Workflow Status and Transition Tab
----------------------------------

This is the first tab in the horizontal navigation menu.
It has a gear icon and contains a name of the workflow and its description.
If you have manager privileges you will be able to edit either one by clicking on the text, editing, and confirming by clicking on the edit-box’s check-mark.

The page shows shows the current state of the workflow and a diagram depicting its state transitions.
This page also lets a user transition the workflow to the next state.
Depending on the current state and the role you play in the workflow process, you may see action buttons for moving the workflow to the next state.
