    Interaction

    1. First step

    • In Edit mode, any step can be selected from the left-hand navigation panel.

    Image Removed

    2. Middle steps

    • It should be possible to return to any previous step using the navigation panel.

    • Navigating to an earlier step shows the choices and content the user has previously entered, which can all be changed or edited.

    • If the user navigates to an earlier step and doesn’t change anything, all of the content for the steps which have already been completed will remain the same.

    • If the user navigates to an earlier step and changes something, it may clear or invalidate other choices within this step or other steps, where there are dependencies. All other choices and content should remain the same.

    • In Edit mode, any step can be selected from the left-hand navigation panel.

    Image Removed

    3. Last step

    •  Where relevant, show a summary of what is about to be created or updated.

    • The Next button will change to show the final action which will occur. For example, Create statistic Set.

    • After the wizard has been completed, a success or failure message should be shown in a Toast.

    • In Edit mode, any step can be selected from the left-hand navigation panel.

    Validations and errors

    Validations are shown inside each step, both for individual fields and the entire step as a whole. See Field Validation.

    Image Removed

    Transitions

    • When moving between steps, a transition will be used in the navigation panel, if technically possible.

    ...

    • On the navigation panel, the user can only select steps that were already filled in. Selecting a step shows the content of that step and updates the navigation panel accordingly.

    • Clicking the Next button saved the data and goes to the next step. In this case, both the content and the navigation bar are updated.

    • Clicking the Back button saves the data (without triggering a mandatory field validation), and goes to the previous step.

    ...

    • On the last step, clicking the primary button:

      • performs the wizard action,

      • either:

        • closes the dialog (or goes to the initial page), and shows a success (or failure) toast,

        • goes to a final step showing the results.

    ...

    • If the wizard appears in a dialog, clicking the X button on the header will close the dialog, without saving its content. In this case, a confirmation popup may appear.

    Validations and errors

    • Each step of the wizard behaves as a separate form, where both client-side and server-side validations may occur.

    • For detailed information about form validations, see Forms Validations and Errors.

    • For detailed information about specific component’s validations, see Field Validation.

    ...

    Transitions

    • When moving between steps, a transition should be used on both the navigation bar and the content area to illustrate the flow.

    Best practices

    Use where:

    • object creation or editing may be complex and needs to be divided into steps.

    • users needs guided help.

    • steps are dependant on each other in a complex way.

    Don’t use where:

    • the overall task isn’t complex (less than 3 steps).

    • advanced users might be frustrated by a wizard, which can be rigid and limiting.

    General

    • The number of steps should be between 3 and 7, for readability and ease of use.Provide .

    • On each step:

      • keep the wizard title short and informative,

      • include a brief explanation at the top, describing the purpose of the step,

      • set the focus to the first field,

      • provide the user with enough information to make decisions and act on them

      .
    • The title of each step should be short and clear, and describe the step’s purpose.

    • Each step should present a brief explanation of its purpose at the beginning.

    • Use defaults or predefined
      • ,

      • use default values where possible.

    Use where:

    • object creation or editing may be complex and needs to be divided into steps.

    • users needs guided help.

    • steps are dependant on one another in a complex way.

    Don’t use where:

    • the overall task isn’t complex.

    • users are advanced and might be frustrated by a wizard, which can be rigid and limitingOn the last step show a summary of what is about to be created or updated.

    • Where possible, save user input when leaving a step or in case of a wizard submission failure.
