Enhanced DBB User Build results view

Today, DBB User build is prompting the developer after the execution with a dialog to list the programs build log and the build report.When the developer closes the dialog, the information need to be retrieved from work directory on USS, which takes time.

This idea is about providing a dedicated DBB Results view in IDZ.

Please see the attached screenshots as a "paper prototype".

    I would like to extend this idea to the popup window that appears once a build finished. It states that a build finished but doesn't provide any valuable information at glance. Depending on the implementation it might display the build log in the details view.

    The popup, in my opinion, should be able to provide information like: was the build successful or not (i.e., the return code) and in case something went wrong, display e.g., the build step. This could also be the place to link to a more detailed/in-depth view mentioned in this original idea (or the Remote Error List). An interface would be needed to provide that information back to IDz.

    Hopefully, this is the correct way of extending ideas. I feel like the build feedback could be improved and it makes a lot of sense to tackle this as a whole instead of writing separate and small ideas. I definitely like the mentioned points already!
