Description

The dashboard "status" page is useful for monitoring job execution.

However, in many workflows, it's common to have multiple job stages (query 1, query 2, query n). At a glance, one can't easily tell from the dashboard which stage is currently executing (and thus to get a sense of overall workflow progress). Typically I inspect a job log file or terminal output to get that sort of application specific info.

It would be nice for the dashboard to support (possibly via the `client` API?) displaying some user controllable text on the status page.

For example, in a 10 query job, I'd like to programmatically set something like:
```
Currently Executing: query 4/10
Started at 2022-7-14 12:00:00
```
