How to check phase change states using MaterialProperty:PhaseChange?

I have my simulation model for a simple building room using PCM on the floor surface. I used the MaterialProperty:PhaseChange which requires the Field Set: Temperature-Enthalpy as an input. This setting is different from the MaterialProperty:PhaseChangeHysteresis where I can check the PCM states in the output of CondFD Phase Change States image description.

So, is there any way to check the changing states between liquid and solid of a PCM when I use the MaterialProperty:PhaseChange as an input?
