2. In the buildComponentData() of the table builder, acquire wtPart content object from params and use new AccountabilityServiceImpl().getAccountabilityMaps(part) API to obtain the smart collections related with the part.
3. In buildComponentConfig() method of the table builder, add appropriate columns such as Icon, Name, Number and so on.
4. Add class level annotation: @ComponentBuilder.
5. For the table component, create an action in *-actions.xml.
6. Add the new action entry in *actionmodels.xml so that the table is rendered on the part information page as shown below.
