  Workflow

Explanation of the steps:

Steps
START	Starting a guide can be done in two ways; - Internal - External
GUIDE STEP	There are different types of guide steps
OK	The OK step can be any step in the guide. The action can be: - OK button pressed - OK I/O set
NOK	The NOK step can be any step in the guide. The action can be: - NOK button pressed - NOK I/O set - Next validation fails
BACK	The back step can be any step in the guide. The action will be a Back button pressed.
GUIDE STEP (last)	The OK of the last guide step, depends on which guide is running. - Internal is going to close after the last step. Set the OK step to a guide number, NOT in the guide. - External is going to start over after the last step. Set the OK step to the appropriate guide step. - External is going to close after the last step. Set the OK step to a guide which tells the user to close the guide.
