Ability to organize fields into folders to allow users to easily find them

You're able to set these in the Model View properties pane. I see some comments asking for the ability to put *tables* inside display folders. Please add your votes here to support that: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/38593990--display-folders-above-table-level-in-data-model Thanks again for all your support!

RE: Add Folders to organize fields
A very necessary feature when working with big data sets.
I hate to say it but "T*" has this feature.
RE: Add Folders to organize fields
This feature is available in almost all other self-serving BI tools and it is a must-have! Please make it happen!
RE: Add Folders to organize fields
Please...!! seems crazy that the Query Editor has Groups in which objects can be organised, but the main Desktop doesn't!
RE: Add Folders to organize fields
Yes please! This would huge for both end users and developers of Power BI \ Tabular Models.
I just posted a similar request over on the Azure Analysis Services suggestion board (not sure how many of the suggestions are shared between dev teams)

RE: Add Folders to organize fields
Need this badly. Please provide an update on when Microsoft is planning to start working on this. Simple organizing of fields is pretty basic need. Tool like Power BI should support this.
RE: Add Folders to organize fields
The ability to group tables into folders / by type for navigation would make the UI much more user friendly & less intimating.
For example you may have 10 relationship dim tables defining aspects of the risk & 10 others defining aggregated reporting buckets. At present these would appear as a list of 20 separate tables in the UI whereas the ability to put them in 'folders' (like Risk Analysis & Risk Aggregation in this instance) would make a much cleaner UI. Large models with lots of items quickly look clunky.
RE: Add Folders to organize fields
When will this be avaliable?
It's seems like it's already made, as it's a part of this video, showing a _Trip folder in the Trip table:

RE: Add Folders to organize fields
is it possible to have the SSAS folder feature in powerbi which is good for managing too many measures in the right pane. it is much better to organize them into different folders
RE: Add Folders to organize fields
Been using the work around of creating a new tables to store measures in for over a year now, still surprised this hasn't been developed yet despite the various posts I have seen and the work already put into developing the selection pane etc?
RE: Add Folders to organize fields
The ability to organize data into folder and subfolder will make it easier for the business to locate objects
