I’ve implemented a custom state as described in the [IState](https://api.hangfire.io/html/T_Hangfire_States_IState.htm) documentation, and implemented a filter using [IElectStateFilter](https://api.hangfire.io/html/T_Hangfire_States_IElectStateFilter.htm) and [JobFilterAttribute](https://api.hangfire.io/html/T_Hangfire_Common_JobFilterAttribute.htm). Functionally everything looks good, and I can find jobs that have been set to the new state by going through the batches details. Is there a way to get the new state to show up as an option in the Jobs sidebar menu, so that I could just see all jobs that are in the custom state? Not finding documentation on how to add custom states to the dashboard view.
