RELATED IDEAS

Add clear visual indication of the current object type being viewed or searched in Workload Designer.

Why is it useful?
In the current Workload Designer interface, there is no clear indicator showing which object type (e.g., Job, Job Stream, Workstation, Variable table, etc.) the user is currently viewing or searching. As shown in the attached screenshot, users can see a list of items but cannot easily determine whether they are looking at jobs, job streams, or other object types. This lack of context leads to confusion, especially when switching between different object types frequently, and increases the risk of selecting or editing the wrong object.

Who would benefit from it?
All Workload Designer users, including schedulers, operators, and administrators who regularly browse, search, and manage different object types.

How should it work?

Display a prominent header or badge indicating the current object type (e.g., "Job Streams", "Jobs", "Workstations") at the top of the list view.

Ensure the object type indicator updates dynamically when users switch between object types via the navigation tree or search.

Optionally, highlight the selected object type in the navigation tree to reinforce the current context.
