In a Docupace Start wizard a button with an Action Type "Perform Transition Action" is used to navigate to a specific wizard page based on conditions, such as data entered into wizard fields or any other conditions. This allows to skip pages, that are not necessary for the end-user. For example, if a page collects data about additional account stakeholders, but the user has previously marked that he is the sole entity owner, then it is not useful to show him the additional stakeholders page. He needs to proceed directly to the next steps of the wizard.

If the page contains several Action buttons that use different transitions, you must define a separate transition with a different name for each button in the Page Settings. In the simple example below, the wizard will navigate to one of three pages based on the radio button selected by the user. Proceed as follows:

To configure a button for conditional navigation, you will need to:

  • place on the wizard's page the data field(s) that will be used as conditions

  • create and configure the "Perform Transition Action" button

  • define the transition action itself and its condition rules in the Page Settings.

Transitions

Transition rules define, which page will be opened next. Conditions will be checked one by one in the order as they appear. First condition which is evaluated to TRUE, defines the page that will open next. If neither of the conditions defined below evaluates to TRUE, then no action will be performed, i.e., the user will remain on the same page of the wizard.

If the page contains several Action buttons that use different transitions, you must define a separate transition with a different name for each button. In this case we only need one transition with two rules.
