View and manage cardinality, filter direction, and active status, edit relationships with double-click, and automatically restore saved relationship connections and table layouts when reopening or switching data sources.

• Added Graphical Representation for Table Joins and Relationships – Introduced graphical relationship lines in the Data Source Designer to visually represent configured tables and their join relationships. This enhancement helps users better understand the data model, verify table connections, and simplify data source configuration and analysis.
