enhancement: shortcut to create hypercube from table

Open nixnut opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Being able to quickly create a hypercube from a table instead of having to add each individual field of that table would be awesome.

Hi @nixnut,

Thanks for the enhancement request! Would it be a good idea to add the tables to the hypercube builder, in a tab next to the fields/dimensions/measures?

Hi Helene,

That would be fine. Another option would be to add it to the table 'tiles' at the top. Come to think of it an add to hypercube icon on the field boxes would be nice too. That would allow one to quickly tick a number of fields from a table and add them to a hypercube. Possible followed by ticking some additonal fields from some other tables. That's a lot faster and easier than have to find and select them one by one in the field list in the hypercube builder ui.
