Steps for each station List

This middle area of the Niagara Network Prototype View shows a one-line summary for each step to be run for each station specified in this job. In most provisioning jobs, you add one or more steps. As needed, you can also remove and reorder steps (when the job runs, steps execute in the top-to-bottom order).
