Apply this state machine to models and assets

The Apply this state machine to models and assets page allows you to select the models and assets for which you want the state machine to run. For assets, you can specify assets to include and exclude. You can also choose to apply a state machine to all assets in the Platform (the default setting). For example, if an asset is going to be serviced but will still be connected to the Axeda® Platform for testing, you may want to exclude that asset from the processing by the state machine temporarily.
