What is a step wizard?
Definition: A wizard is a step-by-step process that allows users to input information in a prescribed order and in which subsequent steps may depend on information entered in previous ones. Wizards usually involve multiple pages and are often (but not obligatorily) displayed in modal windows.
When should you use a wizard?
Wizards are best employed for long and unfamiliar tasks that the user needs to complete once or rarely. Wizards are shown to reduce errors by making the user follow sequential steps. Wizards are often used for onboarding flows, where the user needs to enter a set of information to get started in an application.
What is a wizard in UX UI?
A wizard is a setup assistant that guides the user through a series of steps or conditions that must be completed in order to achieve a goal. This software simplifies complicated tasks into manageable, smaller tasks, and instructs the user on how to complete these steps as they reach their end-goal (Babich 2018).
What is a wizard interface?
A software wizard or setup assistant is a user interface that presents a dialog box to lead the user through a sequence of small steps. It's often used to configure a program or service for the first time. Complex, rare, or unfamiliar tasks may be easier with a wizard that breaks the task down into simpler pieces.
