Wizard page

The wizard page that is to be displayed in the UDI Wizard for a specific stage within a specific stage group.

A wizard page is based on an instance of the wizard page in the Page Library. An instance of a wizard page may appear in multiple stages and stage groups. Configuration settings for a wizard page affect the wizard page instance, not the individual pages that appear in the stages and stage groups.

Note   Create a unique instance of a wizard page in the Page Library for each set of unique configuration settings that you want to manage for a specific type of wizard page.

Wizard page sequence

The sequence in which the wizard page is displayed in the UDI Wizard for a specific stage within a specific stage group.
