   The only way to create views as of now is to use the SQL tab and type in your statement. I think the reason that there is no dialog for it is that the creation of a view is basically a SELECT statement:

   CREATE VIEW `my_view` AS SELECT ...

   A SELECT statement, however, can be quite complex and at least I don't have an idea on how to design an efficient UI for it.
   What you can do, by the way, is typing a SELECT statement in the SQL tab, execute it, have a look at the results, repeat this procedure if needed, and eventually click on the Save button near the results table which allows you to create a view from this select statement,

   No worries. That'll work for now. We can think of ways to construct stuff visually later on if people ask for it. 😄
