GWW - Make a resource match by Work Zone obvious and align with WOTRACK

In Graphical Work Week there are background colours (turquoise) in the Resource View to indicate a match (or not) by craft and skill level. There is nothing to indicate whether there is a match by work zone.

There are four states, a match on the default work zone, a match by a secondary work zone, no match with a work zone where the resource references a work zone of the same work zone type, no match with a work zone where resource has no work zone at all or no work zone of the work zone type.

    Hello Andrew,

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. We truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations, and ideas.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The offering team has carefully reviewed this idea and has decided that it does not fit into our immediate release plans. It might be reassessed or reopened for additional feedback in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us the privilege of partnering with you in developing our products.

    - Add work zone column to both Work View (ASSIGNMENT.WORKZONE) and Resource View (LABORWORKZONE, AMCREWWORKZONE where DEFAULTZONE=1)
    - Option on GWW to "Highlight Work Zones"
    - When selecting an assignment in work view, then currently highlight in turquoise based on Craft or Craft/Skill - Highlight Work Zone = 0.
    - When selecting an assignment in work view, then Highlight Work Zone = 1, highlight in turquoise based on Craft or Craft/Skill being a match and dark turquoise labor/crew default work zone matches assignment, or lighter turquoise labor/crew has work zone but it is not their default.
    - Provide warnings when assigning to a labor or crew where the work zone is not a match or would not appear in Available Labor or Available Crews.
    - If accept warning then assignment should be highlighted in Yellow text and red bar and tooltip (like skill mismatch) until Refresh Work Orders is used.

    Other ways of designing this, except this may be confusing as resource columns are already highlighted.
