StepByStep

Beta Accessible

StepByStep component is useful for visualising a process in steps. The component supports numbered list for cases where the steps must be completed in a specific order, and unnumbered list for cases where the steps are more of a guideline.

Principles

  • The purpose of the StepByStep component is to provide an easy overall picture of a process.
  • Every step should have a title.
  • Step description is optional. The description should be compact, preferably one sentence long and two at the maximum. This is because the steps should provide a quick way to understand the whole process and too long texts can hinder that experience.
  • A step can have a button as a call to action, e.g. making a phone call. But a button should not direct to another site.
  • A step can have a link to provide additional information.
  • The button and the link should relate to the step's contents. We recommend having only one button or a link per step, but sometimes it could be reasonable to have two. Before adding a second button or a link, consider whether the step should be divided into two steps. If you add two buttons, make the second one variant="secondary".

Variations

Default

The unnumbered list is useful when the order of the steps is less important and they form more of a guideline.
