Description
Me and my colleagues would very much appreciate an easy way to see all the stored blending connections/joins of a data set. For example in the Inspect Data Set dialog there could be a tab for it. It should contain the data set columns that have stored/pre-defined joins to other data sets. Preferably there would be a way to delete unwanted joins, and to have multiple joins (to different data sets) from one column. The only way I've achieved the latter is to duplicate the column.
Thanks,
Jon
Use Case and Business Need
A customer user typically has data sets that are shared with other users. Allowing multiple joins to other data sets, and a possibility to administer them, would make it possible to share data sets better without deleting each others joins.
More details
User A might want to join this shared data set to data set X whereas user B wants to join the same data set to data set Y. And they want to do it from the same column. This is apparently not possible at the moment. The last saved join will win. This behavior is not intuitive. Especially when you cannot see the joins of a data set other than in the project view. You will then believe the project stores the join, which is not the case.
