Show highlighted tables origin

Consider the following setup:

  • PRODUCT-table in ODX
  • PRODUCT-table in DSA
  • PRODUCT-table in MDW

When highlighting one of the tables it would be nice to see somewhere central (top bar or bottom bar) what table is actually highlighted when scrolling through fields.

 

It's easy to loose overview when scrolling through a long list of fields or tables and it would therefore be nice to see somewhere which table actually has the focus atm. This would also reduce the risk of errors in case one did an unwanted click somewhere by accident.

Hi David,

I see some potential in this idea. I imagine it as a "breadcrumb" bar like the one on top of this page.

So for instance, it would say

Project > Data Warehouses > MyDWH > Tables > PRODUCT

and it would be possible to click each item to go to that place in the tree.

Does this match what you're thinking?

Cheers,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

 

yes, that would be a fantastic solution!

Hi David

Thanks for submitting your idea. Your continued feedback on our product is very important to us. And so is your engagement in our community.

I have passed your input to our R&D department for further evaluation. 

At the time of this posting, the current product roadmap is focused on a major evolution in foundational pieces of our software including splitting the development into ODX, MDW, Semantic Layer, and User Portal. With this splitting and evolution, we will continue to see incredible innovation in the product that may exceed your expectations or make the need for this feature obsolete.

Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss further.

Thanks!
