 * Extend the capabilities of the tree views (e.g. add sums)
 * Provide a tutorial (eg. a working example of usage)
 * Implement a more advanced UI, with possibilities to use LEFT JOIN as default instead of INNER JOIN

 * Data the user has no access to (e.g. in a multi company situation) can be viewed by making a view
 * Store the JSON data structure in ORM
 * Would be nice if models available to select when creating a view are limited to the ones that have intersecting groups (for non technical users)
