    It would be very helpful to expand the functionality of the "Manage Relationships" screen. Additional sort-able columns indicating "Assume Referential Integrity" and "Cross Filter Direction" would be helpful.

    Also, for data models that require a large number of relationships, it would be great if it were setup in a grid (dimensions x FACTS) so that you could quickly establish relationships between your tables. The current tool is very difficult and lags when dealing with 100+ relationships.

    I agree - this experience is so slow. The new designer does nothing to address this user experience. We need a data entry grid for relationships with any processing done in the background.

    RE: Better Relationship Management

    I can't imagine that I am the only one who thinks this experience could be much better. It currently takes me over an hour to configure all of the relationships in my data model. What I am suggesting should allow this to be done in less than 10 minutes.
