Create a form with multiple wizard steps

Form with Wizard steps assists with the creation of forms with some sort of form flow. For example, if you had a large form for entering user data, you could use a form with wizard to divide it into a series of related steps. This has the advantage of not overwhelming users with a really long form and also giving them some indication of their progress as they enter their information.

A simple, linear form may not require steps, whereas a complex form may require the use of several steps for better UI experience and also to easily enter data.

Sometimes it's better to separate a large or complex form into different sections. It’s because your form looks much cleaner and less difficult.

Now let's learn how to create a form with multiple wizard steps in WaveMaker applications.

Example: Below is the sample database Employee entity.
