The input of data takes place in three steps: Entering personal data, Entering address details and Showing summary. The process navigation is configured to show only process steps with forms.
The current process step is highlighted: In our example, the user is currently in step Showing summary.

Configuration Options





Show Only Steps with Form

If this option is activated, the process navigation only displays process steps for which a form has been defined.


Number of Shown Steps

The process navigation shows the complete path a user has taken in the process, so this can lead to long paths. The option Number of Shown Steps allows you to define a maximum number of steps the process navigation should display at the same time. The default value is -1 (all steps are displayed).
