Add visual indicator for DirectQuery #636
Description
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!
