Newest Views enhancement does not enable users to select single or multiple elements to drag into the Row or Column. This should be enhanced to act like it does in the web designer or excel addin. The new functionality enables users to drag the dimension to the pov and select a single element or element hierarchy, then drag to the column or row. This is not an efficient workaround as it is an additional step and you cannot multi-select.
Thanks for this idea. We think it is a good one. We have started an internal process for the implementation of this feature. Watch this space!
