- A filter bar that has these filters:

- Role: When you select a role from the list, all the states in that role become highlighted. When you select a state and a role, only those transitions in or out of that state that are assigned to the selected role are displayed in the Transitions area.

- State: When you select a state from the list, that state becomes highlighted in the lifecycle model. It is an alternative to selecting the state in the lifecycle model. When you select a state in the lifecycle model this filter updates to reflect your selection.

- Object Type: If you have selected an object type from this list, then what is shown in the Transitions area and Attribute Rules area reflect this specific object type.
