A wizard is an ordered sequence of screens (pages) through which you interact with Flex in order to carry out work. Dalet Flex’s wizard framework is very extensible so that developers can create their own wizards with their own associated screens.
Wizards can be launched in three different ways:
A stand alone wizard can be found inside the I Want To… box on each dashboard for easy access.
Wizard pages are the individual screens through which you interact with in Dalet Flex to get work done. When wizards are created, the specific pages are selected and the order in which the pages should be presented are also set.
To run a stand-alone wizard simply find the I Want To… box on any dashboard in the Dalet Flex console. Click on the name of the wizard you wish to run.
