Toggle Between Direct and Fully Burdened Rates in Rate Selection Window of Staffing View

Summary:
Enable users to toggle between Direct Rate and Fully Burdened Rate within the Rate Selection window in Staffing view. This would allow users to evaluate and compare labor rates based on either base cost or total cost, making sorting, filtering, and rate selection more efficient.

Problem Statement:
Currently, users can view direct rates during rate selection, but they do not have an easy way to evaluate fully burdened rates in the same workflow. This creates inefficiency for users who need to account for indirect costs when comparing options. In scenarios like heat mapping, where users need a quick visual way to identify the best rates by labor category, the lack of a fully burdened rate view makes the process slower and less effective.

Proposed Solution:
Add a toggle in the Rate Selection window in Staffing view that lets users switch between Direct Rate and Fully Burdened Rate.
Ensure the selected rate view updates consistently across sorting and filtering functions so users can analyze results using their preferred cost basis.
Allow users to compare labor categories, vendors, and hourly rates using either direct or fully burdened values without leaving the rate selection workflow.
Support use cases such as identifying the lowest hourly rate for a specific labor category from a specific company while accounting for indirect costs through the fully burdened rate.

Benefits:
Improves decision-making by allowing users to evaluate rates based on either direct or total cost.
Makes heat mapping and rate analysis more effective by giving users clearer visibility into the most cost-effective options.
Reduces manual effort and time spent switching between views or calculating indirect costs separately.
Enhances sorting and filtering workflows, making rate selection faster and easier.
