Virtual data sources

Export out tables views in Rhapsody through the RMM API

Provide basic version control of template/reports assets

It is important that we know which template generated a report. It would be ideal if each version of the template that is uploaded to document builder maintained a version number. Added to this there should be an ability to switch to a version of ...
