StateMachine viewer
The StateMachine viewer component displays the entity status, which is retrieved from the associated state flows. It can only be added to details pages.
In this example, the Content detail page, which is associated with the Ideation state flow, includes a StateMachine viewer in the SIDEBAR ZONE that displays the current state of the item.
To see the full workflow and its details, an Info 
button is added.
