Stepper

When To Use

A Stepper is used when a series of pages are needed to complete a process or connect a series of pages in a specific order. The primary case is in the context of a multi-step form.

Generally for multi-step forms:

  • Terms of Use page is not included on the Stepper

  • A Review page should be included

  • The Confirmation page should be included as part of the Stepper

  • The maximum number of steps is ideally 7

  • Step pages must include a “cancel” button; e.g. “Cancel” or “Cancel Application” or “Cancel {{Subject}}”

When Not To Use

If you have a scenario that requires additional sub steps and or another multistep form; under a single step. It’s recommended to rethink using a multistep form for the main flow; or change the overall design pattern to avoid sub-steps.
