Add visual indicator for DirectQuery

[edhans]

Suggested UI enhancement.

Have some indicator for the tables that come from a DQ source vs import, and potentially even a numerical or alphabetical indicator of the model. In the image below Employees is from a different AAS source, but other than looking at the details and compariing GUIDs no way I can see to know.

Maybe another column that has the dataset name in this view?

But even a table icon with a little link or lighting bolt to quickly distinguish form import tables.

Good point. DQ models and especially DQ over AS models are rarely opened in Tabular Editor, so there’s probably a bunch of stuff we can do to improve the experience overall.

A pure DQ model I would agree, but a composite model with a mix will likely become increasingly common. I hit this today trying to debug an issue and was having trouble keeping the table origins straight.

Thanks!

This feature has been in Tabular Editor 3 for a bit:

Example with Import, but also works for DQ

Appologies for not updating this request earlier.
