RE: Support Display Folders for Table Objects

I support this idea. I am in a situation where I am managing a power bi dataset that includes data from multiple data sources in attempt to streamline my workflow. I can only do so much with standardizing the table naming convention and it would make it easier if I can group the tables in their own display folders, similar to a measure table.

We need this functionality! :) I'm tired of naming all my tables DIM_ and FACT_

I would love this feature as well. I would like to have Display folders for the tables and not just the fields that belong to a table (that is available now). This is much needed to group tables together in a folder the same way fields can be grouped together in a folder. Large data models with numerous tables from numerous data source can get confusing. It would be great to group the tables that belong to each data sources together. Let's add this ASAP. :-)

Add to this with the recent feature of connecting to multiple datasets. If each dataset was under its own folder then it would help with manageability so much more.

I think would be really useful in the fields list and model view

This indeed would be very helpful - if we could nest our tables on the Fields pane. it would make things much easier for dashboards with large numbers of tables.
