Set up list indicators
The list indicator shows a list of states for a process or operation, and highlights the
current state.
Each state is represented by a caption in the list. This type of indicator is useful if you
want operators to view the current state, but also see the other possible states.
For sequential processes, the list can inform the operator about what happens next.
The list indicator has no error state. If the value of the Indicator connection does not
match any of the available states, none of the states is highlighted.
