Selecting Elements in PAW Data Extract view

WHen I wish to do a data extract from PAW, I want to be able to "dynamically" select the elements when I setup the view.

Now, in PAW, one only has 2 options when setting up the view ( if it does not exist for Data Extract) which is : select 1 element OR select a pre-defined Subset. Sometimes this is a one off extract so I do not see the need to create a subset. Can IBM allow us to Select multiple elements in the PAW data extract create view step?

And after we set it up, we do not have the option to "save" the view when previously in Architect we had the option to save it. Will IBM consider giving us the option to save the view via this method? Sometimes after setting up the view for Data Extract, we want to save time in case we need to re-extract again and save it to use in the future. It is a view purely for Data Extract and not to be used in PAfe. Right now we can only save a view via Exploration/Viewer in PAFE or when we open the cube view in PAW and drag drop dims etc.

    Yes, that functionality would be useful to support, IBM Planning Analytics considers adding it.
