Wizards

A wizard consists of a series of panels in which users can enter and manipulate data. The panels are presented in a specific sequence defined when you create the wizard. This sequence displays in a table of contents frame. The user navigates using only the Previous and Next buttons and cannot select elements in the table of contents to move to a specific panel. Wizards are useful when you want the user to view and enter data into every panel. You can specify default data for the panels so that default values are pre-populated for the user. For example, you can pre-populate the year field with the current year. A Finish button may be placed on a panel before the last panel in the sequence. Once a user completes a wizard and if it is no longer necessary to follow the panels in the specific sequence then information entered through that wizard can be modified using notebooks or dialogs.
