The ability to mark tables as "not subject", or specify for what they should be used or not.

If you want to build an application in traditional layers, there are things you don’t want to show as a form, some things only as lookup, for filters, etc.

It would be great to be able to define that something is not for user input, and hide it from the subject list.

Hi Daan,

We currently don't have a formal way of defining the reason of existence for a table.

Would the Table description be a fitting alternative to use? The Table description can be filtered on, so you could exclude tables using a certain keyword in the description. Alternatively, you can make use of Table tags and write Dynamic model code that uses this information to enrich the model.
