Many Time and Relative Time changes needed in Cube Designer

Several Relative Time issues enhancements needed

• We need the ability to hide any relative time that is automatically added when relative time is set to true. Some are not what the business wants and for some of them the %'s are not wanted either. Having the ability to set visible to TRUE or FALSE would allow us to provide what our business partners need.
• We need the ability to allow the Cube Designer the order in which they want to have the relative time and calculated time measures displayed to the users in the cube. Right now we have no control. We had to add some as a calculated time item, but these are all grouped together while the non calculated items are separate. We need the ability to inter mix these and set our own display order to meet the business needs. Also, once you add a calculated time item or even a relative time item, so cannot change the order, there is no up or down to move them.
• When relative time members are added they get embedded sometimes deep within the time hierarchy. Our business want them all to be shown at the root time level. There is no way to do this unless you create a calculated time member from the deeply embedded one to have it show at the root level.
