Modeling Work Assignment Improvements

This feature provides you with the ability to view the assigned shipments, calculated fields, time and cost information of a Modeling Work Assignment on the Modeling Work assignment screen. This screen is now similar to the operational OTM Work Assignment UI so as to keep the functionality and user experience consistent.

Below is the old Modeling Work Assignment screen (prior to 24A). Notice that it has very minimal information.
