Work Queue - Set criteria to colour record text

In order for the Operational Dashboard to be able to replace the Start Centers the Work Queue (which is similar to Result Set portlet) should have the ability to color the text of each record according to an attribute value. In the Result Set Portlet this is defined under Color Options.

The obvious example which could be used for demo data is to color work orders by WOPRIORITY 1-10. Maximo Scheduler defines these colors as System Properties skd.workorder.priority.1.background is the background colour for priority 1 (very low). As an alternative Scheduler also has System Properties for WO Status skd.workorder.comp.background

    Yes! The work queue is not good now. Columns are not easy to add and remove for users, and no text color options. Please fix this. Thanks!
