Adding custom answers to relevancy training (answers not in the top 100)

Since WDS does Top K retrieval it is not always a case that relevant answers appear in the top 100. So a capability to add custom answers to relevancy training will be helpful

End user notification when added to a WKS instance

Currently a user who is added using the Manage users WKS, does not get notified that they have added to a Workspace. So they do not know to go to the tooling. Also, if the user's default bluemix region is not Germany or US South, they have to chan...

Allow tooling users to be able to save queries inside of tooling
