Purpose
The wizard pattern is useful for guiding the user step by step through a process of either gathering information or basic configuration of an application.
Guidelines
- In addition to Next/Previous buttons, Include a list of steps that allow the user to track the current progress.
- The list should clearly identify the steps that have been completed and the steps that have not.
- Where possible, the user should be allowed to jump back to previous steps by selecting the step from the list.
- Where possible, the user should be allowed to quit the wizard at any time without adverse impacts.
