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. |
