A wizard step is an arrangement of developer-designed controls for the user to view and enter. There are three kinds of buttons whose location and appearance is predefined:
- Previous Button: This is the button on the step that navigates to the previous step in the sequence. It can be one that saves data or one that doesn't.
- Next Button: This is the button on the step that navigates to the next step in the sequence. It can be one that saves data or one that doesn't.
- Finish Button: This is the button on the step that finishes the wizard. It always saves data.
These buttons are always visible on the wizard. If one isn't on that step or isn't correctly identified in the step, it will be grayed out. But the user will always be able to see it.
By default, the wizard doesn't track the user's progress, but you can change settings in the wizard details so it does.
On the last wizard step, there will be an active Finish button. When the user clicks this button, the application navigates to whatever the button's active form is, generally the maintenance form of the record the wizard is creating. This maintenance form will be populated with all the data the user entered during the wizard.
