setting. Please get this into the next release.

    This is a no-brainer. It's a huge pain to create another view if the view already has many tables.
